Legendary actor Marlon Brando and comedian Wally Cox had a friendship that lasted beyond death. The two met each other long before they were famous when they were both 9-year-old boys growing up in Evanston, Illinois, according to the Los Angeles Times. Marlon Brando and Wally Cox were unlikely friends. According to The Los Angeles Times, early into their childhood friendship, Brando tied Cox to a tree and left him there on his own.

Cox married three times—to Marilyn Gennaro, Milagros Tirado, and Patricia Tiernan.

Wally Cox was a beloved

He was survived by his third wife and his two children. [2] Cox and Brando remained close friends throughout Cox's life, and Brando appeared unannounced at Cox's wake.

Brando is also reported to have kept Cox's ashes in his bedroom and conversed with them. Was Wally Cox gay? Wally Cox has never been gay, a man who went through three marriages to the opposite sex in his lifetime cannot be classified as gay. It seems the gay rumors were sparked by his close bond with Brando, who told a journalist that had he been a woman he would have married Walley and that they would have lived happily ever after.

Some friends and family of both men insist Brando's relationship with Cox was platonic. Regardless, their bond offers a different perspective on Brando, one of the world's most famous, yet little.

For the past few months, I have been talking about Gay Icons during the early years of Hollywood. The majority of these people whom I have discussed have been women. So for this article, I decided to focus on the men of early Hollywood. These men exemplified strength and self-confidence which we see in lesbian women mostly what has been characterized by dyke women.

I find fascinating is that two of these men were closeted homosexuals or classified as bisexual. Who are they? Get ready to chuckle: James Dean and Marlon Brando. James Dean was very private about his personal life, including his sexuality, and his ambivalence has made him be considered an icon. We may never know the truth, but we do know that during a short time on earth, he has been catapulted him to Icon status.

Marlon Brando has been classified as one of the most influential and greatest actors of our time, with a career that spanned over 60 years, winning two Academy Awards for On The Waterfront and The Godfather Marlon left us in , but his contributions to the cinema are still revered around the globe. Even though he was married three times, and was the father of 11 children three adopted , his sexuality has always been in question, partly due to his own words.

In , he told a French journalist the following:. Like a large number of men , I, too, have had homosexual experiences, and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me. But if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers, may they continue to do so. I find it amusing. Nevertheless, when Marlon died, his ashes and the remains of Wally Cox were scattered at sea together.

One of the men that Marlon Brando allegedly had a steamy affair with was Laurence Olivier , and in , Quincy Jones stated that Marlon also had a brief fling with comedian Richard Pryor to which his daughter Rain Pryor publicly denied. Laurence Olivier, a Shakespearean actor, 4-time Oscar winner, and also considered one of the most prolific actors in Hollywood, was bisexual and had a long-term affair with Danny Kaye.

Their relationship had been so intense that many have claimed they would have married, had it been allowed. Probably the most recognizable gay actor is the late Rock Hudson. When a magazine in threatened to publish an expose on his secret life, his agent Henry Wilson duped his secretary into marrying Rock Hudson, ending in divorce three years later. Rock became the first recognized celebrity to have the disease, becoming the face of AIDS.
