Figure he's got some kind of Stockholm syndrome?


Maybe as a kid he just wanted to run for POTUS in the worst possible way? The GOP probably figured things were lost anyways, but the whole thing still makes me really question if a fix is often in. I mean, guy says he doesn't believe women should be paid the same as men and he stood there like a statue. I give him the Steve Lombardi award.

John Mahoney, 77

Probably best known as the dad on Frasier.

Dang, I like him. I suspect his limp on Frasier was acting. Can anyone confirm or deny?

He never limped in any role before of after.
The limp was a major part of the storyline,
it's why he had a live-in physical therapist.
He was shot on duty as a cop.

Frasier had two Gay actors playing straight men,
John Mahoney and David Hyde Pierce. I also
found it odd that Mahoney was only 14 years
older then Frasier, and was playing his father.
He never looked old enough to me.

John Amos was only 8 years older than Jimmy Walker and played his dad on Good Times.

I didn't know either was gay. David Hyde Pierce doesn't surprise me.

I can top that, Estelle Getty, born 7/25/23, who played Sophia Petrillo, Dorothy's mother on the Golden Girls, was actually younger than Bea Arthur, born 5/13/22, who played Dorothy, in real life.

Burt Lancaster was Gay, he kept it
hidden behind 3 marriages and 5
kids. He was often seen at Gay
parties in the late 40's and into
the 50's with Rock Hudson, another
closet Gay. Some who knew him well
say he was a sex addict and would go
crazy at the Gay orgies, screwing as many
men as he could.
