Here's an interesting article about Henry Willson from the time that a book came out about him a few years ago. The book was called "The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson":

Debbie Reynolds, who used to hang out with Tab Hunter at the New Follies Burlesque, tells Hofler,

Oh sure, I dated all the boys who were homosexual,
because I liked them better. They weren't fresh.
They were fun. They were sweet. They didn't come on
to me. All the straight guys were coming on to me.
And I couldn't stand that. I was seventeen. I was a
virgin. I didn't want hands all over me.

Stepping deeper into conscious bearding, Natalie Wood and Margaret O'Brien used to play a "game of trying to figure out which of their dates had slept with Henry."

Too seasoned a Hollywood observer to construct any nostalgic valentine, Hofler instead draws us into this cut-throat business of users, where sexual pleasure is given and taken as a consequence of power. One major Hollywood power broker, Lew Wasserman, said, "When I became a talent agent for MCA, the word ‘agent' was synonymous with ‘pimp'." According to the author, Henry "often advised his clients to sleep with an executive or influential director" and not only gay clients. One reporter observed, "It was amazing what some heterosexual men would do to get a career in Hollywood. Many thought nothing of sleeping with another man, if it got them a job."
The Fairy Godfather of Hollywood: 'He won't be gay when I get through with him!'

Well, I certainly won't speak for anyone else, but I don't mind saying that I've had 'relations' with many men who self-identified as straight.

What's that old saying? Oh, yes - "The only difference between a straight man and a gay man is a six-pack."

But I don't get too worked up over that, as 'straight' men in the past have put their 'business' in such interesting places as farm animals and knots in trees.
