isn't he dead by now? He was old when they filmed it. What difference does it make if he was gay?
Who knew?? Who really cares?? He was a very good actor and I enjoyed his work - on The Walton's, he was the grandpa we ALL wanted to have.
"He was married to the actress Herta Ware, best known for her poignant performance as the wife of Jack Gilford in Cocoon. Geer and Ware had 3 children, including actress Ellen Geer. Although they eventually divorced they remained close. Ware also had a daughter, actress Melora Marshall, by another marriage.
Geer had an early romantic relationship with late noted gay activist Harry Hay."
"Will Geer
(March 9, 1902 - April 22, 1978)
American actor and singer, born in Frankfort, Indiana, as William Auge Ghere. In the thirties he was gay activist Harry Hay's lover. He married actress Herta Ware and they had two daughters, Kate and actress Ellen Geer and son Thad."
yes Geer was an early boyfriend of Harry Hay, the Los Angeles Communist and radical who founded America's first large-scale gay activist organization, the Mattachine Society. He was married from 1934-1951 and had three children.
