They retired to the Berkshires where they opened up a gay-friendly bed-and-breakfast. Well ahead of their time.

 

 

Link to the trailer

Subject of a 2018 documentary 'The Bachelors of Broken Hill'

The true life soap opera of Frank Provo and John Pickard. Actors, writers and gentlemen farmers, their greatest success would not be found on the boards of Broadway or the hills of Hollywood but in a closeted relationship 40 years. This is their love story.

His daughter Jenny Sullivan wrote the play J for J (Journals for John) after she found a packet of unsent letters (in 1995) written by Barry decades earlier to her older brother Johnny, who was mentally disabled. The play premiered on October 20, 2001. John Ritter, who in real life had a handicapped brother, played Johnny, Jenny played herself, and actor Jeff Kober portrayed Sullivan.

A big thanks, as always to @Paul Raven and @jam6242 for all their help filling in blanks and photos. And a big thanks to @victoria foxton, @DRW50, @Soapsuds, and everyone that add videos. The ones with cast crawls help a lot with dates, and the ones without crawls are also helpful for years as well!  Any requests are always welcome.

The actor list on pages 1 and 2 is updated through Barry Sullivan.

[DRW50]

Thank you for all you do  @slick jones I know it must be annoying when you're tagged and it's something you already have, but you just keep on trucking. 

[slick jones]

Even when it's things I have, they end up rabbit-holing me.  I can almost always find new info through videos or just comparing the names to different sites.
