Gender: Female Race or Ethnicity: White Sexual orientation: Matter of Dispute [1] Occupation: Actor Nationality: United States Executive summary: Only Angels Have Wings Director Frank Capra's favorite actress. [1] Donald Spoto, Blue Angel: The Life of Marlene Dietrich (1992), "Charter member of America's creative lesbian community." Boze Hadleigh, Behind the Screen (2001), "Yes, Anna Q. Nilsson may have been a lesbian, and so might have Jean Arthur. Burt Lancaster may have had affairs with men, and Henry Wilcoxon may have routinely picked up male hitchhikers for sex. But beyond a few anecdotes, their stories offer little to illuminate what life was like for gay men and lesbians of Hollywood." Paul Rosner's roman à clef, The Princess and the Goblin (1966), purportedly about Arthur's relationship with Mary Martin, is entirely invented.
