Hurd Hatfield; was he supposed to be representing a 'type'?

See his performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray and then make up your own mind...

Yes, I know 'Dorian Gray' but I was wondering if the Hatfield character was intended as a predatory 'homosexual'.

...he did not come off to me that way...in either Mickey One or Dorian Gray, if that answers your question, from my perspective.

I thought Hurd Hatfield's character evoked Hugh Hefner and Phil Spector, and the "type" of a somewhat weasel-y show-biz "starmaker."

Incidentally, Hatfield was bisexual in real-life.
