1948-1958/
Not
long ago the news was filled with the details of a
ridiculous raid in
New York City. The Department of
Homeland Security had raided the
offices of a website called
“RentBoys”.
One
of the most famous “rentboys” in the past was Denny Fouts. His
career spanned the 30's and 40's.
He
is called the twentieth century's most famous male prostitute. A
young good looking boy from Florida whose grasp on how to use his
sexuality propelled him to great heights. He befriended and bedded
the rich and celebrated: in the process Fouts conquered the world.
His
benefactors were a series of wealthy male and females. His friends,
included such notables as Christopher Isherwood and Truman Capote.
Isherwood described him as an almost mythic figure, "the most
expensive male prostitute in the world" and Capote called him
the "Best-Kept Boy in the World".
Fouts'
occasionally outrageous behavior made some uncomfortable. He once
shocked everyone by shooting flaming arrows from his Paris hotel
window onto the busy Champs Élysées below"
Michael
Shelden remarked that Fouts' "'Deep South' charm masked a
volatile, sometimes nasty temper. There were rumors about his past
and tales of erratic, dangerous behavior." Perhaps it was
precisely that mystic which kept the young man in such demand.
During
World War II, Fouts was sent back to the US for his “safety”. He
met Isherwood in Hollywood in August 1940. Fouts moved in with him
in the summer of 1941 to "lead a life of meditation".
This was described in Isherwood's “Down There on a Visit”,
where Fouts was represented as the character Paul.
Some
time into the war, Fouts, a conscientious objector, was drafted for
the Civilian Public Service Camp. He later earned his high school
diploma, studied medicine at UCLA and then returned to Europe after
the war. While in Paris, he sent Truman Capote a blank check with
only the word "come" written on it. Capote accepted his
offer to visit, and they would spend hours together in Fouts' dark
apartment on the Rue de Bac, talking and listening to Fouts' stories.
Fouts
was allegedly sexually involved with numerous notable figures.
"Myth
surrounds Denham Fouts", said one of his friends. "He
invented himself. If people didn't know his background he would make
it up."
Fouts
spent much of his later life dissolute. He died at the age of 34 in
1948, of heart problems.
Truman
Capote said: "to watch him walk into a room was an
experience.
He was beyond being good-looking; he was the
single most
charming-looking person I've ever seen.” He
claimed
that "had Denham Fouts yielded to Hitler's
advances there would
have been no World War Two."
Sounds like a bit of fantasy
doesn't it? But then Denny Fouts
lived a life of fantasy rarely to
be duplicated.
