In a traffic rarely lets you lead your own life, Farley Granger led some.
Professionally? He starred in Hollywood classics directed by Alfred Hitchcock and Nicholas Ray. He worked with Luchino Visconti in Europe, with Julie Harris played on stage - and that foreign cheesy shockers as "The Red-Headed Body" and "Something Is Crawling in the Dark."
Personally? He had love affairs with Shelley Winters, Ava Gardner - and Leonard Bernstein.And then there were all least once during the Second World War when he lost his virginity twice in one night - first to a charming woman in a brothel, then a fine officer waiting outside.
"Well, Granger said with a smile offend, I was much younger."
At a time when most men are looking back to life, Granger, 81, is looking back to many.
The briefs were unflappable in "Include Me Out: My Life Goldwyn to Broadway" (St. Martin), a montage of memories made long with his alter ego Robert Calhoun.Some will be trotted when Granger is at the Film Forum - and an afternoon of great spring in her apartment in Central Park, it provides an overview infinitesimal. Who was the worst co-star he ever had? (Probably the selfish Danny Kaye in "Hans Christian Andersen.") What's strangest mysteries that Hollywood has to share? (Ann Miller was wearing a rubber nose to cover a botched rhinoplasty.) Charming and chatty, Granger behind him a great career, between nibbles on a cookie-Elephant's ear.
