Trivia

Farley Granger

Edit
  • In his book "Original Story By: A Memoir of Broadway and Hollywood," playwright and screenwriter Arthur Laurents detailed his live-in relationship with Granger during the 1940s and '50s. Laurents and Granger were already romantically involved when Laurents wrote the screenplay for Rope (1948), in which Granger co-starred.
  • On the audio commentary for They Live by Night (1948), he says that Alfred Hitchcock and Nicholas Ray were the best directors he ever worked with. In addition, his two favorite films of his own are Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (1951) and Ray's They Live by Night (1948).
  • (1944-45) Served in US Navy during WW II.
  • His longtime partner (since 1963), Robert Calhoun, collaborated with Farley on his 2007 memoir "Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway".
  • One of the last of Samuel Goldwyn's contract players.
  • Granger's first Broadway appearance was in "First Impression," a musical version of "Pride and Prejudice" with Polly Brgen in 1959.
  • Student of Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner.
  • Accompanied by his longtime partner (43 years) and collaborator, Robert Calhoun held a sold out "Evening with Farley Granger" at the Film Forum Theater to promote his autobiography "Include Me Out: My Life From Goldwyn to Broadway". (April 2007)
  • The 6 May 1970, issue of "Variety", in the Italian Films Shooting column, lists the movie "Violence" as filming in Morocco with director Damiano Damiani, actors Susan Strasberg, Farley Granger, Woody Strode, Adolfo Celi and Terry Hill. Preproduction companies were Nyima Films and Western Intl. of Los Angeles. Distributor was Paris-Etoile. There is no evidence the film was ever completed or distributed.
