Description:
Part social history and part expose, this revealing, entertaining, and provocative book explores the lives and careers of some of the silver screen's foremost gays and lesbians and the effect of their high-profile lifestyles on the general public. From Charles Laughton and Greta Garbo to Nathan Lane and Ellen DeGeneris, David Ehrenstein traces the gradual transformation of Hollywood from a time when it was box-office poison to be publicly gay, to the modern era when many top entertainment figures are actually celebrating their gay sexuality -- and are in turn celebrated for it. Revised and updated, Open Secret will bring readers up to speed on what has happened to the key players in gay Hollywood in last two years.
