I didn't know he was even alive. Did he make other films? Harold and Maude really had impact on me.

If only there were some way to look that up, R1.

Why Shoot the Teacher? (1977) is good, too, and he is cute in it.

If only someone would shit in my mouth.

Forgive me r2, when I post I think conversationally. I did look up Cort's bio on IMDB.

For what ever reason, Harold and Maud had a lasting impression on me. Likely is was Ruth Gordon herself. She always had that look of knowing something no one else did.

Yeah, gay. Loves to hang out with young struggling actors in LA who look up to him.

At this point, he is pretty unattractive, but a very nice man.

He was cute when he was young.

He had to have a lot of plastic surgery after a car wreck in 1979. Poor guy. He was adorable in Harold & Maude.

The Pope, of St. Peter's throne fame, is he Catholic? 86 years old, never married, no children, does anyone know?

He had an affair with Klinton Spilsbury.

The reason why he never married or had children isn't because he's gay. NO! It's because I was born four decades too late! Plus the fact that he don't know I exist. GOD FORBID!!

I believe he had a relationship with Groucho Marx just before Groucho died. I kid you not. I seem to recall Cort living with Groucho and having a very close friendship about which there was much speculation.

So liking old people wasn't just his character in H&M?

Harpo was the gay Marx brother.

I just googled what R15 said and there are photos and rumors

Wow his real name is Wally Cox (Walter)

His career was ruined by the car accident. By the time he was fully healed, quirky movies were out, and movies based on Tom Clancy novels were in.

I heard he had the double AIDS.

I'm sure I don't know, but I AM sure it's twice as bad as the AIDS.

He's done very well as a voice actor. He voiced Edgar the computer in Electric Dreams.

I think it's safe to say that he's had a dick or two in his mouth.

I've often wondered if in fact Kubrick had actually wantedCort to play Wendy on The Shining

He and Beth Grant were perfect as the creepy married kiddie-snatchers on Criminal Minds.

I do remember him from the Faerie Tale Theatre stories back in the 80s. I recall him playing a page in Rumpelstiltskin and the court musician in the Nightingale. The court musician role was more memorable as he would gesticulate wildly 'conducting' this mechanical bird. It was very peculiar but memorable.

i'm watching him in a 1971's italian movie about drug culture in Rome. He plays a straight young man, but he looks and acts so femme in it it's almost distracting.

I think that's the first time I've seen that name mentioned on DL since I came here in the late '90s.

Gay men aren't named "Bud"

It's short for " Budfuck," R 39.

He has to be older than 65.

Klinton Spilsbury is a delightful name.
