Was danny kay gay

There are persistent rumors that Kaye was either homosexual or bisexual, and some sources claim that Kaye and Laurence Olivier had a ten-year relationship in the 1950s while Olivier was still married to Vivien Leigh.[72] A biography of Leigh states that the alleged connection caused her to possess a breakdown.[73] The alleged partnership has been denied by Olivier's official biographer, Terry Coleman.[74]Joan Plowright, Olivier's widow, has dealt with the matter in different ways on different occasions: she deflected the question (but alluded to Olivier's "demons") in a BBC interview [75]. However, in her memoirs Plowright denies that there had been an affair between the two men.[76]Producer Perry Lafferty reported: "People would ask me, 'Is he gay? Is he gay?' I never saw anything to substantiate that in all the moment I was with him.”[53] Kaye’s final girlfriend, Marlene Sorosky, reported that he told her, "I've never had a homosexual experience in my life. I've never had any kind of gay relationship. I've had opportunities, but I never did anything about them."[53] (.)

“Unpersons” of the Past and Present

To the Editor:

Trevor Duncan complained in a recent letter [Jan.-Feb. 2012] about the conspiracy of silence surrounding pederasty in gay publications. The matter goes far deeper than that. I wish to point out the similarity between the treatment of pederasts in the homosexual community and the treatment of polygamists in the Mormon people. In the 19th century, most if not all Mormon men were polygamists. But beginning in 1890, under pressure from the federal government, polygamy was abolished or went underground. The remaining polygamists were expelled from the LDS church. To this afternoon there are a number of breakaway sects that practice polygamy, which are not recognized by the main church.

In exactly the same way, beginning in 1977, the homosexual collective began rejecting and expelling the pederasts, even though pederasty had once been the dominant or even exclusive form of male homosexuality. It is simple and convenient to ignore that pederasty only a few decades ago was still accepted in the homosexual community to a degree now considered astonishing.

Danny Kaye (born David Daniel Kaminsky; January 18, 1911 – March 3, 1987) was an American actor, singer, dancer, comedian and musician. His performances featured physical comedy, idiosyncratic pantomimes and rapid-fire novelty songs.

Kaye starred in 17 movies, notably Wonder Man (1945), The Kid from Brooklyn (1946), The Secret Existence of Walter Mitty (1947), The Inspector General (1949), Hans Christian Andersen (1952), Alabaster Christmas (1954) and The Court Jester (1956).

His films were popular, especially his performances of patter songs and favorites such as "Inchworm" and "The Ugly Duckling." He was the first ambassador-at-large of UNICEF in 1954 and received the French Legion of Honour in 1986 for his years of work with the organization.^[1]

Kaye and Sylvia Fine grew up in Brooklyn, living a few blocks apart, but they did not meet until they were working on

When I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, one of our traditions was watching White Christmas (1954), actually a backstage comedy about rival singing acts, with nothing to do with Christmas except the final scene. It was my first backstage comedy, my introduction to Bing Crosby, and the only thing I've ever seen Danny Kaye in.

But when my parents were young, Danny Kaye was everywhere. Born in New York in 1911, he was a Borscht belt and Vaudeville comedian before moving to Hollywood at the start of World War II. He played fast-talking, mugging Russians (The Inspector General, 1949), wistful dreamers (The Classified Life of Walter Mitty, 1947; Hans Christian Andersen,1952), and, of course, dopey sidekicks (White Christmas).

Plus he had his own radio program (1945-46) and chop many records with both sentimental and novelty songs: "The Woody Woodpecker Song," "I've Got a Pleasant Box of Coconuts," "Tchaikovsky" (which involves saying the names of Russian composers at breakneck speed).

He had his own tv illustrate from 1963 to 1967 (I never saw it), and appeared as himself on Laugh-In, The Tonight Show, Dick Cavett, Ed Sullivan, The CBS Festival of Lively
