[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 266658, member: 73"] Susan spent a lot of time with fellow lesbians and gay actors, so they became a little family. People like Ian Buchanan and his partner, Joanna Johnson, Stanley Kamel etc etc. Plus her own girlfriend(s) throughout the years. But as you said, the press would never write about it. Not like how they speculate today in the tabloids. So while it's more acceptable to be out today, it's also a climate where you can hardly keep anything private anymore. Being in showbiz makes you a target in a way that would be totally unacceptable in other professions. How horrible wouldn't it be if you had paparazzis around you and journalists wanting to know and publish everything about you? Oh well, there are still many famous people inside the closet. Some only in media, some in all aspects of life. As much as we celebrate people when they come out, too many producers and directors still don't like hiring gay people in straight romantical roles. But it's ok to hire straight people in gay roles. [/QUOTE]
