Posts from DukePilgrim in thread „Richard Boone“

I think a lot of Hollywood past & present fall into the Errol Flynn category in that they would copulate with anything and any particular orientation doesnt come into it. More a case of too much power and money with very little morals.

I think the actor may be Tyrone Power as she was preparing for The Long Gray Line at that time.

Apart from being married three times with at least one child. Doing well for a gay man!!

Anyway to save you the bother of buying Maureen's book.

Here is the story. Ford asked Maureen to bring him sketches of her costumes for movie. to his office When she walked in she found Ford and mystery man. Ford had his arms round him and kissed him in front of her at which point she dropped everything and ran out
freaked out.

Her exact description is :-

Ford was with one of the most famous leading men in the picture business

cant really imagine that description being labelled to Richard Boone

Later the actor involved approached her and said "Why didnt you tell me Ford was a homosexual.

Considering no other evidence has really come to light about Ford's sexuality its sounds more like Ford was playing a mind game or twisted joke on her that she hasnt really
got the point yet or decided to get her own revenge by printing her encounter 50 years ago.

The fact that she has never stated the actor's name in any interview sounds like she isnt really sure whether it was true or a wind up and wants to avoid any legal complications
