Burt Lancaster’s Close Friend FINALLY REVEALED What We Knew All Along 

For me, always a great contest between Lancaster and Douglas. But after reading about both their characters in more recent years, Lancaster was most definitely the man to admire.

Please put the right photos with the right people.

I think he was a greater actor than Marlon Brando.

Photo of Montgomery Clift shown while talking about Burt. Get it right for crying out loud.

Funny how so many people are happy to hear about, and often want to hear about an actor's heterosexual life, their marriages and children, but when talk of someone's gay or bisexual nature of some actors comes out, then the prejudices of some fans come out. "They don't want to hear it" is the frequent refrain. Every actor is not gay. But many are, and many are bisexual. In the early decades of film actors had to hide or supress their homosexuality or their careers would be over. Whether we are talking about Lancaster, Cary Grant, Tyrone Power or Katherine Hepburn, the reality of their sexual orientation and the pressure to even go as far as live as heterosexual was intense. And the studios manufactured the myths that they were heterosexual to keep up their popularity with the movie-going public. And the publib bought those myths, hook, line and sinker. Prior to Stonewall in 1969, most gay men got married to women, functioned as best they could within those marriages in a compartmentalized fahsion but usually led secret other lives on the side. It was even more true with many actors. Thank goodness those days are mostly over. Today great actors like Matt Bomer and Andrew Scott don't have to hide their homosexuality while they portray leading (straight) men on the screen. The FBI maintained a file on Burt Lancaster and when released as well as some interviews with members of the Lancaster revealed that Lancaster suffered from life-long depression, was bisexual and had many short-term relationships with men, not only between his three failed marriages but during them.

An actor having cosmetic enhancement is hardly a "revelation"!

Burt Lancaster was a Wonderful Actor. Can you imagine, Never took an acting lesson, That's Talent. I believe he and Kirk Douglas appeared 5-7 times. He was one of a Kind. Burt and Sidney Poitier were at the 1963 March on Washington. There were in a Television Movie, By the name of Separate But Equal, Co starring Clevon Little and Richard Kiley Directed by George Stevens Jr. May Mr. Lancaster Rip Always 🙏

A wonderful actor and versatile as well. I don't care about celebrities private lives. They are entitled to some privacy. From Here to Eternity is one of my favorites. What a great era!

One of my favorite actors- I think my favorite role Apache.

Europe tore Burt from the claws of Holywood, where he would have remained a beefcackling actor till his dying days. Legendary directors like Bertolucci, Negrin, Visconti! A handsome, dignified man. All America had left was the icky Kirk Douglas (at least his son Michael showed SOME talent 🙂)

No mention of THE SWIMMER (1968), arguably his greatest role?

He never took not one acting lesson. His brother was a NYC policeman. My father knew his brother. He was an NYPD lieutenant. After his brother retired from the PD, he went and lived with Burt. Unfortunatly, his brother died a little while afterwards.

Photos and text are ;mismatched, so results are unreliable.

The best actor ever. When one dies , anyone can say what they want rather true or false. And that person can't deny or approve.

If we knew it all along, it couldn't be much of a revelation.

Few actors have this greatness.

at 7:21 that's Ann-Margret and her husband Roger Smith. At 2:10 I believe that's him in the movie The Swimmer----that was an interesting role and I don't believe it was mentioned here.

A movie actor had cosmetic surgery! Big surprise.

You barely mentioned "The Train." You didn't bring up "Elmer Gantry." That's where he won his academy award. His performance in "Airport" was great, but he thought the film was ridiculous. The only reason he took it was because of the big cash he would make for the film.

Birdman of Alcatraz was a good movie.

My favorite actor. 💙💙💙

deBORah Cur? No . DEBrah Car.

I actually met him in the late sixties when I was about fourteen. H e was very kind and patient as I told him my exploits as a very poor middle school gymnast.

Bert i thank you for all the films you made for us ..God Bless you.../

BIG SECRET: plastic surgery. The photos don't match the soundtrack and will confuse anybody under 40. Actually, I believe that everybody involved in this project IS under 40 and can't tell the difference between Burt and Monty Clift and have never heard of Ann-Margret.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've never given any thought as to whether Burt Lancaster had plastic surgery or not. He was 63 in 1976 when the film was released, so this would not be a shocking revelation. B.F.D. However, I am not hearing Bernardo Bertolucci say this, I'm hearing someone say he said this, and they are both deceased. They are not alive to confirm or deny things said about them. I can find no Bernardo Bertolucci interviews on the internet where he mentions Burt Lancaster at all. Anyone can look up Burt Lancaster's movie career on IMDb and again, he is not alive to confirm or deny the stories about his affairs with men or women.

So true, he always stole the show and captured so many peoples' hearts. Well.........I dreamed about him!

It's pronounced "Deb ruh car"

One of the true greats!! Love everything, he was in!

I appreciate that the ‘shocking’ news was not his bisexuality, but rather his facial cosmetic surgery. 💯

Amazing actor. Many incredible films.

So, Cliff & Lancaster were the same person??? That makes "From here to Eternaty" an even better film...

I love that Burt was one of the most masculine actors ever, but also bisexual.

The photo at 1:25 is not Burt Lancaster. It is Montgomery Clift. I can’t believe this mistake!! Very poor editing.

Why would you put another actors picture in his bio?

so the big secret we waited for was - he had a facelift? WOW! I can barely contain myself. What next? He used condensed milk instead of cream in his coffee?

It's pronounced CAR (Deborah Kerr).

So after reading the disclaimer that in part states, "Viewers should not interpret any part of the content as factual or definitive information." Why bother watching/listening to the video? Aren't there enough lies floating around the media these days without manufacturing content to feed the public's obsession with stars?

Who cares he lived is life . 4:46

It is pronounced DEB-er-ah Kahr, last name pronounced like “car”, not “cur”

He had lots good movies ,but I think sweet smell of success

God only Knows in re:to the fate of Burt Lancaster what the opposite path would've been as asked in the follow-up at end of this video.

I think Burt Lancaster played in some unusually complex, non-macho roles, unlike the average Hollywood leading man.

and no mention of ELMER GANTRY when he WON HIS OSCAR???????

and the interpretation of the prince of Salina in The Leopard? one of the most beautiful films of the 20th century,

I WONDER IF FACE LIFT WAS BEFORE THE SWIMMER 1968

At 1:30 that is Montgomery Clift!!!

A great and corageous man and actor. Who cares about his private life, haven't we all one?

that's DEB-or-ah CAR! prnunciation, please!

Favorite Lancaster flick: Rocket Gibraltar ...

It was said by a famous actor wend you act together lancaster out class any body with his acting

I thought this was going to be interesting. But a Hollywood actor who had plastic surgery? That’s news? More like it’s news when they don’t get it.

A great actor and a WW11.hero.

A person's private life is his or her Concern no one else's, private means private, don't mock the dead just to make money out of newspapers and they can't defend them selves

Uhhh. . . .. Lancaster did win the Oscar for Elmer Gantry. No mention of that here.

no mention of "Local Hero"....

How do we know this "close friend" is really telling the truth. He may be insane or may not really be a friend.

Legend

Isn't it a prerequisite for every Hollywood Actor to be Gay or Bisexual! That's not a question it seems to be fact! All of the queer cowboys Playing tough guy's and in reality they would have pissed all over themselves and cry if they ever had to be tough in real life! I'm not putting Lancaster in that category but it certainly wouldn't have surprised me! Peter Puffin Cowboys were everywhere in Hollywood during his career!

Is this a high school assignment... score C-

Os encantaría subtítulos en español no. Os enteramos y somos fan de lancaster

So what? A Hollywood movie star has a facelift. Doesn't diminish Lancaster one iota.

"De bora Cur." Yup. The voice sounds real, but it ain't. it's the Flame and the Arrow and the Crimson Pirate with his buddy Nick Cravat that I remember him for.

Also veracruz

I think it's pronounced "Debra", not DebORa.

So he used his good looks to hustle fame and glory so what welcome to planet Earth

great show

Shame the narration mispronounces Deborah

This is shoddy. What about Elmer Gantry, for which he received the Oscar?

Big whoop.

Cheeta never took acting lessons

At age 6, in 1952, the very first color movie that I ever saw was Burt's "The Crimson Pirate"! He seemed the epitome of good looks, strength & natural ability, to be a "movie star'! (I have always thought that had the "Batman" series been made in the 50's, he would have been perfect for the role!) While some of his portrayals may have been a little "over the top", he never failed to entertain! It's hard to believe that such a handsome man would ever need extensive plastic surgery!

Grandparents were Belfast Protestants.

Surprising he was bisexual

De bora a ker can't you pronounce her name correct DEBORAH is DEBORAH and KERR like CAR

Well, maybe some of this is true.

Weird pronunciations and pictures.

And ........... ?

Could all be a pack of lies.

Who were his male affairs?⭐️👍

He always came across as a bit 'over the top' to be credible!

You know, I am tired of hearing how every actor out there is actually gay. I am sure all actors have plenty of chances to be gay, but I am sick of hearing about it. Sometimes it may not even be true although I am sure some of them were gay, drug addicts and many other negative things. However, I also think these people or forces out there who make these videos enjoy tearing down everyone's favorite movie star and dragging their image through some tarnished reality about them. These people who make these videos can't even get the right picture to match who they are alking about so the whole thing seems like trash. Probably only Burt Lancaster himself knows how much is true or not.

Close friend? Oh God, "a vocal advocate for causes" -- then, as now, you toe the "liberal" party line if you expect to go on working in movies. The "liberal" blacklisting is worse than ever now.

Most actors are weird

Machine generated script and voice. They all sound the same. Lots of superlatives and no soul.

Peccato ke nn tutti sappiano Lingua Inglese....

The Leopard - 1963, cel mai bun rol al sau !

1:06;yes,SO unfashionable to be English in America isn't it,but not an Irish Republican though!🥱 BORING!Play a different tune Sam!

The only role that I felt was believable was that of a a charlatan evangelist.

Never cared for him.

Are you a liar because you said;" Burt Lancaster had affairs with women 'and men' " Burt Lancaster was HETEROSEXUAL.

Cut it off early. Seeing picture that were not Burt Lancaster but other actors. You needed to do better editing.

Lancaster is an English name, not irish.
