The ORIGINAL ASIB Actress was a Trailblazing LGBT Legend

So everyone is talking about how Gaga is following in the steps of Judy Garland and Barbara Streisand with the new ASIB, but few are talking about the original actress to star in the first version from 1937, Janet Gaynor.

Because I have no social life and spend too much time reading Wikipedia articles to distract from the gaping emptiness in my soul, I've recently learned a lot about Janet and she seems like an underrated LEGEND. First of all she was the first actress to get an Oscar for Best Actress. Like period. It was literally the first Oscars ceremony in the history of ever. But she also received the Oscar for THREE MOVIES AT THE SAME TIME. 

Also many people believe that she was either gay or bi. Although she had been married to a man before, she eventually formed a "lavender" marriage to a man who had been openly gay in the film industry (VERY ahead of his time) named Adrian Greenberg who was a famous costume designer that designed the costumes for The Wizard of Oz. Most people just knew him by "Adrian" because like Cher, girl only needed one name. 

Eventually she would be romantically linked to different women including Mary Martin, who was famous for playing Peter Pan on TV. I've always found the idea of gay romances in Old Hollywood to be very fascinating and thought it was interesting that Gaga was following in the footsteps of a (probably) bisexual icon.

Interesting info! I didn't know that at all.

Peculiar that every ASIB main actress is some sort of LGBT icon.

Honestly I'm convinced that there's actually a secret society of gay unicorn blood that's been carried down from generations.
