Massachusetts-Born Star Hated Filming ‘The Wizard of Oz’
John Joseph Haley Jr. was an American actor, comedian, dancer, radio host, singer, drummer and vaudevillian. Yet chances are the only reason you've heard of him is because of his role in the classic 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer film The Wizard of Oz.
Jack Haley, as he was established to fans, was born August 10, 1897 in Boston, Massachusetts to Jack Haley Jr. and Ellen Curley. Haley's father, a waiter and ship steward, died in the wreck of the schooner Charles A. Briggs in Nahant, Massachusetts, in 1898 when his son was just six months old.
Jack Haley would co-star in films with Shirley Temple and Frank Sinatra, and of course the film that brought him fame The Wizard of Oz with another child star, Judy Garland.
Haley was cast in The Wizard of Oz as the Tin Man, replacing Buddy Ebsen, who vacated the role after suffering an allergic reaction to the silver face makeup used in the production. Haley also suffered a reaction to the aluminum-based makeup. An eye infection sidelined him for several days.
Haley married Florence McFadden in 1921, and the c

"I have amazing taste in directors and in people for costumes. But as far as husbands go, I reflect that I kept modifying for them. And then about a year later I'd think: 'What am I doing? This really isn't me,'" she told Oprah in 2010.
Minnelli, 75, collaborated with her close friend, the epic designer Halston, on one of her most eye-catching wedding looks, a yellow pantsuit she wore to marry Jack Haley, Jr. That wedding is depicted in Netflix's new Halstonseries by Ryan Murphy.

I know #1 and #4 were/are. What about #2 (Jack Haley, jr.) and #3 (Mark Gero)?

I’ve definitely heard rumors about Jack Haley, Jr. Not unlike the rumors I’ve heard about Jack Haley, Sr.
Whether either one is/was verifiably homosexual, no hint. Sorry.

Is she attracted to gay men or is she just clueless?

Besides, it could be argued that Liza just wants a guy just like the guy that married prized old mom. Let’s see…Vicente Minelli, Mark Herron…
Heck, Liza’s Grampa Gumm was a closeted gay man. And her stepfather (Mark Herron) had an affair with her husband (Peter Allen)!
Garlandland is a VERY same-sex attracted place…

**Is she attracted to male lover men or is she just clueless? **
Mary, it’s an old family custom! Her mother married same-sex attracted men, her grandmother married a gay man . . . The truth that there are three generations alone is reason for hat-doffing.

As if hats were still in design. Pshaw!

Now, I'm not making fun of or being snarky towards gay people, actors, entertainers, or whatever. I devotion Elton John's music, and believe Neil Patrick Harris is one of the funniest actors working today. Now that you perceive I'm not some homophobic bigot, I just don't understand how the Tin Man got away with being SO gay. Everything from the over-the-top "Oh Sthop it!!" to the hands on the hips to his queenish prancing just felt wrong in this movie. When the Scarecrow and Dorothy oiled his elbows, the tin man exclaims "Oh, good, that feels wonderful!" in the most peculiar way. His mannerisms were almost like a really awful impression of a same-sex attracted person. Nonetheless, I must reiterate this doesn't bothe
