He would have been in jail because he was such a flirt and a ladies’ man,” Jennifer said, laughing. She described her father as a straight male with many close friendships, both with men and women.
Jennifer also spoke about how her father’s friendship with actor Randolph Scott fueled the rumors about his sexuality. She explained that Grant and Scott were roommates early on in their careers, as they were both struggling actors trying to make a name for themselves.
A Special Bond
“My father and Randy’s friendship was undeniable. They were devoted to each other in a way that isn’t very common,” Jennifer said. However, she clarified that their bond was strictly platonic and that their living arrangement was purely practical.
Jennifer further defended her father by pointing out that in the 1930s and 1940s, it was not uncommon for two straight men to share an apartment due to financial constraints. She highlighted the fact that her father went on to have multiple marriages and relationships with women, including her mother, actress Dyan Cannon.

Jennifer concluded by stating that her father’s sexual orientation, whatever it may have been, was ultimately a private matter. She emphasized that speculation and rumors do not change who her father was as a person or his immense impact on the world of cinema.
