Mr.X Blind Item - Old Hollywood

This closeted permanent A+list Broadway actor also managed to nab an Oscar nomination and an Emmy Award to go with his Tony Awards. Did I mention his closeted wife to whom he was married for over five decades also had an Oscar nomination and an Emmy win?

Paul Newman is the only one I can think of with a decades long marriage

Ferris Bueller.

No Tony

Only thing is Joanne Woodward won an Oscar for the Three Faces of Eve. Otherwise, it fits.

Hume Cronyn/Jessica Tandy

Alec Guinness

Or John Gielgud. He and Guinness were both caught "cruising" among other acts back in the day.

Simon said...

Oh, this is an excellent guess!

Didn't Tandy win an Oscar for Driving Miss Daisy? Unless Enty is trying to throw us off the scent.

GoTrollUrSelf said...

Guinness & Gielgud not married to award-winning actresses.

GoTrollUrSelf said...

Yes...you never know with Enty. It could be a case of "Sure she won, because she was NOMINATED" Ha!

Soapy said...

Thx Go troll

Danny Kaye and Sylvia Fine?

Big Noise From Winnetka said...

Also, the blind said "wins" -- from what I see, Hume only won one Tony (but a buttload of Emmys).

Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee

Elsa Lanchester and Charles Laughton

Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne

Worked for them, apparently. Good for them.

Was Laurence Olivier gay?

conor's back door man said...

All British/Irish actors from his time were gay. All of them.

SindlerColl said...

Newman was not a Broadway Actor and he has multiple AA nominations and a win.
Now Cronyn would fit there.

Shiba said...

Lunt/Fontanne +1

conor's back door man said...

The late, great song and dance man, Robert Preston?

Jess Sayin' said...

Both nominated for Oscars in "The Guardsman" (1931), both won Emmys for TV Movie/Special for "The Magnificent Yankee" in 1965. Both got honorary Tonys in 1970; Lunt had won one each for acting and directing before that.

55 years' worth of marriage and it was a double-beard?? That's impressive. Taylor Swift/Taylor Lautner couldn't even keep up the BS until "Valentine's Day" premiered, by way of contrast.

Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright

All of the gay old actors were bearded up for life. Just like some of your dear old grandfather's and grandmother's. Gay people would get married to each other. Produce kids and live sexless marriages. This still happens frequently in China. When people have no other options.
