I am so out of the loop!

When I was growing up, Antony Hamilton was the sexiest guy in all the world. I used to watch every bad television show he was in. I was completely infatuated with him. He was h-o-t!

Today, he comes into my brain somehow and I decide to see if he's in anything anymore and I find out he died in 1995 and that he was GAY. How did I not know this? This bio mentions that he was going to be one of the James Bonds except for fear of his homosexuality getting in the way. Wow, I had no idea. I am completely out of the loop, and very very sad.
