Sal And Courtney |
|
In 1970, Sal cast a young actor named Courtney Burr in his San Francisco
production of the play “Fortune and Men’s Eyes.” Soon, Courtney ended
his engagement to marry a young woman when he fell in love with Sal. “I
had relationships with men before, but never thought I could actually
fall in love with a man,” Courtney said. “And he was the last man I
thought I could ever fall in love with!” When they first met, Courtney
was stunned by Sal’s appearance. “Shaking my hand was a man barely five
foot eight, with well-tanned, olive skin, a horseshoe mustache worthy of
Pancho Villa, long wavy black hair almost to his shoulders, an earring
in his left ear, and tight purple Levis tucked into brown leather
Spanish cowboy boots.
He also wore a flat Spanish cowboy hat and dark
glasses on his broad, obviously broken nose. I knew nothing of his
career in show business, and I certainly didn’t know I was meeting the
man who would spend the rest of his life with me.”
