Mr.X Blind Item - Old Hollywood

This closeted permanent A+list Broadway actor also managed to nab an Oscar nomination and an Emmy Award to go with his Tony Awards. Did I mention his closeted wife to whom he was married for over five decades also had an Oscar nomination and an Emmy win?

    Paul Newman is the only one I can think of with a decades long marriage

    Only thing is Joanne Woodward won an Oscar for the Three Faces of Eve. Otherwise, it fits.

    Or John Gielgud. He and Guinness were both caught "cruising" among other acts back in the day.

    Didn't Tandy win an Oscar for Driving Miss Daisy? Unless Enty is trying to throw us off the scent.

    Yes...you never know with Enty. It could be a case of "Sure she won, because she was NOMINATED" Ha!

    Also, the blind said "wins" -- from what I see, Hume only won one Tony (but a buttload of Emmys).

    All British/Irish actors from his time were gay. All of them.

    Newman was not a Broadway Actor and he has multiple AA nominations and a win.
    Now Cronyn would fit there.

    Both nominated for Oscars in "The Guardsman" (1931), both won Emmys for TV Movie/Special for "The Magnificent Yankee" in 1965. Both got honorary Tonys in 1970; Lunt had won one each for acting and directing before that.

    55 years' worth of marriage and it was a double-beard?? That's impressive. Taylor Swift/Taylor Lautner couldn't even keep up the BS until "Valentine's Day" premiered, by way of contrast.

    All of the gay old actors were bearded up for life. Just like some of your dear old grandfather's and grandmother's. Gay people would get married to each other. Produce kids and live sexless marriages. This still happens frequently in China. When people have no other options.
