“(Charles) Laughton was one of the most pugnaciously morose men I had ever met. His huge talent seemed to endorse his implacable resentment. His Caliban self-portraiture must have been further agnozied by being incarcerated, like so many of his unhappy generation, in that closet which dared not speak its name. Even his large collection of Klees and Kokoshchkas was displayed as trophies of martyrdom rather than joyful plunder.” ActorsGayHomosexualityAutobiographyMorose1950sIn The ClosetCharles Laughton Book:Looking Back: Never Explain, Never Apologise Source: Looking Back: Never Explain, Never Apologise
