Ben Piazza (Jonas Falk on Love of Life, and he was on The Doctors) was bi-sexual.ย  (He was also a novelist and a playwriter.)

ย 

Also, David Rounds (Love of Life and also a writer) was gay.

ย 

I have also heard that Peter White (The Secret Storm, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, All My Children) was gay.

Iโ€™m sure this has been posted before, but...

And Bernau talking about his โ€œbachelor lifestyleโ€:

ย 

He keeps his personal options open as well, living the bachelor life out of his two-room apartment on Manhattanโ€™s Upper West Side. โ€œWhen Iโ€™m happily involved with a woman, I donโ€™t look around for someone else,โ€ he explains, but cautions, โ€œIโ€™m going out with two or three girls now. Iโ€™ve never been and at the moment am not looking to get married. I like living alone. A tough workday makes me short-tempered or quiet. Iโ€™m not good company.โ€

ย 

And Corbett:

ย 

Corbett, who neither smokes nor drinks and spends much of his limited free time pumping iron in a midtown gym, the better for his two or three shirtless scenes per week. But life isnโ€™t all perspiration and paychecks. Heโ€™s been able to apply some of his Method acting to life off-camera. โ€œWhen you learn something that works,โ€ explains Corbett, who is romantically unattached, โ€œyou use it.โ€ Namely? โ€œWhatโ€™s most appealing,โ€ he says, โ€œis staring a woman right in the eyes, standing very close, and speaking softly.โ€

I almost didn't recognizeย Bernauย ย in that pic. He looks so darn adorable. What's the real story behind his death? Was it lime disease that was reported or was it AIDS related?ย

Iโ€™m watching 1979, and he was stunning with a beard. Iโ€™ve always heard his death was from AIDS complications.ย

I never liked Bernau with a beard...LOL....made him look much older than what he was.....and I never cared for MC looks....fugly ....

See I thought the beard on Bernau brought out a kind of dirty, primalย masculinity that you didnโ€™t always see with him. The beard did a similar thing for Roger Moore when he was a bit older.

ย 

Bernau was handsome regardless, though (I love this sweater/jacket combo):

I donโ€™t we mentioned Curt Dawson (Peter Chapman, GL), who was an ex-lover of Ian McKellen ๏ปฟand Armistead Maupin๏ปฟ. He died from AIDS in 1985 at 43.

McKellen writes about him here:

Hmmm...his face looks familiar but I don't remember him on GL.ย
