Actor William Haines, 1930.
Haines starred in a string of hits in the 1920's and was for several years a top-five star, but when MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer discovered Haines's homosexuality, Haines was given an ultimatum: enter into a sham marriage or end his relationship with partner Jimmie Shields. Haines chose his partner and Mayer subsequently fired him and terminated his contract, giving the roles that had been planned for him to Robert Montgomery. Haines made a few minor films afterwards but soon retired; his last film was made in 1934.
Haines and Shields stayed together until Haines's death and together they became a successful interior design duo and also dealt antiques. Their first clients included their friends Joan Crawford, Gloria Swanson, Carole Lombard, Marion Davies and George Cukor. Crawford described them as "the happiest married couple in Hollywood." Their clients even included a future president; Ronald and Nancy Reagan used their services when he was Governor of California.
