Kay + Clint involved?
Were Clint Eastwood & Kay Lenz "involved" during BREEZY? I wonder.
Everything I have read about this movie, Clint and Kay were not involved during filming. William Holden really respected Clint as a director.
shareIt's hinted at in the 'Legend' book but there's nothing to back it up. She was very beautiful in this film. He surely must have been tempted LOL!

What is the 'LEGEND' book and what did it say?
Holden's involvement in "Breezy" has about a page of information in the biography "Golden Boy, the untold story of William Holden." It does say that Clint paid much attention to Kay during filming and William Holden asked if he'd talk to him. Clint thought Kay needed more attention than William Holden. Holden said he needed all the help he could get.
Whether they were an "item", it doesn't say. Holden did help Kay with her nervousness and made her at ease during the nude scenes, especially where she disrobes in front of him.

I own GOLDEN BOY and my sister and I read it about 3 years ago. I am aware there is no mention of Kay and Clint having an affair. My question...
What is the 'Legend' book and what hint is given to infer an affair between Clint and Kay?
The book I mean is
'Clint: The Life and Legend' by Patrick McGilligan
It says he was very protective of her & seemed 'beguiled' (excuse the pun). There was more but I can't remember it all. It's an amazing read BTW. I couldn't put it down. The author isn't his biggest fan let's say!
I've also read Sondra Locke's 'The Good The Bad & The Very Ugly' which was absorbing but very strange. She's not your average punter. She seemed less annoyed by the devastating things (tubal ligation & several abortions)than by the fairly trivial stuff. Odd.

Helenelisechat:
I presume this is the "hint" you are referring to. It is located in the chapter Blue-Collar Clint:
According to sources, although Clint had refused to star as the middle-aged man who falls in love with Lenz on screen, off camera he became infatuated with the actress.
'I knew about Kay,' said one old friend of Clint's, who visited the set. 'I can remember watching him direct her in a scene where she was supposed to look sexy or vulnerable. He'd take her face and stroke her mouth and jaw, saying, "Soft! Soft!" Because she had a kind of mouth that jutted out at you. He kept saying, "Soft! Soft!" He was very, very gentle with her. I knew something was going on.'
Crazedfemale, thank you for providing this helpful link. I believe it is QUITE possible that Kay Lenz and Clint Eastwood had an affair. If so, I'll bet Clint didn't want Bill or Scott Holden to find out. It appears somewhat clandestine.
I read Sondra Locke's book too, and I agree with what you said about it. To be honest, I thought both she and Clint Eastwood came off very strange in it.
share"She" meaning Kay Lenz or do you mean Sandra Locke?
RE: I read Sondra Locke's book too, and I agree with what you said about it. To be honest, I thought both she and Clint Eastwood came off very strange in it.
I thought my sentence was clearly about Locke. I don't remember a mention of Lenz in the book.
I find it interesting that years later he cast Hilary swank in million dollar baby, and cannot help but see the physical resemblance between Kay and Hilary.
