maxwell caulfield, a name often associated with 1980s cinema, faced early career perceptions that sometimes overshadowed his genuine acting abilities. initially labelled a superficial heartthrob from the era, his theatrical talent emerged more prominently later on.
however, by that point, public perception had already largely solidified. persistent gay rumors circulated in los angeles during his peak, though they carried less weight as his leading-man status began to wane.
the narrative surrounding caulfield suggests a period where he may have alienated industry connections, potentially hindering his subsequent career trajectory.
a notable interview offered insights into his personality, with one observer describing him as exceptionally kind, intelligent, and self-aware. there are also accounts of him performing in a stage production on 42nd street around two decades ago. during this play, he was reportedly nude for a brief period, with his appearance visible only from the back.
an anecdote from a friend suggested that securing a seat on the extreme right side of the front row might offer a clearer view of him.
the description of his physique was positive, though the effort to see him was deemed not worthwhile, especially considering the play itself was forgettable. questions have been raised about the nature of his marriage to juliet mills, specifically the timing of their union and whether it served as a "lavender marriage" to mask his sexuality, given her previous divorce from another husband.
by the time caulfield appeared on the television series the colbys, when the commentator was around fifteen, his appeal had diminished in their eyes.
this observation led to a reflection on the fleeting nature of youthful attractiveness in the entertainment industry. another perspective countered this, arguing that caulfield maintained his attractiveness, if not enhanced it, on the colbys compared to his role in grease 2.
this viewpoint suggests that while he was undeniably a handsome man, the commentator's personal capacity to be captivated by him had shifted.
memories of his stage nudity in the early 1980s surfaced, which was apparently a significant event in the tri-state area at the time. one account places him naked on stage in a small theatre, just a few rows away, standing still. this appearance was part of a play with jessica Tandy and has been described as "spectacular." the comparison is made to terence stamp in "billy budd," where caulfield's hairstyle, a high pompadour, was initially seen as unflattering, but his appearance was softened by wind-tousled hair on deck, creating a more beautiful effect.
further commentary directs those seeking to engage in "pointless bitchery" to seek other platforms, encouraging contributions and offering an ad-free experience for active participants.
the marriage of maxwell caulfield to juliet mills, when he was twenty and she was seventy-three, is noted for its longevity, irrespective of the genders involved. there's also mention of him performing a full frontal scene on broadway. persistent speculation about his sexual orientation continues, with some sensing a strong bisexual vibe from him.
a missed opportunity to see him nude on stage is lamented.
a particular snippet from a linked article suggests that from the outset of his career, caulfield projected more than just an image. questions about his current activities, such as escorting, are posed, alongside a desire to experience his company.
a humorous exchange follows regarding a gif animation and a comment about his youthful beauty versus his current appearance, including a hairpiece and balding. the term "surreal" beauty is questioned, and his perceived attempts to maintain his appearance are described as "pathetic," drawing a comparison to a future nick jonas.
there's a self-deprecating admission of embarrassment regarding a personal confession.
his residence in the uk is noted, making personal observation more challenging, with a playful declaration of wanting to "milk him dry." his enduring sex appeal is emphasized.
a correction is made regarding juliet mills' name, and a statement confirms his gay identity. however, a subsequent comment suggests that he and juliet mills reside in southern california, though he had been touring in the uk for eighteen months at the time of the comment.
a point about his age being potentially misrepresented is raised, with speculation that he might have been a hung eighteen-year-old.
a playful interjection expresses anticipation of seeing him. the extended absence for touring is highlighted. he was reportedly cast as the studio head in "singing in the rain," and there are mentions of previous theatrical tours with mills.
he is consistently described as a pleasant and amiable individual. his performance in "empire records" is noted, along with an appearance in esquire magazine. a somewhat aggressive remark encourages composure.
the statement "he is still sex on a stick" is made, though its exact meaning is unclear.
the sentiment is described as refreshing, and a thank you is extended for the post. a reference to following "greg" on twitter and facebook is included. jeremy is acknowledged for his well-articulated thoughts, which are said to echo the sentiments of many gay men who were first drawn to maxwell caulfield after seeing him in grease 2 opposite michelle pfeiffer.
in an interview, maxwell caulfield discussed pivotal film roles, his time on the colbys, his enduring marriage to actress juliet mills, and his current role in "the odd couple" at the laguna playhouse.
his ability to control narratives and make situations about himself is observed. he expresses initial uncertainty about portraying the character felix, citing the character's self-absorption, hypochondria, and obsession with cleanliness.
another aspect of the interview that resonated was caulfield's reminiscence of his early years as an actor in new york city.
he describes the pre-pandemic era as a vibrant period of social activity, particularly mentioning fire island, with its tea dances and active social scene. he emphasizes that interactions were consensual and driven by a general love for life, with some individuals seeking more private experiences while others continued to socialize.
the loss of friends during that period is acknowledged, and he feels fortunate to have experienced it.
