19 Gay Men Who Were Once Married to Women

10. Vincente Minnelli

The late stage and film director is famous for classic movie musicals such as Meet Me in St. Louis, Gigi, The Band Wagon, and An American in Paris. He was married four times. His first marriage was to actress Judy Garland from 1945 until 1951 and they were the parents of Liza Minnelli. He later married Georgette Magnani from 1954 until 1958, Danica “Denise” Radosavljevic (1962-1971), and Margaretta Lee Anderson from 1980 until his death in July 1986. There was speculation in the entertainment industry for years that Minnelli was either gay or bisexual. A biography by Emanuel Levy, Vincente Minnelli: Hollywood’s Dark Dreamer, claims evidence that Minnelli lived as an openly gay man in New York before moving to Hollywood. Levy stated: “He was openly gay in New York – we were able to document names of companions and stories from Dorothy Parker. But when he came to Hollywood, I think he made the decision to repress that part of himself or to become bisexual.”
