Geoffrey Holder

Let's discuss the Caribbean dancer, actor, and musician Geoffrey Holder.

On the stage, he has danced with all the big names: Josephine Baker, Alvin Ailey, Martha Graham, and even Bert Lehr.

He appeared in some very famous films: Porgy and Bess, Doctor Dolittle, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask, Live and Let Die, Annie, Boomerang, and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.

When not working, he enjoyed painting, collecting books, and listening to classical music.

30 years ago, there was a Broadway fundraiser on EBay and celebrities contributed their own original works of art. Jeffrey Holder donated a pair of hand painted denim jeans that he signed. They were loud and colorful, oversized, iirc. Since EBay was new and relatively unknown the items being auctioned were all pretty affordable. Nothing sold for over a few hundred dollars. I wanted to bid, but had just graduated college and was looking for work. I really wanted those jeans. I wonder who won that auction.

Definitely HOMOSEXUAL

I doubt it. He was married to the same woman for years. If you watch the documentary, you can tell they were in love with each other.

R12- I agree

I doubt Richard Simmons is homosexual.
