Descripción del sitio
This beautiful street has been a favorite address for leaders in the
arts and entertainment industry since the 1920s. Among its illlustrious
gay and lesbian residents were poet
Marianne Moore (No. 14), playwright/director
Arthur Laurents (No. 9), and painters
Paul Cadmus and
Jared French (No. 5), who numbered British novelist
E.M. Forster
amoung their houseguests. Residents who had roles in raising gay
"consciousness" were author Sherwood Anderson (No. 12), whose 1920s
novel
Winesburg, Ohio is
notable for its sympathetic treatment of gay characters, and comedian
Flip Wilson (No. 3) whose drag character "Geraldine" flirted
outrageously with handsome male guest stars on national television in
the 1960s.
