William “Billy” Haines (1900-1973) foi um grande ator americano na década de 1920 e início da década de 1930, durante o pré-código de Hollywood. Haines fugiu de casa aos 14 anos com um jovem que ele chamava de “namorado” para Hopewell, VA, onde abriram um salão de dança/bordel. A cidade de Hopewell foi destruída por um incêndio em 1915 e, eventualmente, Billy seguiu para Nova York e Greenwich Village, onde sua boa aparência o levou a modelar e a fazer pequenos trabalhos de atuação. Ele foi descoberto por um caçador de talentos e ganhou um concurso do Goldwyn Studios em 1922, enviando-o para Hollywood no início de sua era dourada, onde atuou em mais de 50 filmes.

Em 1926, em uma viagem de volta à cidade de Nova York, Billy conheceu um marinheiro de 21 anos chamado Jimmie Shields e o convenceu a viajar de volta para Los Angeles com ele, onde eram um casal assumidamente gay. Em 1931, a MGM queria uma mudança na imagem de Billy. Ele vivia abertamente gay e sua atuação em Way out West fez Louis B Mayer querer “masculiná-lo”. Em "A Tailor Made Man" ele interpretou um “homem feminino”. E em seus próximos filmes, ele foi instruído a deixar os maneirismos femininos de fora de sua atuação. Em 1933, depois que Haines foi preso em um YMCA com um marinheiro, Louis B. Mayer, então chefe do Goldwyn Studios (que se funde com a MGM), deu a Haines um ultimato - escolha seu namorado Jimmie Shields ou sua carreira. Mayer sugeriu um “casamento lilás” em que Haines se casaria com uma mulher, para esconder sua homossexualidade. Billy supostamente respondeu: “Já sou casado, desistirei de Jimmy quando você desistir de sua esposa”.

Ele parou de atuar em 1935, quando se recusou a negar sua sexualidade e começou um negócio de design de interiores de sucesso com seu parceiro Jimmie Shields, onde eles projetaram algumas das casas mais elaboradas para estrelas em décadas.

Sua boa amiga e cliente Joan Crawford descreveu os homens como “o casal mais feliz de Hollywood”. Billy e Jimmie permaneceram um casal pelos 50 anos seguintes, até a morte de Haines em 1973.

William “Billy” Haines (1900-1973) was a huge American actor in the 1920’s and early 1930’s during pre-code Hollywood. Haines ran away from home at age 14 with a young man he called a “boyfriend” to Hopewell, VA where they opened a dance hall/brothel. The town of Hopewell was destroyed by fire in 1915 and eventually Billy made his way to New York City and Greenwich Village, where his good looks landed him modeling and small acting jobs. He was discovered by a talent scout and won a Goldwyn Studios contest in 1922, sending him to Hollywood at the dawn of its golden era where he starred in over 50 movies.

In 1926 on a trip back to New York City, Billy met a 21 year old sailor named Jimmie Shields and convinced him to travel back to Los Angeles with him where they were an openly gay couple.

By 1931 MGM wanted a change for Billy’s image. He was living openly gay and his performance in Way out West made Louis B Mayer want to “butch” him up. In A Tailor Made Man he played a “ladies man”. And his next films he was told to leave the feminine mannerisms out of his performance.

In 1933, after Haines was arrested at a YMCA with a sailor, Louis B. Mayer, then the head of Goldwyn Studios (which merges into MGM), gave Haines an ultimatum — choose either his boyfriend Jimmie Shields or his career. Mayer suggested a “lavender marriage” in which Haines would marry a woman, to conceal his homosexuality. Billy allegedly replied, “I’m already married, I’ll give up Jimmy when you give up your wife”.

He quit acting in 1935 when he refused to deny his sexuality and started a successful interior design business with his life partner Jimmie Shields where they designed some of the most elaborate homes for stars for decades.

Their good friend and client Joan Crawford described the men as “the happiest married couple in Hollywood.” Billy and Jimmie remained a couple for the next 50 years until Haines’ death in 1973.
