Classic Celebrity Quote

"He was a sweetheart. I adored him. He was the biggest movie star in the world, and the rumors were that he was gay. So I thought, 'Let me get an eye on him.' I stood outside his cottage on the Universal lot, pretending to read Variety, which was probably upside down at the time. He walked out and down the street. He looked back once. That was it. I think he had me checked out. I was scared to death. Of course, he was 6-foot-4, a monster. He offered me a beer, but nothing happened. Literally. I was too scared. He said, 'Well, let's get together. I'd come over after work, spend the night and leave the next morning. I'd sneak out at 6 a.m. in my Chevy Nova and coast down the street without turning on the engine so the neighbors wouldn't hear. We thought we were being so clever. Nobody in their right mind came out. It was career suicide. We all pretended to be straight. Once we met Paul Newman and his wife at a premiere. He looked at me and smiled. I just read in his face that maybe he knew Rock and I were together. We kind of laughed about it. He wasn't paranoid."
