Frankly, Nina, I wondered the very same thing for the same reasons you mention. I suppose we will never know, though. I take very few of these "tell-all" tales at face value. They are always for publicity as much as they are confessions.

: I never believed one word of it. It did make
: for a great story. What man, gay or straight
: wasn't in love with Elizabeth Taylor? I'm
: sure he made a great walker and supportive
: friend. I bet they both tossed back a few as
: well. He was attractive, sexy, well spoken,
: versed in Shakespeare, knew how to treat a
: woman, was probably very doting and loved
: old Hollywood.
:
: Taylor loved gay men as we all know, from
: Monty Clift, Rock Hudson, James Dean,
: Malcolm Forbes, Roddy McDowell etc. She
: loved being around men and they loved being
: with her. I can't even picture them
: together. I can see him pulling out a chair
: and bringing her a martini, but I can't
: picture them dancing together let alone
: being under the covers.

: Wait until you see the scene where Luke and
: Helena meet. He was flummoxed...forgot his
: lines. I think he was stunned by her. It's
: not hard to believe that they made a real
: connection soon after. I remember reading
: "in the day" that he accompanied
: her to Natalie Wood's funeral. He was
: spotted at her vacation home in Mexico on
: New Year's Day. He admits now that they had
: a 2 year affair even though he denied it at
: the time. During this period, he was doing
: some guest TV appearances. There was one
: that was VERY surprising because it included
: scenes with Tony and Richard Burton (on a
: Bob Hope special). For those who came to GH
: later, it would be hard to understand just
: how impressive it was for a soap star to go
: so main stream. Even Susan Lucci didn't
: reach those heights. But Geary did. For a
: guy who never really liked celebrity and
: valued his privacy, he sure got a taste of
: it.

: We just got to the clip where the servants
: are rushing, preparing for Helena.
:
: My wife goes, who is this all for? Then
: Elizabeth Taylor steps in. She goes
: "Who is that? Wait...is that Elizabeth
: Taylor???". I said yes, and she goes
: "That's HUGE!".
