Dominick Dunne was bisexual?

The late author Dominick Dunne, who died this past August at the age of 83, was bisexual, his son said on Good Morning America this week as he promoted his dad’s final novel.

Griffin Dunne said it was just like his dad to “finally come out and then leave. It was hardly a big deal either way. He was was closeted about heterosexuality as much as bisexuality as he was about celibacy. He didn’t have boyfriends or lovers, they were never part of our lives.”

Dunne wrote in his latest book: “I’m nervous about the kids, even though they are middle aged men now, not that they don’t already know. I just don’t talk about it. It’s been a life-long problem.”

Griffin said that when his father was getting stem cell treatments in Germany this past summer to fight his cancer, a man named Norman was “looking after him.” and that they obviously had a “long loving relationship.”

Dunne was married for 11 years and is the father of five children. His last book, Too Much Money, is semi-autobiographical and in it he writes: “I’m nervous about the kids, even though they are middle aged men now, not that they don’t already know. I just don’t talk about it. It’s been a life-long problem.”

He was the author of such books as The Two Mrs. Grenvilles, People Like Us, An Inconvenient Woman, A Season in Purgatory, and Another City, Not My Own.
