Wait a minute....was Rip Taylor gay?!
Seriously, it never occurred to me until a couple nights ago, probably since I hadn't seen any of his performances on TV since I was but a wee sprout. But now that I think about it.....Dude was gay, right?

13. Has he ever "come out?"
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 12:15 AM by RandomKoolzip
If he ISN'T gay, that would mean the guy's been milking a heinous and outdated stereotype for cheap laughs his entire career.

If he IS gay, well then...boogie on, reggae Ripster.

11. Both Rip's are alive and well,
Rip Torn is known for his roles in 'The Larry Sanders Show' and 'Men in Black.'


And Rip Taylor, well he's known for confetti, I think?
