I am interested in finding out some personal info on this actor. For instance, is he married and to whom? Does he have children? Where does he call home. What are his latest hobbies. I had heard that he was killed in a car accident years ago.
I was/am a fan. Has he written a book on his life?

I had the pleasure of interviewing him some years ago - we spent about a half day together. He is a very nice, intelligent man. I believe he pretty much calls his farm in Iowa home now. I know he is always interested in directing and in independent film - of course, when he was doing independent film, it cost $10,000 - the price and the stakes have gone up considerably. He appears on TV from time to time. He gave me a script of his to read - it was very interesting and very different. When I spoke to him, he was on his way to Brazil or something, so I think he travels a lot. I can't speak to the gay rumors but I can tell you he has been involved with women if his script was any indication. By the way, I am a woman, but he wasn't involved with me - darn!

I have heard he's gay too. I know he is involved with a group in Fairfield Iowa of Trancendental Meditators. Actually they have their own city within the city called Vedic City.
Richard's actually listed in the phone book and I'd love to contact him because I only live 30 miles away. I feel its too intrusive to call his home, so I wish I could find an e-mail addy for him. Maybe I'll just write a letter. -

I fell in love with him as Tony in West Side Story. What a handsome face he had.
He was special. I'm watching The Longest Day now and was surprised to see him in it.
It's an interesting psychological phenomenon. -

I can't speak to the gay rumors but<<
Oh. That explains things. One of my major complaints with West Side Story (though I am a fan because I like so many other parts) is the casting of Richard Beymer who I thought was extremely effeminate in the movie. I had to look down during his "dancing down the street scene" because he sort of "leaped" so effeminately.
I have always wondered if it was just a matter of "wrong actor-wrong movie." Maybe I need to see another movie of his

Geeze!!! Why does everyone assume unmarried, childl5b4ess adults;especially those in Hollyweird are "gay?"
Whatever Richard's life situation is, I'm sure he's happy and I wish him the Best!
Guess what? I'm NOT married, have NO childrenAND I'm NOT gay! LOL
