I mean, how could you not?

Haines — his smile didn't intentionally hide anying, but he didn't read as gay to audiences. (Image via MGM)

William aka Billy Haines (1900-1973) bolted from Virginia in 1919 to live in NYC's Greenwich Village, where he lived with a male couple who'd been together for 40 years. He also befriended a same-sex couple who were living together, both of whom moved to Hollywood — becoming known as fashion designer Orry-Kelly (1897-1964) and movie star Cary Grant (1904-1986).

Billy entered a 1922 talent contest that lhe won, leading to an MGM contract and a career in Hollywood in the Silent Era.

Throughout the '20s, Haines gained a reputation as a popular leading man, one with a certain degree of sarcasm that today might be diagnosed as snark. His hits included the 1926 smashes Brown of Harvard and Tell It to the Marines (indeed).

He was also a carouser, notching up affairs with men and women, including an alleged one-off with Clark Gable (1901-1960), a more serious affair with superstar Ramon Novarro (1899-1968), and relationships with Norma Shearer (1902-1983) and Barbara La Marr (1896-1926).

In spite of Haines's success, his casual approach to being gay was a liability; in an era when coming out was unheard of, he was never really in, though he did tell reporters he was in love with actress Polly Moran (1883-1952), a pal. In reality, from 1926, he was in love with former sailor Jimmie Shields (1905-1974), with whom he lived.

The late Betsy Bloomingdale's goodies are being auctioned by Christie's, among them a number of items designed or supplied by the legendary designer/former actor/gay bon vivant Billy Haines.

Haines, as you may know, was Joan Crawford's bestie. It was his decades-long relationship with his partner that Crawford said made theirs the happiest marriage in Hollywood.

I find the items Christie's is offering rather meh, but there's no overlooking this handsome cock.
