How Did You Get Here?

richard-gere-speedo-briefsMost people who stumble upon this blog find it through Facebook, but people also sometimes find me through google searches.  I’ve reposted all of the known searches that people have made in the last few months.  Some are very specific and others are seemingly random.  As a person who enjoys internet sleuthing as much as the next guy, it’s nice to know that I’m not the only person who has googled “ralph meeker gay” and “masterpiece board game” and “jessica tandy i’ve gone blind.”  Is there a lesson in all of this?  Probably not, except maybe that at least 25 people (26, if you include me) would like to go on their computer and find a picture of Richard Gere in a Speedo.

Ralph Meeker is Gay, or rather, Ralph Meeker is Gay?

Yesterday, at the Festival, someone was telling an anecdote about the actor Ralph Meeker. The anecdote itself is not worth repeating but the takeaway for me was that Ralph Meeker, according to this person’s mother, was gay and struggled with playing the course, virile Hal in the original Broadway production of Picnic. Obviously, as an actor who often plays heterosexuals (though usually less course, virile ones) I was reminded of the on going challenge for the gay actor playing straight. I suppose in some ways it was easier and then in some ways more difficult. And then, I thought I would do a little google sleuthing to find out more stories about Meeker’s sexuality. I found nothing. Nothing on IMDB, nothing on Wikipedia, even gayorstraight.com said he was heterosexual. So, who knows. I will say that looking at old pictures, I do wish he was gay, he is a heartthrob. Maybe it’s a little inappropriate to out an actor who does not seem keen on being outed from his grave, but I suppose at the end of the day, Ralph Meeker was an actor. I’m sure he’s just glad people are still talking about him.
