Cary Grant and Randolph Scott: A Gay Hollywood Romance.


Cary Grant was born in 1904 in Bristol, England with the unfortunate name of Archibald Leach.   When Archie was only 9, his father put Archie’s mother in a mental hospital, remarried and then abandoned Archie to the care of the state. 


 By the age of 14 he was expelled from school and joined a traveling vaudeville show as a stilt-walker. At the age of 16, he left England for a two year tour of the American vaudeville circuit with his British troupe. Soon he was working with an American troupe in St. Louis where he mastered acrobatics, mime and juggling. After a stint on Broadway, Archie moved to west to California and soon signed a contract with Paramount Studios under his new name of Cary Grant. 


 In spite of his poor background and his vaudeville past, he would constantly be cast as a wealthy sophisticate.


 George Randolph Scott’s early years were almost the exact opposite of Cary Grant’s. George was born in 1898 to a well off family. As a child growing up in Virginia, he lived a life of privilege. George’s parents made sure that he attended the best private schools and that he had a happy and care free childhood.


 After serving in World War I, going to college and a brief stint in the family business; George eventually decided on a career in acting. George’s father knew Howard Hughes, who was making films at that time, and arranged an introduction for his son. Soon known as Randolph Scott, he was only getting bit parts and was little more than window dressing. On the advice of director Cecil B. Demille, Scott gained some much needed acting experience by performing in local productions at the Pasadena Playhouse. The work paid off and soon he was landing larger roles.


Cary and Randolph met on the set of the 1932 movie, “Hot Saturday.”  The attraction was mutual and they quickly began spending all of their free time together. Their friends from that period said that the two handsome young actors lived together openly and began traveling in Hollywood’s gay social circles. A few years before, Cary Grant had lived openly with gay Hollywood designer, Orry-Kelly. 




 Cary and Randolph shared a Santa Monica beach house as well as a mansion in Los Feliz at 2177 West Live Oak Drive. 
 



They would live together for a total of 11 years, longer than most Hollywood marriages.


 



  A closeted gay journalist named Ben Maddox wrote a profile of the two bachelors for Modern Screen in 1933. The photos show Cary Grant and Randolph Randolph sharing house and living a very cozy and domestic life at the beach. Maddox used various code words in his story that would identify them as a couple to gay readers. These photos of them wearing aprons were apparently too much for heterosexual columnists who ridiculed the two men and implied that there was “something” between them.


 

 In 1934, the studio “encouraged” Grant to marry in order to kill the gay rumors that were swirling around the two young actors. In February of 1934, he married Virginia Cherril and 13 months later she divorced him, claiming that he had hit her. 


Virginia also said the Grant was constantly drunk and sullen and never showed any sexual interest. There is an unconfirmed rumor that Cary had been so depressed by his situation that he even attempted suicide. An attempted suicide was something that the studios would have done everything in their power to hush up; so that may be why there is no real evidence of it happening. 


Cary moved back in with Randolph as soon as the divorce was settled. The studio publicity department regularly planted stories about an endless stream of attractive young women going in and out of the beach house which they now referred to as “Bachelor Hall.”


 



 



 

Their good friend, Carole Lombard, when joking about Grant notorious cheapness said  "Their relationship is perfect. Randy pays the bills and Cary mails them.” Between the two of them, they had 7 failed marriages, but they were most likely marriages of convenience. 


 Mr Blackwell, the notorious fashion critic, lived with Cary and Randolph for several months. In his memoir he said that he considered them, “deeply, madly in love, their devotion complete…Behind closed doors they were warm, kind, loving and caring, and unembarrassed about showing it.”


  

 By 1940 they were no longer living together, due to pressure from the studio heads to marry and protect their image. They only made one movie together, ironically it was called, “My Favorite Wife.”

They must have still be lovers at the time since the script supervisor, Bert Granet, for “My Favorite Wife” recalled Cary and Randolfs unusual behavior on set:
“We shot the pool sequence at the Huntington Hotel in Pasadena. Cary and Randy Scott arrived as a pair and, to the total astonishment of myself, the director, and the ultra-macho crew, instead of taking separate suites moved into the same room together. Everyone looked at everyone else. It seemed hardly believable.”


 Cary and Randolph remained extremely close their entire lives. The maĆ®tre d' at the Beverly Hillcrest Hotel saw both actors in the 1970s, sitting in the back of the restaurant, long after the place had emptied. Cary Grant and Randolph Scott were sitting alone, quietly holding hands.

  1. I makes me very sad to see what must have been a strong love, quieted and hushed up by the ignorance of the time. Even now, we are barely allowed to have relationships. And when we do, we can only get married in a few places. Time will be on our side.

    2. I think there actions in living openly together, there many photo's in domestic bliss and even sharing the same hotel suit shows that they were saying it loud and proud how they felt for one another. the fact that the studio bosses " encouraged them to marry" proves only one thing, they did it for a quiet life and probably to keep there jobs, but they knew and the whole world knew they were fooling no one. They admitted nothing, nor deny there sexual preference. They just lived there lives as they pleased and why not, love is love, it has no preference, nor prejudice , it just is. A beautiful man , makes me happy to know that he had the love of his life and ill bet they remained so for the rest of there lives. I hope where ever you are, you are together and happy with out the whole world snooping and judging .

    3. Finding out that Grant and Scott were both Homosexuals makes me want to puke. I could never again look at them the same way after knowing this. It's a shame that some peoples brains are wired in such a way as to cause them to Short Circuit.

    7. Catherine: Ignorance exists. From my perspective, censoring it is little different than the ignorance of Hollywood studios insisting that CG & RS get married "for appearances".
      Observe it, contemplate it, decry it. But sweeping it under the rug does nothing.
      And Mr100741, try and grow up.

    8. Catherine, I agree with Drew. it is unfortunate, however, that such hate exists in the world.

    9. Mr100741, you should be ashamed of your comments. At the very least keep them in your own wired messed up brain. Their love was real, special and theirs to have whichever way they wanted. Men and women relationships could be so lucky.

    10. SCOTT died just 3 months after his beloved CARY; that often occurs with couples.

      Delete
    11. What a shame and how peculiar for mr100741 to enjoy and admire the works of these 2 men only to find himself physically ill once he finds out how their private lives were spent. To have such a strong reaction is usually the result of years ducking and hiding his own sexuality. To feel the need to puke (as he put it) has much more to do with his own self hatred and has nothing to do with 2 men he never met and who died over 30 years ago.

    12. So happy to see these photos. Cary Grant and Randolph Scott were obviously very much in love and you can see that in all these photos. They had many many good years together and lived fairly openly for the time it seems. We should all be happy that they got to share that love.

      LOVE & EMPATHY will always conquer ignorance & fear. :)

    13. I live in the same neighborhood in Charlotte that Randolph Scott's family lived in. Beautiful home on Dilworth Rd. We have Scott Ave
      And Randolph Rd. Nearby. Today I bought a signed picture of Raldolph Scott posing in Western wear on horseback at a Habitat store. Randolph Scott is buried here in Elmwood Cemetery....Sadly, he never experienced the freedom that has been too long coming to gay people in this country.

    15. We all know that at that time what they did was not acceptable behavior. Both were great actors and made some of the bst movies of all time. Today they could do what ever they wish in the open. I still love to see their movies and since I was raise not to judge or hate anyone because of their skin color or what ever their sexual habits are. We live in a society where you will be judge and in reality God is the only person who has the right to do that. Everyone dies and then judgement comes, so enjoy the small time you have on earth and remember. You either go to Heaven or Hell, so keep that in mind when you start to judge others. Have a great day.

    1. I'm 43 and a huge fan of Grant. If you read "Full Service" by Scotty Bowers you will get an insight as to how many people you had no idea were gay. You will be quite surprised. Tyrone Power, James Dean, Montgomery Clift, to name a (small) few. If you do your research it's all there.

    2. I didn't know James Dean was gay, or Tyrone, or Cliff. They really kept things secret back in those days. Thanks for sharing.

    3. Sadly, the studios STILL keep things secret. Are we to believe that there are no gays in Hollywood in 2016? Or are they still closeted even in these supposedly gay affirming times?

THANK YOU idbigg THAT is the book i read a while ago. and yes quite and an eye opener. and scotty was a lucky guy. but come on people "actor" and "gay" really shouldnt suprise people. i mean look at broadway. but it does make me feel bittersweet to see these pics of both cary and randolph. cary was my first hollywood crush.

  4. Heartbreaking! It makes me mad that the daughter is promoting his most clever covert assertion that he like to be thought of as gay so that women would try to prove him wrong. Is it really that shameful to admit the truth that your father was in love with another, talented and beautiful man?

    1. I am in total concurrence with you! He was a wonderful talent and being gay doesn't take away from that. He absolutely referenced gay code in many and or most of his films. Btw his "color" was robins egg blue!

      Delete
    2. I think he did more than reference gay code when, in the movie Bringing Up Baby, he answers co-star Kathryn Hepburn's question about why he's wearing a sheer peignoir with, "I've suddenly gone gay." [According to Scottie Bowers, Kate was also a big, ol' lez.]

    3. I wouldn't be too hard on Jennifer Grant, she's caught between a rock and a hard place. Dylan Cannon is her mother, a born-again Fundamental Christian assosoated with the corrupt Trinity Broadcasting Network. Her mother would have a pretty jaded view on gay issues.

  19. This is an amazing piece! I knew, or thought, Grant was Gay but didn't know about his intense lifelong relationship with Randolph Scott. I stumbled upon your page when i was reading on the JFK Library site a list of JFK's favorite things. His favorite actor was "Randolph Scott". I recalled the name but not being into old movies (except i do well recall some old movies staring Cary Grant, Rock Hudson or Tony Curtis...) I had to look him up to see who he was and what he starred in. Googling his name i found this webpage. I wonder if JFK knew he was Gay? 2 of JFK's (and Jackie's) best friends were gay: Lem Billings and William "Bill" Walton.

  20. People some times forget but at that time studio's OWN you. What movies you did, what parties you attended, where you where seen and YES, even who you married. Today they would have been celebrated as a loving Hollywood couple but in the early 1940's it was VERY taboo. Great story, but also a little sad they went through so much personal pain.

  25. Yes. I too thought this was a wonderful story as well as a revelation to me although I have read a number of articles about the muted homo eroticism implied in Scott's westerns. Not of course that referred specifically to the actor himself....but you then start to question associations. Charles Laughton, one of the great stage and screen actors, had difficulty in coming to terms with his homosexuality and to some extent this affected his personality and latter days of his career. He remained married to Elsa Lanchester for all those years, leading a double life.

  26. I have no doubt there are many famous actors/actresses who are alive and closeted in Hollywood. Even in modern times, they fear losing their career. Just my opinion.

  28. Being a heterosexual, I only wish I could find a love like this. It's sad that you have to hide who you love just so u could keep your job. I work at a studio today and even though we have come a great deal for gay rights, I think that an a leading man actor would still lose a lot of roles if he came out gay. That's sad. The role should go to the best actor gay or straight. Anyway, loved the article.

  34. What a celebration of love, loyalty, great faith, guts, hardships, forced marriages, and unabashed triumph in the way they took a single room on their film, My Favorite Wife. I think they were forerunners against the machine of image + money; they tried so so hard just to be happy. I honor them.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hollywood at that time was not receptive to homosexuality, period. It was considered amoral and destroyed the heterosexual idea of romance the movies attempted to sell. I'm happy to know that Scott and Grant found happiness together despite of the mores of the time.

  36. Thank you for sharing his story. I heard My Grant was gay and it is nice to see that he did have someone to love in his life and esp. in this times.

  38. Cary Grant loved highly intelligent, creative, talented and successful men and women . I knew him as kid in junior high to an adult in my early 30's. He always wanted a daughter and Jennifer should not be slighted for her feelings about her father.I'm 65 now and more men gay or not should be as complicated, yet iconic as he was.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I had no idea that either was gay or some of the other names dropped in comments after the story. I will follow this blog as i would like to know more LGBT history. I wish there were a coffee table book of such stories with the lovely photos like this story, very good stuff. Sad that they had to hide their relationship and marry women to make the studio's happy. Hell, i thought it was odd when Elton John married a woman because i thought the world knew he was gay, now we all know and he's married to the man of his dreams. I am not gay however I do support Gay rights because they are CIVIL RIGHTS. Everyone deserves their civil rights.

  40. I grew up loving Cary Grant films, and always thought his being gay was just an unsubstantiated rumor. Your article really clarifies the matter. His sexual preference doesn't change my respect for both him or Randolph Scott as both actors and human beings. The fact that they could retain their relationship in the social meat grinder of Hollywood, especially during a more intolerant time in history, only re-affirms their feelings for each other. That they were still together decades later is a testament to love. More power to them, and blessings to two great American actors.

    1. It boggles my mind why homophobic individuals spew their hate of someone who is gay! It has to be a psychological mind set that they develop as they 'mature?' into adult hood. It's a hate that transcends the norms of society or the moral concepts that guide it. I think it might be acerbated by the success of a gay relationship when in their mind, the relationship should be unfulfilled, miserable and emotionally void! (IMHO).

  50. I discovered this story because I was looking for an iconic photo of Cary in a suit. I think he was probably the best person to have ever worn a suit. I always felt he was unattainable. I see now that it was probably at least in part because he was gay. But part of it may have just been that he was perfect.

  59. Well this was quite a surprise to me but it doesn't make me feel any different about Randolph Scott I still love watching him. It actually makes me admire him more for having the courage to be with who he wanted to be with. Too bad they were forced into marriages to satisfy Hollywood and narrow minded audiences.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Billy Haines probably made a better choice. He refused to enter a sham marriage ordered by the studio. He informed Louis B. Mayer that he was already married and Mayer tore up his contract in front of him. Joan Crawford was a lifetime friend and said that Haines and his lover were the happiest married couple in Hollywood. He couldn't get hired by a studio, so he set up as an interior designer and did very well. He was a proponent (or inventor?) of the Hollywood Regency style, of which Joan Crawford's home is a good example.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Amen to a love that could not be throttled by the power structure of Hollywood! Could it be that Randolph died of a broken heart over Cary's death? (It would seem so, BTW: I wonder if they ever discussed being buried together, as they lived into their eighties, and had no restraints from any spouses or family? That would make perfect a true love story!)

    ReplyDelete
  62. This is the first I have ever heard of this and I realize I have lived at a most wonderful time. My Buddy (his name) and I have been together as a couple since October of 1983 and we married on June 18th 2014 at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Rockville, MD. We are residents of Kentucky but Rockville was the closest place at the time where we could travel to legally marry. The Supreme Court decision was still a few months away. I was always drawn to Cary Grant, even as a child. One of my favorite Cary Grant movies is "Father Goose". He represented the kind of loving father I had always wanted. His charm and manner were legendary. I am so happy to read that he did, in fact, have a life partner despite the troubles he and Randolph faced living in the daylight.
