I've always been intrigued by his story and my interest has awaked now because yesterday I downloaded a couple of movies of him, A Countess From Hong Kong and On The Waterfront. So in case you haven't watched it here's the Biography Channel documentary on him. There are others on YouTube, I don't know which is the best but this one is pretty interesting and dynamic.
Why is it that he makes you feel the need to be there and help him? Help him make different choices, help him not be crazy, help him not end up alone. Is it just because of his beauty? Well let's say, BEAUTY. Beauty and charisma? Do you think he was gay? Bisexual? Do you even believe in bisexuality?
I personally think there's no doubt he was 100% gay, in a time you couldn't really be that because you simply wouldn't let yourself be. Just the fact that he didn't really have real relationships with women, only affairs and more affairs, like looking for something that never came. And mostly with exotic women, like stripped of the all american femininity of his fellow countrywomen. I mean, how long did he last with sexiest-woman-evar Marylin Monroe? 2 fucks? 3? Anyway I could talk long about him but summarizing, he's a fascinating character and always will be.
