The Seductress

[Blind Gossip] This classic actress was a more than just a movie star. She was an icon.

In true movie star fashion, her life was filled with as much drama as her roles. Fans were treated to a steady diet of marriages, divorces, affairs, and other scandals.

There is one notable affair that was never covered by the press and that she never talked about.

You are going to be the first to hear about it.

Our gorgeous gal was married at the time. One night, her husband was away and she was having a little gathering at home with some friends and associates. They were watching an awards show on TV (the actress was not nominated that year) and drinking and talking.

Our actress had a few drinks. Maybe a few drinks too many.

As one of her male guests was leaving, she asked him to stay with her a little longer.

She had known him for years, and knew that he was gay. She was clearly drunk and started talking baby talk to him. He was both amused and a little frightened at the same time.

Against my better judgment, I stayed. She was getting sloppy and my patience factor was diminishing, especially with the baby talk. She said, “You’re such a great friend to me, darling. You love me for me. You do. You love me for me.”

Suddenly we were kissing. I knew she was a friend and that the alcohol compromised her. I also knew that I was feeling severe discomfort at what was transpiring — and at what would inevitably transpire.

You know what happened next. Seduction. Sex.

They had been friends for years. She knew that he was gay and had never been with a woman before. So, why did she do this?

I think I was an actor fulfilling a critical role in her needed angst for perpetual love and adoration. I had performed, not as a victim, but as a cherished friend. I feel no regret today, only a profound emptiness that’s difficult to comprehend.

Sadly, their friendship was over after this.

It changed our relationship forever. I kissed her goodnight and left in shock and embarrassment. This was my first and only sexual experience with a woman.

I had no desire for this to happen. But I think for her it was like
a challenge. She truly cared for me, but unfortunately, I did not feel
for her in a sexual way. I didn’t talk to her for a long time after that, although
I still cared for her. The sexual encounter had destroyed our friendship.

The man in this story is not a household name, but he is a creative type well-known around Hollywood. He does not try to portray himself as a victim. Just a gay man who lost his virginity –  and a valued friendship – when one of the most famous movie stars in the world seduced him.

He has a lot of interesting stories about celebrities… so don’t be surprised if he comes out with a tell-all memoir!

Note: The actress is not Lauren Bacall.

    Baby talk makes me think Elizabeth Taylor. She’s the only icon I can picture seducing a man this way and she was known to have many gay friends. No clue as to who the young gay man was.

  3. ChattyCat says

    ‘Baby talk’ makes me think: Marilyn Munro. It annoys me so much I can’t watch her movies. And that breathy baby talk ‘happy birthday mr president’ is embarressing.

    Why did she do this? Because she hated being alone, perhaps?

  4. aaapants says

    Elizabeth Taylor

    The baby talk sounds like someone abused her when she was young. Which would explain a lot.

  5. spoofbyrd says

    Elisabeth Taylor and at first I thought Montgomery Clift but it said not well known and implies still alive. Monty gone long time ago but I will still keep Liz as the guess. People do the amateur psychology with this but the truth is horniness is the most powerful drug of all and it can trump monogamy at the right time and right place and set of circumstances .

  6. SilentStar says

    I think it’s someone a generation younger than Joan Crawford, as the blind sounds like he’s still actively working in Hollywood. Joan’s peers would be dead by now.

    I also don’t think it fits Joan’s character. I’m leaning more towards Liz, but the baby talk clue fits Marilyn too.

    Not many other iconic actresses of that time.

  12. Kellikopter says

    If not Joan, then I guess Elizabeth Taylor. I think Liz just genuinely loved men and she experienced a lot of unhappiness in her marriages, so maybe she was looking for love somewhere else.

  13. Kellikopter says

    Joan Collins (because of the related blind)? Perhaps she wanted validation that she still had “it” when she started losing roles to other actresses. Or maybe she wanted a man she wouldn’t have to compete with other women for.

  14. puppybears says

    The “baby talk” thing makes me think of Marilyn Monroe.. also, the picture is blonde.

  15. RiverJude7 says

    Judy Garland
    She was known for falling in love with homosexual men because her father was one.

  16. Baileygirl says

    I am thinking it is Liz Taylor. I am not sure Marilyn was ever nominated for any acting awards but Liz won two Oscars. Liz had a lot of gay friends so more likely her. It had to have happened when she was in her physical prime to be able to seduce a man so we are talking many years ago. Probably a younger man if he is still around to perhaps write a book about it.

  17. CSLear says

    Liz Taylor
    clues: “an icon”, “a steady diet of marriages, divorces, affairs, and other scandals”

  20. SueCitySue says

    I think this is Elizabeth Taylor. She was friends with many gay Hollywood figures—Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson, and I’m sure, many who worked behind the scenes. She was very active and involved in AIDS causes, one of the FIRST, if not THE first, to be vocal and caring.

    I have no idea why she would do this; perhaps she didn’t know how it would affect the person telling the story, and I’m sure alcohol lowered her inhibitions and allowed her to instigate the act.

  24. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Elizabeth Taylor – a classic actress, a movie star and an icon. Can’t think of anyone else who would fit all 3 categories.

    Why? Because she could.

  25. Spyci Paprika says

    Liz Taylor
    I don’t Marilyn Monroe having many gay friends as I picture Liz.

  27. missgee66 says

    I’ll guess Liz Taylor. I think she liked a ‘challenge’ and thought every man would fall in love with her (to be fair most did!)

  29. Slenderman66 says

    Elizabeth Taylor. Why she did it? Maybe because there are straight women who believe being able to seduce a gay man proves of how utterly irressitible they are.

  33. The Big D says

    This sounds like Elizabeth Taylor to me-I always found her to be vulgar and disgusting so if this is her it would not surprise ma at all.

    • ChattyCat says

      Same. Elizabeth always seemed self-absorbed to me. And I don’t think she was as beautiful as everyone keeps saying she is.

  37. aaaDML says

    For some reason I am getting Marilyn Monroe vibes. She had several marriages, affairs and was known to baby talk. She was also insecure.

  41. cbbad1515 says

    Elizabeth Taylor. She needed to be adored. I read about a similar relationship she had with Montgomery Clift

    • TeacherKat says

      I know Montgomery Clift was gay, but man. They were smoldering together on screen. I think they truly loved each other, and if he hadn’t been gay (not that there is anything wrong with that!! ) they would have been a couple for the ages. Montgomery was purported to have told Elizabeth Taylor that she was the only woman he ever loved.

  43. NoseyNana2008 says

    Elizabeth Taylor
    Why did she do it? A horrible need to prove she was so desirable that even a gay man couldn’t resist her womanly charms?
    I don’t understand ant fan of a celebrity caring whether or not they’re gay. Gay or straight, you don’t stand a chance of being with them so who cares. You’re a fan of their talent, you don’t really know that…

  49. parkland45 says

    Elizabeth Taylor. No idea why. Maybe she thought sex with her would “straighten” him out. People thought that way back in the day. So she ruined a good friendship.

  58. traherne says

    Hard to say, but multiple marriages make me think of Liz Taylor, Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe and Ingrid Bergman. Maybe Lana Turner? I doubt many people would call the great Bette Davis gorgeous, so she’s out, and Kate Hepburn was never married.

  59. amagod121 says

    Gonna guess Liz Taylor here as she was an icon, one of most famous actresses of all time, married and divorced numerous times, etc.

    Optional: No idea.

  62. aaakpark says

    The iconic Marilyn Monroe.
    Despite her beauty and charm, she was deeply insecure and needed constant support/ reassurance.

  64. Lindasu says

    At first I thought Elizabeth Taylor; but she’s not the baby talk type. But this is Marilyn Monroe. She was extremely needy, and always had to have men who desired her for her, and not the image of MM.

    • charlene2345 says

      It’s not Marilyn. She was never nominated for any major acting award and there is this clue:

      “They were watching an awards show on TV (the actress was not nominated that year) and drinking and talking.”

      It’s Liz Taylor, who was known for having many friendships with men who were either gay or bisexual- Roddy McDowell, Rock Hudson, and Montgomery Clift being a few.

    • butwhatever says

      I wouldn’t have said Liz Taylor was known for affairs, though, just marriages and divorces….hmmm….looking it up, Marilyn was nominated for 2 Golden Globes and won one. I think it still could be her.

  66. GooglyMoogly says

    elizabeth taylor

    why did she do it? she was drunk, and he was a conquest.

    she probably didnt even remember it in the morning…

    • omgimbackagain says

      Liz Taylor (hit enter too quickly)

      She probably seduced him to prove she was so irresistible that even a gay man who had no interest in women would go for her.

  71. aaaDacia says

    Zsa zsa gabor. No idea on the man. There’s a biography out about her now. Her and her sisters ava and magda lived a wild life

  73. llabine1 says

    This is purely a guess but it sounds like Elizabeth Taylor…I think she did it because was lonely …her last husband Larry Fortensky was gone most of the time…

  74. Joelle Van Dyne says

    First lines I was sure it was Grace Kelly but she stop acting when she got married.
    Pretty sure it was Marilyn.

  80. dagnabbit11 says

    I’ll guess Joan Crawford

    [Optional] Why do you think she did this?
    She wanted the him and wanted to feed her ego that told her she was so beautiful and desirable she could have any man, even a gay man. Which, apparently she did, despite the consequences.

    • kellyp says

      I think Elizabeth Taylor too. I think the man though was Tennessee Williams. He fits because he wasn’t an actor but was a creative guy in the movies. And very gay.

      Classic narcissist but how could she not be growing up in Hollywood?
