Denham Fouts..1914-1948.  Most sought after and expensive male prostitute [escort] of the early 20th Century.“…if Fouts had slept with Hitler, as Hitler wished, he could have saved the world from the Second World War…” – Ned Rorem recounting a quote by Truman Capote in George Plimpton’s Truman CapoteDenham Fouts was a socialite at best, a hanger-on at worst and undeniably the most influential hustler of the last century. He’s appeared in books by Christopher Isherwood, Gore Vidal and Truman Capote, and popped up in the memoirs of countless artists, writers and royals. He sat for famed photographer George Platt Lynes, and apparently lay down with the French actor, Jean Marais. Mr. Isherwood, one of his closest friends, referred to him as, ‘the most expensive male prostitute in the world,’ and ‘the last of the professional tapettes,’ with ‘a lean hungry-looking tanned face,’ his ‘eyes set on different levels, as in a Picasso painting…’ Mr. Vidal described him as “good looking in a cadaverous way.’ Whatever the case, no one can deny the sheer force of his ability to inspire in others what he was unable to achieve himself.http://www.christophertrout.com/hello-world/2010/03/18 -- source link
