To Pappy- Love Duke: John Wayne, John Ford and Homosexual Obsession - Kindle edition by Jensen, Richard Douglas. Tyrnauer and I both tried to find holes in his stories; there are none.

At one book event, the venue received a threatening phone call before I went onstage. William J. Mann is the author of several books on Hollywood and American history. These sources, who Schickel dismissed as minor, were the real families of my subjects, something most queer people instinctively understand—yet the Tracy biographer chose not to speak with any of them.

Moreover her relevations about Ford's mean and destructive beahviour towards Her if true is most so when she comes to the conculsion Ford Loved O'Hara. If only Twitter had been around when Kate came out! Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets.

Irish actress Maureen O'Hara says in her memoirs "'Tis Herself" she once walked into filmmaker John Ford's office and saw him kissing a man. The Hollywood dream factory was one of the most successful enterprises in American history.

Schickel was more than happy, however, to lend his support to a biography of Spencer Tracy that came out a few years later, since it hewed more closely to the old studio line. Scotty Bowers has the latter group panicked. The dream merchants made sure they did.

I defy anyone to watch the film, or read Teeman's revealing interviews with him, and not find Scotty sincere. This was the way Americans in the s and s wanted to see their heroes—and themselves. At its height, the industry of illusion cranked out hundreds of publicity releases a week, all dutifully reported in fan magazines and newspaper columns.

Why, after all, should it be a bad thing if Kate Hepburn loved women? I cannot understand how Maureen O'Hara who was a member of the John Ford Stock Company and his greatest leading lady would so late in her own Life divulge what no one else even suspected that John Ford was gay.

Despite the fact that my book Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn came out inthere are still those who insist I made up the parts about how Hepburn loved women as well as men, and how she turned her largely platonic friendship with a sexually conflicted Spencer Tracy into a romantic, heterosexual union for posterity.

Anyone who claims to be interested in that era of Hollywood but not interested in the way its biggest johns ford gay navigated sexuality is so full of it. His exclamation point says it all. For some people, tagging beloved figures as queer was a declaration of war; they came ready to fight.

So potent was this effort that even today, those illusions endure. Trolls on Amazon kept my editor busy defending my five years of intensive research.

Got a tip? My Wikipedia page was hacked and I was called a liar. Scotty seems congenitally unable to lie. Now what would such evidence look like? No amount of research was enough for them.
