The Daily Mail did an interesting feature on Stanley Baxter a while ago. He is gay but was forced to hide it to save his career ( much like Rock Hudson and others ). He did marry a girl who worked in a theatre he performed at but it turned out to be a marriage of convenience on his part. When he came out she allowed him to bring male friends home to stay before eventually separating.

She died some years ago having suffered mental health problems and he now lives as a recluse.

But he didn’t come out until he was in his 90s and he says he told his wife before they got wed.
