I never got why Judy Garland was/is a Gay Icon, because she played in The Wiz? Or what?

Probably because she went through a lifetime of abuse where straight men tried to make her conform to their vision of how she should be. Not to mention fabulous, tragic, and a fantastic singer.

Wanna know the only actress Bette Davis ever admired?:

Fellow movie star Bette Davis described the Garbo magic as instinctive: “her mastery over the machine was pure witchcraft. I cannot analyze this woman's acting. I only know that no one else so effectively worked in front of a camera.”

Second Queen Bette Davis worshipping The Real Queen of Hollywood...

Shaun Considine's Bette & Joan: The Divine Feud offers a thorough and well-researched history of their bitter rivalry and resepctive careers.
I think Bette is typically treated with a somewhat undue sense of reverence due to her superior talent, but this author offers a fairly balanced account; both Bette and Joan were horrible, awful, ****** characters. And that's why we love them.
Don't believe everything Christina and BD have written about their mothers.

Actually I was surprised too when I found out that she was one. From what I've read it was because of her role as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, yes. it was because of this that the iconic term "Friend of Dorothy" was coined referring to a homosexual person which was kind of used as a code back then in order for the gays to not be discriminated and deprived in what was such a primitive setting.
Dorothy's whole journey through Oz filled with colorful and turbulent adventure was also some sort of an allegory to how gay people struggled to come out.
Plus, she started a movement when she died in 1969. All the gays in New York flocked to the biggest gay bar in Manhattan to mourn for her death and this gathering was met with a police raid and the gays fought back which ended in a very violent event. This sparked the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for all gays and lesbians in the US.

I don't think they had a gay relationship, just really great friends who spent a lot of time together. Didn't they live in a bungalow together, which was notorious for the endless flow of women who cycled through?

Brando made the following comment about his sex life in an interview with Gary Carey, for his 1976 biography The Only Contender, "Homosexuality is so much in fashion it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me. But if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers, may they continue to do so. I find it amusing.

Ugh, why can't men in Hollywood be more like this today?
In general men back then were more manly. I don't mean in a just machismo sense necessarily, but they were just able to be braver, more upfront, and actual (for lack of a better word) men. I was born in the wrong damn time period.

“This is Judy Garland, Judy ****ing Garland. You bitch! You took what was rightfully mine. [Garland was also nominated for “Best Actress” for her work in A Star Is Born, and favored to win.] Tonight was my last chance for the Oscar. You’ll have many more chances in your future. This was it for me. I’ll never forgive you.” Or in other words, “What don’t you ****ing understand? You and me are done professionally.”

Was it also posted that Judy Garland was giving birth Oscar night and was surrounded by reporters and journalists expecting her to win? When she didn't, they all left and let her sit by herself for the rest of the night (excluding medical doctors/nurses).
So sad.

More modern, Robert Downey Jr. reportedly using an alias exposed insider info on Amanda Bynes and Hayden Panettiere, this is on Hayden:
Quote:
|
This former B list television actress who was on a really big hit network show just a couple of years ago now just seems to float mindlessly and flit between boyfriends. She comes from a broken home and abusive home. Her dad used to beat her and get into bed with her. Her mom just let it happen because she was being beaten herself and did not want to provoke. Well, now the actress who is still very young only seems to date boyfriends who are abusive and willing to hit her. Her last boyfriend (former A list athlete with B list name recognition) was so scared that he would kill her he broke up with her. Her new celebrity boyfriend does not punch nearly as hard but seems to love it. Probably getting out his anger because he is closeted.

I am a FORMER personal "friend" of a woman named Diana Jenkins. Doubt you know her, but she's the Rosetta Stone of every scandal and perversion from Hwood all over the globe. She's an Uber-wealthy divorcee whose hubby ran UK's Barclay's bank - and she ran the Arab investors for the bank! She's been running a high class call girl/party-girl ring for Arabs, Wall Street, DC, Royals, and Hollywood elites. She's also a MAJOR philanthropist, arts supporter, political donor, and social hostess to EVERYONE. Her best Hwood pals include Sean Penn, Clive Davis, Ari Emanuel, George Clooney, Cindy Crawford, and her "little pet" named Hayden. Diana is the connector of wealthy Arabs and Asians and Athletes with Hwood actresses/models. She also is a sick and twisted bitch. When Hayden and her own Mommy went on the outs, Diana Jenkins took that place in her life, by Hayden's choice.
Leslie P. is not just a poor victim in this trainwreck. Trust me. She's at LEAST 50% responsible (if not more) for encouraging, enabling, and at times even participating in her hubby's twisted ****ing life. Leslie's kinks cross the line into depravity, illegality, and inhuman sickness. As in: Ryan ONeal, John Phillips, Tish Cyrus, and Dan Schnieder territory. (Far worse than Pimpa Joe Simpson!)
She's not just had chances to stop it or walk away with the kids, but she elected to not protect her kids - and give in to the hedonistic sickness in her bedroom (all for her own greed). You think Dina Lohan is bad?
Leslie's guilt is compounded by trying to save her daughter's "IMAGE" (so as not affect her earning potential); and hoovering her own mountain of drugs, booze, fame, and ****ing (of everything with legs)...Leslie IS as bad as her hubby - maybe worse because she KNEW it was wrong but didn't stop it and at times fueling it.
It's easy to argue that Hayden is forever a victim which drives her own insane life choices - and I'm not a psychologist - but she has taken it further into becoming a willing perpetuator of it (and saying she loves it). Not just the physical and mental violence she enjoys, but her insatiable appetite for the most bizarre **** she can indulge in to "top" herself. She was offered help by some who genuinely cared for her and worried for her. She mocked them and tore off on her own streak. Now? She craves it and considers nothing taboo. NOTHING! Just ask Mario Lopez (right Enty?).

All this tea is reading like a Soap Opera too be honest. I wonder if this is where the inspiration for the genre began?
