Gavin Lambert and Paul Bowles -- two of Tennessee Williams' most trusted friends.
>>> MY CONFESSION IS BELOW and will begin in >>> YELLOW ON RED -- so if you want to skip to it, that is how you will find it. It's just that I found a couple of things too interesting to me to not comment first.
1. I just find it infinitely funny (but NOT), that Gavin, above, was who told me and Tennessee Williams the info he got DIRECTLY from the panicked Natalie Wood a week or so before her murder, that she had discovered that her husband, Robert Wagner, and Christopher Walken were having a torrid homosexual affair -- and that if they found out she knew, she was CERTAIN they would murder her.
I gave EVERYTHING I knew to Los Angeles detectives in several phone calls over the last three years -- after FIRST contacting Natalie's family's attorneys, who using it (and more -- like the boat captains RECANTING of his original story), to re-open the case. NO PUBLIC MENTION has been made of this affair, and until it IS brought forward publicly, I expect the case will CONTINUE to be "unresolved".
Other facts of interest include that of ALL of Tennessee Williams' friends who claimed they had paid Dallas Cowboy football team players for sex, only Gavin had named names (all of which I've forgotten). Gavin wrote the screenplay for the original film of THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE, which my father, William Scott Kenan, told me MANY times was his favorite film of all time -- partly WHY he was so pleased when I got the job as Tennessee's assistant.
Dad had been a gay gigolo of some note in San Francisco (and his nickname at New Hanover High where he graduated in Wilmington, NC was "Middle-Leg", a fact Dad told me many times over the years -- due to his HUGE endowment, I'm assuming), before my mother, Ruth Anne (Meyer) Kenan, blackmailed Dad into marriage and conversion to Catholicism, a religion -- pretty much with all the others -- that Dad always privately scorned (at least to me).
Gavin ALSO wrote the screenplay for the re-make of SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH for TV that Elizabeth Taylor FINALLY (after TW's death), got permission to do, after Tennessee turned Zev Buffman's request DOWN in Milton Goldman's office at ICM, and against ALL others' opinions as well for Taylor to revive it on stage. Tom thought she was then simply too old for the role, but she proved him wrong (the style of the TV movie is VERY smarmy, as was the TV Drama style of the day).
This Buffman-Williams confrontation during my first trip to NYC with Tennessee is reported in my book: http://www.amazon.com/WALKING-ON-GLASS-TENNESSEE-ebook/dp/B0053480S2 .

2. I'm supposed to be RETIRED now, so I'll skip commenting on the DEMISE of "Christendom" which is WELL IN PROGRESS, whether the Evangelical "virgin" Tim Tebow camp, the Papist pedophiles (MARK MY WORDS!!!: The Boy Scouts will EVENTUALLY be found to harbor a FAR HIGHER PERCENTAGE of PEDOPHILES!!! ), or the American Mainstream Protestants so GUILTY of genocide of Native Americans (Hitler's PRIMARY inspiration), who continue to support the WHITE SUPREMACY of today's Republican Party.
Tim Tebow LOVES flashing HOT PIT (which EXCITES males, but not most females)!!!
I trust all KNOW from reading this blog that not only have I pledged MUCH of my future income to Catholic Charities (because of their effectiveness an that it comes from the TRUE "Sacred Heart of Jesus"), but I support ALL the fine people who take the BEST from their religions and lead a life recommended by "Jesus" and all the other fine Prophets of ALL religions.
What has taken the United States RIGHT TO HELL is the REFUSAL of good-hearted people in these religions to RECONCILE the hate endemic to religions, so allowed religious LEADERS in conjunction with NAZI/Republicans and blackmailed usually FAG Democrats to DOMINATE AMERICA.
Cleaning up at THIS ADVANCED POINT is a BITCH, as we have ALL learned, regardless our political or spiritual beliefs.

LOL!!!
The reason this is so funny is that I (of course) read David Kopay's book http://www.amazon.com/David-Kopay-Story-Extraordinary-Self-Revelation/dp/0877951454/ref=la_B001K8Q1SQ_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361964479&sr=1-1 when it was first published in 1977. It includes accounts of homosexual encounters with other teammates as well as drunken gay orgies with them (if I'm remembering correctly).
In my blog I have told the story of how the entire basketball team at Whetstone High School, Columbus, OH, had been caught by coach Jim Farrell in a homosexual orgie in the school shower during the 1967 - 68 season, the year before we moved to Columbus, and in my political blog I have told the story of how Tennessee, Gavin Lambert, and other prominent gays sometimes reminisced about how previous to about 1965, the players of the Dallas Cowboys had been NOTORIOUS for being available for SEXUAL RENT by Gavin, specifically, and others. Gavin is the only one whose name I remember who claimed to have actually rented Dallas Cowboys for sex.
Please remember until the late 1960s, most professional athletes in the USA got paid what was equivalent to the pay of corporate mid-managers, an amount far LESS (in real dollars, even), than mid-managers are paid today. "Christian" Republican types got SO INCENSED, they invented the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders to promost their "Christian" sex-allure/worship IDEAL -- and those cheerleaders for DECADES were used as the HIGHEST EXAMPLE of good old-fashioned heterosexual Christian WOMANHOOD, and the Christians and their ministers who didn't COMLETELY buy this STOOD SILENT!!!
