Film historian Kevin Brownwing, author of 'The Golden Grope - A History of
Hollywood Harassment' writes about John Wayne's use of casting sessions to
seduce young males.
"During the 1940s the outwardly conservative and heterosexual Wayne would
regularly attend screen tests with director John Ford, in order to size up
potential conquests. He'd get Ford to order the young hopefuls to take off
their shirts and enact scenes which required them to lift heavy objects or
bend over a lot."
Wayne's conquests allegedly included Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea and
Montgomery Clift, 'with whom he had a torrid affair during the making of Red
River in 1948'.
