George and Monroe
Here we have a PaJaMa photo of George Platt Lynes and his on again, off again lover Monroe Wheeler. In a parallel to PaJaMa, these two were also involved with Glenway Wescott at the same time.
GPL left a legacy in photography. His final year saw him destitute and dying from cancer. Gloria Swanson of all people kept a correspondence with him until his death. When his fame and fortune faded many of his friends had left him. Rex in DC

Yet there were others such as Glenway Westott, Monroe Wheeler, Marianne Moore, and Glen McCourt who stayed by his side until the end.
DeleteThis is a lovely photo. Both Gloria and Joan Crawford were devoted to their gay friends and didn't give a damn what other people thought. Bless them.
ReplyDeleteBless them indeed.
