Was Robert Preston gay

Answer 1

It is highly unlikely that Robert Preston was gay, despite the fact that he played a convincing gay role in "Victor Victoria".

Mr. Preston served honorably, in combat, with the Army Air Corps during WWII, and when he returned from the war in 1946 he married his old sweetheart from Pasadena, Miss Kay Feltus (aka "Catherine Craig"), and was married to her until his death from cancer in 1987.

Answer 2

Nope - Robert Preston was not gay. He was straight and a womanizer who had relationships with Dorothy Lamour while he was dating his wife and then engaged in extra-marital relationships with Peggy Lee, Glynis Johns, and Ulla Sallert during his 40+ year marriage to his wife, Catherine - and even had a child with one of his lovers. He was a versatile actor who could play various roles convincingly - from a foreign legion fighter, gambler, gunslinger, evil teacher, con man, southern plantation owner, wagon master, quack doctor, and a gay man in 1930s Paris. You don't have to be a brain surgeon to play one on film, and you don't have to be gay to portray a gay man on screen. Anyone can make up titillating stories about celebrities after they're dead to get attention; read the 2022 biography that was published about Robert Preston's life - it tells the whole story based on fact, not unsubstantiated rumors

Answer 5

Preston was NOT gay. Read his biography titled Robert Preston: Forever The Music Man. He was, however, a progressive, forward-thinking man who called out homophobia and held the belief that gay men were just regular men who happened to be attracted to men. He was presented with an award from the gay community after his portrayal of Toddy in Victor/Victoria. The fact that there are rumors about his sexuality speaks to his skill and range as an actor: he was a straight man who was able to convincingly play the part of a gay man.
