so today in film class my professor wandered from the topic of Macbeth to a discussion of Laurence Olivier’s sexuality and his relationship with Danny Kaye. I’d already heard what he told us, but I hadn’t seen this particular photo. (Sid Field is on the right.)
for the record, I’ve always thought Danny Kaye was good-looking. The wackiness takes precedence in most people’s minds, but he was cute back in the day.

The relationship that it’s been revealed probably never happened and has been used by biographers such as Donald Spoto to try and justify Vivien Leigh’s erratic behavior since he didn’t believe she was actually mentally ill? Oh.

    Sorry for going off on a tangent there. This specific incident is something I’ve been doing a lot of in-depth research...

    from the writing I’ve seen on your tumblr and also in various links, you evidently know way, way more than I do about...
