Here are some articles written about Jimmy:
1) This excerpt was from the book, The Intimate Sex lives of Famous People. This article is just primarily for gossip talk around coffee tables, even though I found this article interesting.
-There's been so much speculation about Jimmy's sexuality, whether he
was gay or bisexual.
-From what I have read (and I don't always believe what I read) Jimmy
probably did have some sexual encounters with men, though that's really
irrelevant. I think his work should be judged, not on what happened
in his personal life.
