Monty Woolley was gay

The original poster found some information about this actor that he found interesting and wanted to share it with the rest of us. Were you forced into this thread by somebody??

The original poster beat out a million other sperm. I find that amazing.

Monty Woolley was great. He was an absolute kick in ' The Man Who Came to Dinner '.

"He was friends with Cole Porter." That makes him gay?

[–] srklondie 9 years ago

Do I sound like I care whether he was gay or not? As long as he wasn't a pedophile, I couldn't care less what he did offscreen. I find him very entertaining, and that's all that matters.

I have 8 or 10 gay friends, but none of them arouse me. Sorry to disappoint you.

And I'm straight. So?? Not sure why it's relevant. He's a great actor.

I don't think this person meant anything by it by bringing up about Monty Woolley being gay. After reading about the actor I was quite surprised. I guess because he was an older, distinguished looking man I could not picture him being gay. I do agree that he gave a very good performance in this movie which is one of my favorite old movies.
