Assignment 4

Culture.
I would like to write about the film industry from the 1920s through the 1960s and the homosexuality stigma. I have been reading a biography on Cary Grant and found to my surprise that he was bisexual. The film industry and actors hid their sexuality from society to keep their image of the masculine leading man. I did research last night and found many more actors who were in fact gay or bisexual and were either outed by others or themselves years later. Some of these actors include Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson, George Chamberlin, Ian McKellen, Eroll Flynn and James Dean.
