Tom Drake: The Gay Secret MGM Hid Behind Judy Garland’s Perfect Leading Man

Tom Drake: The Gay Secret MGM Hid Behind Judy Garland’s Perfect Leading Man Tom Drake was packaged by MGM as Judy Garland's perfect leading man in the 1944 blockbuster Meet Me in St. Louis. However, behind his "boy next door" Hollywood image, he hid a gay secret. When the studio system abandoned him, this A-list star was blacklisted and pushed to the fringes of society. This is the true story of his rise, his termination by MGM, and the reality of the 1940s studio machine. #TomDrake #JudyGarland #MeetMeInStLouis #OldHollywood #MGMStudios #HollywoodHistory #StudioSystem #ClassicCinema #HollywoodScandal #Documentary
