He Died 30 Years Ago, Now His Sexuality Comes to Light

- Did you know that actor Burt Lancaster was under investigation from the FBI for his alleged bisexuality, or did you think that all Hollywood leading men were the epitome of masculinity? When Burt Lancaster was growing up on the tough streets of East Harlem during the Great Depression, the future star learned a thing or two about being tough. While he did everything he could to get into trouble when his mother wasn’t looking, she did her best to instill values in the boy whenever she could, even if it meant beating him!
Young Burt didn’t aspire to be a Hollywood star, but a circus performer. During his young adulthood, Burt dropped out of school with his friends and they started performing as acrobats at the circus. Burt was taller than the average gymnast, but he still found moderate success in the profession. Sadly, an injury sustained on the job during his 20s put an end to his acrobatic career in the circus.
After having to give up his days in the circus, Burt worked for a time as a USO performer. Around this time, someone approached Burt and offered him a role on Broadway. Unsure about his future, Burt took the job. He ended up enjoying acting, and made his Hollywood debut in 1946, at the age of 33. That debut was in The Killers, and Burt was a big star by the time the 1950s rolled around.
As compared to many of his contemporaries, Burt liked to consider his own personal beliefs when choosing projects. He turned down the lead role in Ben-Hur because he didn’t like the film’s religious themes. He started his own production company so he could be in charge of his own projects, and was always outspoken about his liberal beliefs. Although Burt was married three times, he was allegedly a bisexual swinger who liked to party with such fellow Hollywood stars as Rock Hudson.

Did you know Burt Lancaster bullied Kirk Douglas to tears? Find out more here: ua-cam.com/video/wHt29aCo00c/v-deo.html
Maybe Kirk D jealous of Burt R started this story Also the cia fbi wanted to destroy burt for his political views
Strange Burt had so much guts yet never came out? More like cia fbi trying to destroy his name due to his political views
Yes, a national magazine printed that in the 1950’s.
Good for him, given the allegation that Douglas was a brutal rapist
@@marksmith3947.....Yes and ALLEGATIONS are FACTS.😵💫
My grandmother dated him, I didn’t believe it till one day I found old photos of both of them
Interesting! What did your grandmother tell you about Burt?
cool
As a young kid. Everything I watched him in was jaw dropping. The epitome of great presence
Us too! Thank you so much for bringing back memories. What other types of video would you like to see?
Ahh, one of my favorites. I love this quote from Tony Curtis about Lancaster: "Here's this great big aggressive guy that looks like a ding-dong athlete playing these big tough guys and he has the soul of-who were those first philosophers of equality?-Socrates, Plato. He was a Greek philosopher with a sense that everybody was equal." Burt had such soul
Nice.....!!# Xx

He was an honest and noble person who stood by his personal principles. A lot of actors caved under pressure and turned their backs on their friends.
A noble person does not cheat on their spouses.
Elia Kazan, remembering the Group theater and how the communists in late 30's Hollywood and Broadway bullied, smeared and destroyed those who stood in their way. We now have the Communist Party card numbers of ALL TEN of the uncooperative witnesses. These people all were sworn to serve Josef Stalin against the USA without question.
@@valentinr.dominguez2892 Prince Charles is nobility and he cheated on Diana.
"The Swimmer" was one of the best movies ever made in my opinion.
the Swimmer was his favorite too
Burt Lancaster was one of the greatest movie actors of all time.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
He was my favorite actor. I did not know he championed against actor blacklisting. Good to know.

@@FactsVerse From Here to Eternity
I'm of the opinion that Burt Lancaster was a fabulous actor. I've never before heard or read anywhere that Burt's "alleged sexuality" related to men as well as women. Whatever Burt Lancaster's sexual desires were, such desires were, in my opinion, his business and his business alone. Andy McKane, 19 June 2023, Molokai, Hawaii.
We're a fan of Burt too. Which of Burt's roles appealed to you the most?
Bisexuality is much more common among "straight" men than you think but the taboo was and is still so taboo that men have sex with other men in the shadows. I know as a gay man just how common it is for straight men to want to sleep with me but I know my comments will elicit both denial and outrage . Believe what you want.
His sexuality was his business. His acting career was there for all of his fans to enjoy. It’s hard to pick a favorite movie but I really thought he was great in Local Hero and Atlantic City . He made a lot of fine movies.
@@danielcombs3207 You wouldn't have made that statement if the narrator had mentioned his many heterosexual affairs but, because he also had affairs with men, you and other posters hide your discomfort with that by stating that his sexuality was his business. Had he only had sex with women, I'm sure you would not have felt that you had to say that his sexual orientation was his business.
I absolutely agree.
Bert Lancaster was an amazing actor with tremendous physical and acting skills. I was not surprised when you mentioned that he had his way of doing things. He had a reputation for being very nice but curt with people. If he was gay or not it's really NOBODY'S business and if he was it was his choice.
All in all, he was a great actor who brought a lot of joy to millions of people throughout his career.
He was nominated for four Oscars but only won one.
"The American Film Institute ranks Burt Lancaster as #19 of the greatest male stars of classic Hollywood cinema."

Everyone in Hollywood is accused of being gay. I know some are. I believe it’s a person right to live life the way they want to . As far as there personal life let them live it.
Queer is the Hollywood religion.
“Accused”?? It’s not a crime, it’s a sexual orientation.
@@dg1006 It's a perverse preference.
They themself come out as if the rest of us are interested or care - - why, is being gay a badge of honour ?
@@rob5197
Because it gives them points in the queer cult that's taking over Western civilization.
That man was one of the sexiest actors in Hollywood in his time.
The title photo is Burt with Yvonne DeCarlo in one of my favorite film noir pictures Criss Cross. He was also great in the noir classic picture The Killers. Later in his career he was in a little picture with Susan Sarandon called Atlantic City. This Louis Malle directed film really showed what great actors they both are!
I loved Atlantic City
Knowing these things about Burt reinforces my belief that he was a genuinely good person . And I always enjoyed his movies . My favorite Burt Lancaster movie is The Train , from 1964 . And the way that he moved was unmistakable - in The Train , there's a scene where he slides down a ladder from an overpass , looking all " Burt Lancastery " while doing it . And Burt Lancaster was one of the ringside announcers during the " fight of the century " between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier . I recognized the sound of Lancaster's voice right away as I watched the boxing match . Good , all around guy , Burt Lancaster was .
A good person doesn't cheat on their spouse.
Since I always knew that I wouldn't never meet Burt Lancaster in person, he was my fantasy man. Who he was in real life is irrelevant to me!
“He practiced ‘alternative behaviors’ in his personal life…” That’s quite a sentence.
I’m sure this guy would claim I “practice alternative behaviors” every time I wipe my a$$.

Bert Lancaster was likable
As some actors just have a relatable presence.
It's a quiet and noble presence
like Jimmy Stewart .
Lancaster wasn’t gay, not that there is anything wrong with that. He had a number of relationships with women over the years. He’s not here to comment. Let him rest in peace. A great actor.
This video does not say he was gay but that his wives said he had affairs with both men and women. The Truth is not something that needs to be hidden.
I agree with your comment. Not anybody’s business anyway if he was gay or not but I believe he wasn’t. Let him rest in peace great actor xx
@@blazingsaddles7145 Who is keeping him from resting in peace?
I agree. Just because he was very close to Rock Hudson, close minded people make assumptions and spread gossip. He had 5 kids and married 3 times. He had affairs with women. I see people do the labeling and gossip all the time. If someone associates with a gay person they must be gay. I believe Burt understood poverty and being at the bottom and people looking down on you. He understood that well and so he saw it with friends he knew and was not going to take it. He probably make them gossip.
@@Dan-xx5jq There is a third category - bisexual.
I grew up with both Bert, and Kirk, and many Hollywood legends, such as James Stewart, Clark Gable, Allan Ladd, and many more. I miss them all. God Bless all of them.
He was and always will be known as an acting giant. His leading roles were always full of passion and grist. Just lit up the screen in whatever he appeared in.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Burt. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
I have always loved Burt and his films. May he rest in peace.
Us too! What is your most memorable role of Burt?
Burt Lancaster signed on to play a gay window dresser in the movie version of Kiss of the Spider Woman. The producers couldn't understand why he'd want to make that picture in a stellar, macho career. But they were grateful for his assistance because it allowed them to raise money. Lancaster's health declined; William Hurt was re-cast. Burt Lancaster's last role in a major motion picture was in Field of Dreams. He had to resign in 1990 due to a stroke, and he passed away four years later from a heart attack.
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info about Burt. What other types of video would you like to see?
A description of his scene in Field of Dreams. It was a scorching hot day. An observer said Burt Lancaster ever the profession was ready well before perfectly dressed in his suit for scene paying no attention to the hit. I think that his final acting scene. What an exit
He had the same brown sport coat he wore for years and a tie in his coat pocket. When he walked into '21' Club having just put on his old tie....every head turned, both men and women, he was so beautiful....the way he moved, gestured, spoke and those icy blue eyes like a malamute.
When you are as unbelievably handsome and physically desirable as Burt Lancaster was, the World presents itself as a sexual smorgasbord and if he returned to the buffet again and again and tried every option who can blame him. I could watch From Here to Eternity on a continuous loop and he still would make me go weak at the knees every time.
Well said my friend, I have always found in life that people whom bring up, worry about, a person's sexual preferences are usually jealous and or to shit scared to come out of the closet themselves.
@@raymondpulham1600 Yep I reckon jealousy and envy are behind 90% of spiteful comments
I don't care what his sexuality was, he was a great actor and put forth his very best at all times.
You Most Certainly Are Going To Face God Judgement , and God Condemn Men Laying With Man and Women Laying With Women, God Said All Those Rejecting His Word Are Rejecting Him As There King and Are All Cast In The Lake Of Fire 🔥 👍
@chrisnorcutt9060 A person's sexual preference is between them and God, not for us to judge. I am heterosexual, but don't judge others because that is not my duty but God's.

The same can be said of striaght people who have sex outside thier marriages as well . Thou shall not commit adultery. Stop with your selective christian outrage!
@@renegaderunner332 EXACTLY. I have never had sex or been married, but if you are unfaithful to your spouse, you will face judgment as well.
Why talk about a person’s sexuality?? It didn’t affect his ability to act. He was one of the best. The is no longer here, let him rest in peace! Burt was and always will be a star!⭐️
The reason is because most roles involve sexuality - either directly or just because it adds charisma to the characterizations. Otherwise, they wouldn't generally pick people much more beautiful than the average to play the roles in their artistic creations.
It is true that some roles do not involve sexually attractive persons but they are less common.
Mentioning his marital status, male or female, is also revealing his sex life or orientation, or telling who he dated female or male. We openly discuss Alexander the Great and his homosexual orientation. It's a matter of history now. What are you so ashamed of? We celebrate him as one of us in the gay community quite proudly. If that really bothers you, perhaps you might look inside and see what part of you is troubled with this truth. It is YOUR problem after all.
It doesn't matter what his preferences were he was a great actor he had his faults no one is perfect.
It's been 29 years. He died in 1994.
It just makes sense that Burt & Kirk would be pals. Both men seem to be open minded during a time when that could have killed your career.
Open minded about sin.

He was extremely popular back in golden years in Iran .

Just about to binge some Josef Von Sternberg films with Dietrich ... maybe that?
1967. The Factory. West Hollywood. A group of young adults were being escorted to my station. I thought they were quite plain in this room full of glamour. I was, mildly, taken aback when I was told told they were his children. Look at their photo in this piece. Then imagine them, exactly like that, ten years later.

It's very hypocritical for the FBI to investigate him. Hoover was an "interesting" person to say the least.
Hoover was gay, hence the many people he was interested in, what a creep. Truman Capote was also investigated though his sexuality was openly known. Absolute power corrupts.
Strange times now! When a federal police agency would investigate a persons sexual orientation!
He was great in judgment at Nuremberg.

I call such an investigation a waste of taxpayers' money. And what would have happened if they found out he was bi? Did he go to jail or something?
Knowing the truth is not a waste of time or money.
@@vernonfrance2974 And this truth is very important? I think it is more important to maintain a study, roads, safety or care with tax money than to investigate this nonsense, it has no added value, nobody gets richer from it, you remain as you are and nothing changes with this science. So your money and time is wasted.
@@bepsnet No tax dollars are being spent on finding out about Lancaster's background. This is done with all famous persons by individuals who want to write biographies and historical records.
It is important to many people because prominent figures such as actors like Lancaster was should have an accurate depiction of their lives. This includes information about their sex lives as far as what can be documented.
Understanding that Lancaster and other well known and admired actors were bisexual helps people to have a better understanding of human sexual practices and thus enables people to escape from the constricting bonds of established social conventions in order to be TRUER to themselves and freer of government overreach.
You ask "Did he go to jail or something?" No, he did not. This is probably because he was never charged with a sex crime which is what homoerotic experiences were deemed at that time.
Knowing about famous, respected people having homoerotic experiences contributed to a loosening of the Draconian laws that allowed people to be harassed for acts they engaged in as a consenting adult. This is a good thing.
Burt Lancaster is my fav movie star

As a kid in the later 60s, I remember hearing rumors. Living in southern California many 'hollywood' rumors were fairly common. His lifestyle is unpleasant and shows a lack of respect for his promises to his wife. Duplicity reveals a huge character flaw.

A lot of Handsome Stars we’re accused of being gay simply because they were handsome. And don’t put a lot of credence in what people say about a person after they’re dead when they’re not around to defend themselves. And when he was alive he probably heard the rumors but wouldn’t comment in order to not give merit to them. Bottom line he was a great Actor. 🤩
@johnmorris7262 Great actor, while a duplicitous person. No thanks, if someone doesn't wish to be monogamous or heterosexual, then employ integrity and don't lie to someone and make their life a huge disappointment, not honorable. We at least owe our fellow man integrity, otherwise how can you be trusted?
@FactsVerse I've always been an admirer of the Ferrer family of actors and that of Celia Cruz. Both the Ferrer family and Ms Cruz displayed the unusual courage to come to America and 'take a chance' at being popular with Americans. It's my belief and assumption that this is part of what makes America great and reflects the courage of many immigrants who come to the U.S.
@@JonBrown-po7he How do you know that this man who was obviously far wiser than most did not make it clear to his spouses that he did not go for the religious based monogamy that people take for granted as natural but actually is merely a societal norm? He refused the role in Ben Hur because of its blatantly religious proselytizing so why would he think negatively about loving many people, not just one at a time?
NO INTEREST, not viewing. Lauren Bacall in an interview said exactly that it means nothing. With past draconian views, who could blame stars keeping sexuity secret?
It is easy to label someone after their death. !!! In the end who cares !!!!!!

like him or hate him but he seems to have been true to himself and to what he believed in. Poor wife, for having to endure an unfaithful husband though...
I don't think humans are naturally monogamous. Loving just one person while withholding feelings for others is selfish on the part of both partners in the relationship.

I know all about that already. Hes not the first and wont be the last. There were many many others in Golden Hollywood, but they couldnt say because there wouldnt get any more work. Marlon Brando was 'open' and he was one of Burt's lover. James Dean, Anthony Perkins, George Peppard, Steve MsQueen, Clint Walker, Doug McClure, Guy Madison, Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford and Marilyn Monroe had a sexual relationship for a time until Joan started getting possesive. And the list goes on and on and on. Too many to mention.
@anitajohn6641 That's a great list. Although he was not an actor, the first famous entertainer I heard about in the fifties who was thought to be gay was Liberace.

Unfortunately greatest makes them think they are above everyone but self! So it goes with very bad behavior!
@DManCAWMaster
@DManCAWMaste Adultery is designated a sin by our social norms based on the Judeo-Christian heritage which most have been indoctrinated with but it is not universally considered to be a sin. Open marriages are often difficult because of jealousy but so are monogamous ones.
"Alleged, never proven"
His wives said so!
@@tomvalveede6808 Who said his wives said so? It is important to question everything.
Burt Lancaster finessed into an increasingly better actor over the years. Although he always posted very high quality, initially very physically imposing, from my standpoint his truly towering performances came after FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, TRAPEZE, paving the way for ELMER GANTRY, THE TRAIN, SEVEN DAYS IN MAY, IL GATTOPARDO, GO TELL THE SPARTANS, LAWMAN, MIDNIGHT MAN and the fabulous short part in ATLANTIC CITY. He was also a man of moral values, always voicing support for minorities and their rights, and taking anti-war stands. Whatever his sexual preferences may have been, he is remembered for his professionalism, athletic prowess, and charismatic acting.
BurtLancaster is ALWAYS my favorite! The FBI activity in this video is an example of how much our country's morals have deteriorated!

No mention of 7 Days of May ? I always thought that was his greatest performance.
Burt Lancaster was wonderful actor and, despite the usual human foibles, a pretty decent guy. So, I find it curious that so many people are upset when they hear that certain Hollywood actors were either bisexual or gay. So what? Imagine that you're young, incredibly beautiful, wealthy and talented. Imagine the freedom. Would it really be all that surprising that you'd test the bounds of middle class morality? If one was curious, or attracted to a person of the same sex, why wouldn't one experiment, at least once? I remember a story about Douglas Fairbanks Jr. who, apparently later in life, went to bed with another man. His reply when he was asked about this was, I was curious, not really my thing, but it was rather interesting. I also remember reading somewhere about Winston Churchill, of all people, having a one night affair with a well known British actor and singer, Ivor Novello. When asked what it was liked he replied "musical." I doubt many such men lost any sleep over it.
Let these people RIP, it's disgusting that dirt is dragged out about them whether true or not,
I don't give a f... about his 'sexuality' I care only about his performance skills.
Read autobiography of Tony Curtis and he talks about casual sexual relationship with Burt.
Burt was the typical "rich" actor who could afford to swing both ways!
Let's not make more of it than there is!
This is a Great Documentary !! 🥰🥰🥰❤️
Mr Lancaster was a great actor his sexuality be damed. What he or any other adult does is of no one’s business but his own. I dislike those who come out of the woodwork after someone’s death to talk crap about them. They do so because they are cowards down to the yellow strip down their backs. The last film I remember seeing him in was Rocket Gibraltar and it was absolutely incredible. Too many to list but a Great American Actor. My criticism isn’t meant for the maker of this video because they are just reporting on it. I enjoy watching videos of years gone by when No disgusting messaging was in the movie no propaganda!!
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Burt. What other types of video would you like to see?
It wasn't known about his damned behavior off-screen. Morals and greatness don't mixed well with those who think money buys everything. Sadly we all die and even "actors" can't portray that REAL event well. End of life does eventually catch up, no matter how great one thinks of themself.
@@mildredcorbett138 I agree to a point because unless someone does something illegal and or hurt the innocent in some manner that may not be illegal then their business should remain just that , their business!
Mentioning someone's sexuality isn't talking crap about them, unless you're ant-gay. It's just an interesting facet of their life, which often comes out only after they've died. Don't waste your energy on being offended.
@hombredeacero3131 Man of Steel. What makes you think the Truth about anyone who is famous regarding their sexuality should be hidden? There are too many who went through life hiding the facts and that is because in the past the majority in our society was brainwashed about sexuality. Knowing the truth will help more people accept themselves if they have dual tendencies and help others to see it as a fact of life for many, not a sin.
Very talented and entertaining
What! You didn't mention Elmer Gantry!!
People forget, that sometimes young people experiment with sex while trying to find themselves. Like girls do in college. That doesn't make them gay. If he was, he would of stayed with the choice that gave him the most pleasure. People stay with what gives them most pleasure.
@wallacegarrett668 Some people remain interested in affairs with both sexes and what's wrong with that? Thank goodness it is no longer the way it was when I went to college in the early sixties when students at my school were expelled permanently if known to have had gay interests.
I do believe you miss understood me. I am not making a judgement call, I am just making an observation. Some people experiment and choose to stay with their new interest and others choose not to. That's all I am saying. Those who stay are one way, and others who don't stay or another way. Simple as that.
@@wallacegarrett668 I'm sorry I did not fully understand your original statements and thank you for taking the time to clarify.
I agree that people should be able to experiment and change their minds as often as they wish with regards to which gender they prefer or both or neither.
I am also glad that at least the law no longer subjects people to severe penalties for the most part.
I just want to point out how Draconian the situation used to be for gay people and still is in some cultures. Although it was decriminalized in 1961in Illinois where I am from, a teaching assistant at my college was caught by the police in a raid of a bath house. He was arrested and his name published in the paper. He got fired and his life was probably pretty much wrecked.
My favorite movie of his is still Jim Thorpe All American.

Oh, I get it. You're one of those geniuses that believes "love is love." Like toilet water is the same as drinking water. Interesting how you can't distinguish between the beautiful and the profane, the healthy and the unhealthy, the straight and the crooked.
Perfect comment, very well said.👍👍
He was a very interesting person!
Just like Marilyn Monroe had many bi - women, as well as lesbians in Hollywood came on to her. She was know to have a few affairs with some. But I do believe they were initiated by these women, not by Marilyn. She might have experimented with them, but as you can see, she was clearily into men. Just because she might have been or was pursued and experimented with someone of the same sex, does not make her gay. When it becomes a habit and becomes a part of your life; then you are considered "gay".
So, when it becomes a habit to have sex with the other sex you are considered straight???????? You sure do reduce sexuality down to its lowest common denominator. A HABIT?
The FBI investigated him for being bisexual?! That is ridiculous and sounds like a Seth Rogen movie plot.
When I was little I went with my Gran to see a circus movie with Burt Lancaster. I thought he was beautiful!

@susanjoyce-yq2mg I remember seeing ads for that movie which also starred Tony Curtis.
@@vernonfrance2974 That's the one!
Loved his acting.
One of his hidden gems was "The Train," about a French yardmaster reluctantly helping the Resistance stop a Geman colonel's tranport by train to Germany of many priceless works of art as the Germans were retreating.
Another favorite of mine was "The Halleluja Trail."
And with Kirk Douglas in "Seven Days in May," an edge-of-your-seat political thriller of the first order
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerseAlfred Hatchplot, please. (Sorry - channeling Mad Magazine!)
Didn't know anything about his personal life until now bit I'm not surprised about anything in this video given Hollywood's track record back then
@mmarjisr
Hollywood is a mirror of society. There are many in all walks of life who don't think their private behavior is the government's business, especially considering that that behavior is not intentionally harmful to anyone else.
Also reflecting society, Hollywood has many narrow minded, busy bodies as well.
Great actor
This is ALL GOSSIP----NO Different than Trash Magazines.💯
That was real good!
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Bi, not bi, who cares? Out of this huge planet I think I'd find someone of the same gender that I would find attractive. [ why does it have to be one way or the other?, and don't give me that Adam and Eve shit.} I have found others I find handsome. I get approached, I don't freak out. It's a compliment. What a person does with that is up to them and not the business of others. Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. In other words, mind your damn business. I feel that Burt Lancaster was a fine actor. And that's all that mattered to me. His sex life was just that, HIS sex life!
You tell 'em, Frankie!
Well, all I know is that when, as a young teenager, I first saw Burt Lancaster in the beach scene in "From Here To Eternity" I figured for shure I must be a ghey, as I went weak in the knees and all 😏...(and I still think he ranks as one of the most beautiful men ever....and apparently him and Marlon Brando had a pretty torid affair as well!....oh, to be a fly on the wall)🤤
Strange he turned down Ben Hur on religous grounds when he ended up playing Moses.
Was Mr. Ed gay, too? How about Rin Tin Tin, Trigger and Lassie? It's so easy to say things about people who can no longer defend their reputations. I wonder what people will say about you after you make your final exit. Hmm.
there are 2 or 3 nude photos of Burt availablee on google images. These must have been taken when he was a carnival performer before he was discovered in Hollywood.
Remarkable actor ! It's a free world and Burt enjoyed it ! Nobody should judge, because ignorance is the biggest SIN !
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
The Swimmer was my favorite Burt Lancaster movie. It was directed by Frank Perry (Katy Perry‘a uncle), who also directed Mommy Dearest. Burt was sizzling sexy. ❤️🔥
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
Burt Lancaster was always wonderful and mesmerizing, but his portrayal of Elmer Gantry (which I saw when I was 12) really knocked me out. I've seen that movie at least a dozen times.
@@FactsVerse I would love a deep dive into Gloria Graham’s life and her scandals, plus a video on the Uber handsome James Garner and his incredible history. I love your channel. ✨
