Heroes:

By 1925 William Haines was Metro Golden Mayer's most important male star, and his films were very profitable for the studio. He was cultivated as a romantic leading man, and his combination of good looks and flair for comedy won him many fans. He made a career out of playing wise-cracking young athletic types whose large egos hold them back until an attitude adjustment leads to success.In 1933, Haines was arrested in a YMCA with a sailor he had picked up in Los Angeles' Pershing Square. Louis B. Mayer, the studio head at MGM, delivered an ultimatum to Haines: choose between a sham marriage or lavender marriage, or his relationship with Jimmy Shields. Haines chose Shields and were ultimately together for 50 years. Mayer subsequently fired Haines and terminated his contract, ending that way his movie career.
