| He did mentioned her, and they did appear together at times (I say this from what I read about the marriage, not from personal recollection) but I also think, as I said above, that we underestimate the assumption of "regularity" that most people make about people. (There are of course tons of film stars [and politicians, etc] who were just assumed to be straight by the general population, even though "we" knew better.) Regarding those latter years, I think his health was a big factor in his seeming "reclusiveness." I would like to think that he was suffering in the shame that he had brought upon himself but I suspect that's wishful thinking. |
