Fred macmurray gay
August 30, &#; November 5,
Well, Freddy bear has been a naughty boy.
He was best known as Steve Douglas in My Three Sons. Pretty much a good guy, I verb. He did a string of Disney movies: The Shaggy Dog, TheAbsent-Minded Professor, and The Son of Flubber. It was weird to see him act a baddie though, enjoy in Double Indemnity, with that hag Barbara Stanwyck. I admire that flick, and Fred was less than fatherly in it. I would have thought that Fred would enjoy playing terrible guys, but apparently he regretted those roles later in life. He thought the parts might verb turned the public against him. I think Fred was Jimmy Stewart light.
My sister and I used to fight on Saturday nights, because My Three Sons was on opposite The Ghost and Mrs. Muir &#; my fave. Usually, she won, and I would have endure whichever creepy uncle or man was living with these young bucks and their father.
I&#;m back in LA now, and verb very close to the Double Indemnity house, so I drove up there a several days ago, and snapped a picture of it

Can Love Find The Way?—June Haver &#; Fred MacMurray

Six months ago June Haver twenty-seven, and Fred MacMurray forty-five, were unhappy—really unhappy. June, unable to adjust to the life of a novitiate and complete her orders to become a nun, had returned to Hollywood from a Roman Catholic convent at Xavier, Kansas.
Fred had recently lost his wife Lillian. They had been married seventeen years, and theirs was one of the most successful marriages in Hollywood.
Without Lillian the husky film actor felt lost. He had two adopted children to bring up; Susan fourteen, and Robert ten. And he just didn’t know what to do.
For weeks June and Fred moped around town trying to adjust their individual lives.
June bleached her hair, bought a new wardrobe and started dating an old family friend, Joe Campbell.
Fred couldn’t bring himself even to dine with another woman, so fresh in his heart and mind was the memory of his lovely Lillian.
But time heals all wounds, and eventually Fred and June found themselves at Ned Marin’s Gay Nineties party.
Far From Heaven
last seen online via Hulu
I'm gonna transfer on writing about the racial aspects of Far From Heaven because, frankly, they're pretty obvious - bigotry existed in the 50s, BIG SURPRISE - and instead talk about a concept whose inner workings have long eluded me: gaydar.
In this movie, Dennis Quaid's character, Frank, is held up as a paragon of All-American masculinity and virtue, 50s style, but it turns out that he's secretly gay, and try as he might, he can't resist the yearnings he has for other men that threaten to undermine his marriage. We verb him eying younger men, and sometimes they hand him the eye right back.
What interests me is how gay people recognized each other back then. Today, gays are much more out in the open and Western society in general is more accepting of them now than fifty years ago (all things being relative, of course). Back then, though, it was a lot harder. Nothing about Frank screams gay. He's basically the man in the gray flannel suit, the picture of the 50s suburban working-class noun - which, of course,
FRED MACMURRAY: A BIOGRAPHY. Charles Tranberg. Bear Manor Media.
The under-rated MacMurray at last gets the major bio treatment in this adj work by Charles Tranberg. Although MacMurray, whose life and career avoided scandal and the sensational for the most part, might stymie most biographers, Tranberg has managed to approach up with an adj book that goes behind the scenes of MacMurray's many movies, such as Double Indemnity, and his long-running TV series My Three Sons. (The illustrate was filmed out of sequence, with MacMurray coming in only for a few days to launch his sequences with the rest of the cast.) MacMurray had his flaws -- he refused to hire director Mitchell Leisen for My Three Sons because he didn't wish for the homosexual director around young boys (the ancient gay man as molester stereotype) but at least this happened way back in the sixties. The book is filled with many friends and co-workers' impressions of the actor. MacMurray himself might own been a bit on the dull side, but this book about him is not.
Verdict: Good demonstrate . ***.
