The second-lead of "Bungalow 13" was Richard Cromwell, whose career high-point had been in 1934 when he starred alongside Gary Cooper in "Lives of a Bengal Lancer." It has been rumored that Cromwell, who was gay, and Cooper had a short affair. (The two "bachelors" can be seen sharing a table in the technicolor short "Star Night at the Cocoanut Grove" on youtube at 3:22. Memorable line from the short film: "Hollywood...that great throbbing maelstrom").
Cromwell later had a brief, unhappy marriage in 1945-46 with the much-younger Angela Lansbury, although the two remained friends. "Bungalow 13" was Cromwell's last film and in the 1950's he became a noted decorative ceramacist. He too was an alcoholic, but got sober and was active in AA. He had a home on swanky North Miller Drive above the Sunset Strip, and died in 1963 at age 50.

Bi-sexual billionaire Howard Hughes also had an affair with Cromwell. You can read about here: https://books.google.com/books?id=zS...hughes&f=false
