There is confirmation from Glenn's son Peter Ford, who is busy writing a biography about his father. Peter is a conservative radio talkshow host and he's understandably proud of his Dad's 'true blue' profile, but even he concedes that the rumours I quoted are just that. He doesn't do much to dispel them, but as far as I can tell he doesn't feed them either. I will ask him how the rumours started, but I am afraid he won't be that interested in discussing it with a Dutch hack, even though the hack is a Glenn fan.

Could you (or anyone) help me with the original question?

Are there other Hollywood stars that are (or were) the subject of such extensive rumours and myths about their past?
