Jane and her homosexual men
Old Jane recently did an interview you can find on the Internet that included a discussion about the homosexual men in her life. She had a number early in her career who hoped they could convert to being heterosexual by being in a relationship with her. It didn't work. She once described herself as the "biggest little mother in New York". She had a marriage proposal from one well know actor who was a closeted homosexual in 1964. She declined to name him. From other sources Jane tried to seduce Tony Perkins when the were filming "Tall Story" in late 1959 but got nowhere, even inviting him into her dressing room when she was stark naked. Strangely enough she then became romantically involved with a former lover of Perkins, bisexual actor Timothy Everett, from I recall 1959 -1961. The homosexual man that Jane lived with for two years (1961-1963) was fellow Actors Studio member and her "acting coach" Andreas Voutsinas. He was rather a sponge and she dumped him for movie director Roger Vadim in late 1963.
