[1] Robert Hofler, The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson (2005), page 189. "Other homosexual actors of the period also found reasons to avoid the go-getter agent [Henry Willson]. 'I often think what would have happened if I'd signed with him, said Roddy McDowall [to the author]', who visible shuddered at the thought." Darwin Porter, in Brando Unzipped (2005), page 562, makes the claim that McDowall and Montgomery Clift were lovers: "After The Young Lions, Monty still had a few major movies in him, including the 1959 Suddenly, Last Summer, but privately he was 'on the road to hell', as his lover, Roddy McDowall, said." See also Sheridan Morley, John Gielgud (2003), page 247: "Around such Anglophile directors as George Cukor, writers such as Christopher Isherwood, and actors such as Roddy McDowall, there was already a strongly established gay community, one which was able to function in comparative freedom."
