Something tells me that Alan Ladd was gay or bi-!!
But I can not remember if I had read that in a book.
Or if someone who acted with him or worked there... or was it a journalist who wrote about Hollywood I knew when I lived in Los Angeles!!
He sure was handsome!! More information needed!!
Do you wonder like I do, why the photo of Alan Ladd was in that locker Sal had in that wonderful classic movie Rebel without a Cause??
Hugs!!

I mentioned a possible reason in my earlier post. Since Alan Ladd was best known for the character Shane in the movie of the same name (which had been released just two years before so he was probably at the height of his popularity) and in that film, Shane becomes a father figure to a fatherless boy but then ends up leaving the boy at the end. ("Shane! Come Back!") Sal's Plato could probably relate to that. Plus one of the themes of RWAC, as mentioned in the article I posted, can be seen as a search for the Father, so maybe Alan Ladd was a father figure in addition to being an object of desire. He also saw James Dean's Jimmy Stark as a father figure and was also attracted to him sexually, which is not unusual.
Artiste:
I love that clip, Gary!! Thanks!!
I did too think that Top Gun was gay in some or many ways!! They sure are handsome dudes then!!
I always felt that Cruise was gay... or could be!! Then!! At least, Cruise is more wealthy because of gays viewing that film!!
Did you think that Cruise is then gay in Top Gun?
Hugs!!

That's a hysterical clip.
Yeah, I guess the volleyball should have given it away. Most straight guys I know prefer tackle. Hitting someone. ;D
Artiste:
Anyone found yet about that pic in that famous locker??
Hugs!

I think you are going to have to watch the movie, Artiste, and make a screen cap of the scene.
