Just watched Yanks ... I didn't realise she committed suicide the year after this was made. Did she have an affair with actor Laurence Harvey about 35-odd years ago? I seem to remember seeing them once walking along together near the Dorchester, Hyde Park, when I was working around there.

Thanks .. but no mention of Laurence Harvey.

[deggers316]

Zvi Mosheh (Hirsh) Skikne
was harveys real name and was gay
died of cancer at 45 years old

[smurfchops]

So did they have an affair or not ?? !!

[deggers316]

i think that fact he was gay must put you in doubt about that and there's no mention of him in her life, look up both these actors in google and wikopeadia you'll get all your answers

[deggers316]

by the way does the fact he was walking with her denotes they were an item,really ??

[rabbitygirl]

Laurence Harvey gay deggers? Now I know being married (3 times for LH) does not necessarily denote heterosexuality but I have never seen him described as such before.

So, with respect, I think you are wrong.

[deggers316]

check the above references rabbit I'm ,not wrong

[smurfchops]

Yes rabbit, I seem to remember he was married to Paulene Stone the model ... didn't they have a daughter who tragically died recently ? And they were making a film of the daughter .. she had a strange name I seem to remember.

[rabbitygirl]

deggers - it seems the only 'above references' referring to Laurence Harvey's sexuality are your own.

Where have you seen about his being gay, as I cannot find a single item?

Always willing to learn.....

Yes, smurfchops, correct. Daughter, by Pauline Stone, was Domino. Now deceased. You must be around my age - remembered his wifes name from way back!

hi rabitt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Harvey

its at the last paragraph make up your own mind about it,but i heard it when he died at that time as well as i'm only 5 of years younger than him.
if your gay and an actor it is still a no no to "come out" especially in Hollywood,(work would dry up over night)
unlike in this country,as for Harvey you can make your own mind up but for me a man who marries in this case to look "straight"and at the same time drinks heavy is having to hide something, a case in question -
- M Barrymore
by the way i though he was a terrific actor

[rabbitygirl]

Yep, fair comment deggers - we all know Hollywood liked their gay actors to wed the ladies and chase the guys in private, but LH married 3 times.

I've never heard this about him before and he doesn't appear on gay lists that I've seen.

I am not a besotted fan, feeling the need to jump in all uppity and defend him. He was a good actor, I liked him and my mind is made up to continue disagreeing with you.

Either way (!) it won't keep us up nights! Nice talking to you deggers......
