We won’t ever know, of course. But it’s kind of hot to fantasize about.
A tabloid got a hold of an excerpt from the upcoming book Hollywood Babylon Strikes Again (sounds wonderful) where Donovan (real name Cal Culver) told an interviewer that he and Reeve were fucking in the ’70s, when it was a lot more fun to experiment with your sexuality.
In the chat, the porn star says, “Christopher was a great lover and I think I liberated him sexually. I didn’t think he was gay but he seemed willing to try anything once. He was curious.”
Culver calls Reeve “the man of my dreams” and reveals the two men had a passionate affair that lasted for two months – until the future Superman learned his partner was a gay porn star.
Culver, who died of an AIDS-related illness, told the unnamed interviewer he met Reeve when both were auditioning for the same Broadway role in the mid-1970s.
I guess now’s as good a time as any to go on the record and admit that I too had a passionate affair with Christopher Reeve, but it was in the mid-1990s, when he was in the wheelchair :(
Donovan is best known for the film Boys In The Sand, and he also starred in Falcon’s The Other Side Of Aspen, as seen below.
Casey Donovan was in a long term relationship with actor/novelist Tom Tryon.
to answer frank’s question, chris reeve was on love of life in the 70’s playing ben harper who was raped in prison. the audiance didn’t like the story line.
why didn’t i get the confirming email for my comment?
Yes, but was Christopher Reeves a celebrity back then?
Casey Donovan was probably the first “mainstream” gay porn star, in fact I thought I read “Boys in the Sand” when released in the 70s practically was playing on big screen theaters in Manhattan. Remember (even from films) what Manhattan was like in the 70s? Studio 54? “Midnight Cowboy”? I have no doubt Casey Donovan had his share of closeted and probably not-so closeted male celebrities.
UGH! Chris and I were fucking in the 90’s too but he told me I was his first!!
