Yesterday, Jrand was mentioning the late actor, Kevin Coughlin. Many years ago, I read a rather disturbing story in some magazine regarding Hollywood homophobia in the Sixties and Seventies. Part of the article talked about the making of the film THE GAY DECEIVERS, which when this article came out was not even available on video. There was supposedly, at the time, a meeting between Kevin Coughlin and some "un-named" Hollywood honcho; where Mr. Coughlin was basically told, that if he appered in that movie that he would "never work in this town again."
Although not completely true, THE GAY DECEIVERS did basically spell the end of Kevin Coughlin's rising star in Hollywood. Also, his death seven years later, by a hit-and-run driver was supposedly cloaked in mystery
Interesting!
