Great at putting wealthy Catholic men on guilt trips and pressuring them to give 'gifts' of money to the church in exchange for 'penance'. Sheen had a tv show that was very popular and that made Spellman very envious, to the point that he had Sheen moved to a diocese that had no TV production facilities. Hence, no more Sheen on TV. In the Catholic church it is discretion that rules. Fuck and sin all you want, just keep it discreet or ELSE. -RjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984317470266050424.post-46568404954360249682023-01-03T12:03:15.099-05:002023-01-03T12:03:15.099-05:00..nearly all goodlooking men in Hollywood are GAY......nearly all goodlooking men in Hollywood are GAY.

This is how Hollywood has always operated. First you have the Hollywood studio's Metro Goldwyn Meyer. RKO, etc. All of the studio's were staffed by gay talent scouts, gay producers,gay directors (John Ford), gay studio executive's. Second, you had very young and impressionable men and women like John Wayne, Marlon Brando, Steve Mcqueen, Carey Grant, Randolph Scott, Montgomery Clift, Ronald Reagan etc, who were in their teens and early twentues when they entered Hollywood studio's and they had to run the gay gauntlet of gay studio executives, so John Wayne was getting blow jobs from men and Montgomery Clift and the rest of the Hollywood stars were giving and taki it up the ass by other men hecause it was the only way to become a big movie star in Hollywood in the 1930s 40s 50s and 60s. Read gay Hollywood actor Scotty Bowers book called Full Service. Tom Tryon Harvey Presnell. James Caan Paul Newman.

Director Otto Preminger verbally abused, humiliated and almost destroyed Tom's identity. Preminger actually had a breakdown, which he never fully recovered from. It was this that may have made Tyron leave film completely. When i read this, my theory is that Preminger was a closet case and was attractedd to Tyron then bullied him. which of course, happens with most closeted men. we all know that. Thank God he moved on and made a better life for himself. I have watched the film, The Other, maybe five times now. If you love older movies, appreciatee drama/tragedy meets horror films...you NEED TO SEE THIS FILM. the actors are superb. the boys who play the twin brothers are phenomenal (keep in mind..the boys are actual twin brothers...found from a determined casting agent who went to different schools to find twins). Tyron had a very true gift. It seems you can find on you tube...the Return of Harvest House...the copy isnot good. but Bette Davis is amazing. Tyron's life is another that teaches gay men to fight, no matter what to hold on...it will get better..you are not alone. That is what I hope for. We need to tell Tyron's story to so many gays from the younger generation. I wouold have loved to have known his story. cinemarocks.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068980827220674196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984317470266050424.post-13097516235329801652016-08-10T23:29:02.265-04:002016-08-10T23:29:02.265-04:00I began reading Thomas Tryon at age 12.

The year before, age 11, my reading list included The Great Gatsby and Helter Skelter. Back to Tryon. I was in Mrs. Libby's sewing class, my assignment complete, when I picked up The Other. Ada and Niles are in the cemeteryear, where Ada is forced to make her beloved grandson see the truth. My shock at this revelaction was so great I dropped my book. Brilliant use of sunspense.<br />I was never able to catch the movie's tv re-runs, so waited years to see. Although Tryon was not happy with the final pŕint, I, the amateur hold the film in highest regard. I feel it is the perfect realization of the novel.jennielucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924084321323165076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984317470266050424.post-16661188517034834392016-07-20T01:21:12.468-04:002016-07-20T01:21:12.468-04:00I liked Tom Tryon very much.

He said: "Hey, watch it" and I told him to: "Move your ass next time"...He laughed and so did I, and I never saw him again.<br />Oh, I did hear him say that he had just returned from Jamaica where he was a house guest in Noel Cowards "Firefly" home.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586694447244884132noreply@blogger.com
