These are the ones that I know of from backset sources taht are gay or have been rumored to be gay:

Dennis Parker (EON - did gay porn)
Jeff Branson (AMC - is said to be gay and hung)
Joel Crothers
Louis Edmonds
Jonathan Frid
Susan Flannery
Irene Dailey
Constance Ford
George Reinholt
Lee Patterson
Michael Lipton
Irving Allen Lee
David Oliver
Paul Keenan
Dack Rambo
Peter Reckell (bisexual)
Jason Brooks (bisexual)
Anthony Geary
Christian LeBlanc
James Mitchell
David O'Brien
Grayson Hall

many of them are out but many are not.

Dark Shadows & Edge of Night both had a huge group of gay actors who were known to party together on the boat of one of the actors. Lots of drugs and sex went on supposedly on that boat.

It is weird that years later you look back on it and at one time almost all the major heart throbs (male wise) were closeted gay men who came out much later in life.

I do know that Joel Crothers was still trying to keep his hidden and was planning to marry Veleka Gray at the time of his death. The rumors are about him are still very painful for Mrs. Gray. She was deeply in love with him and still is.

I remember when I was first told about Connie Ford and Irene Dailey it was the biggest shock to me esp. when I found out from a friend at AW that they had dated. I still cannot see that one.

But Grayson Hall was married to DS/OLTL writer Sam Hall for 33 years till she died.
