Longtime Companions
John Tristram and Forrester Millard by AMG. In one of the Physique Pictorial issues Bob Mizer told us John and Forrester spent lots of time with each other -- on and off the set. I think Mizer was saying these two were in a relationship.
I'm not surprised at all. The Kinsey scale has a few numbers on it and not everyone is a 0 or a 6. Up until the 70's most guys who could pass, got married. There are lots of rumors about several married "straight" nude models.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, there were lots of rumors.
DeleteJames IV, I read that John Tristram died in 1985 at age 50. Do you happen to know what it was that took this beautiful man from our midst when he was so young?
DeleteHIV complications. I've read that somewhere at least two different sources.
DeleteA 6 is probably the rarest, per statistics. Strangely everyone thinks 1 to 5 is rarer. Go figure.
DeleteSad about him dying of HIV.
always heard the rumor that the lovely mr. tristram was james mason's go-to in hollywood--i know tristram was later in academia and died of hiv.....
ReplyDeleteYeah, I heard he a few Hollywood celebs on his roster.
Deletei read that we went to UCLA and eventually taught French there.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually Los Angeles City College where John taught French
ReplyDeletelanguage and literature. He died of AIDS in 1985. - Rj
Forrester has a big, knowing grin like the Cheshire Cat, as if to let Mizer know John was quite the catch. Tristram should have been in a posing strap to expose his fine ass....:)
