Instead of being rejected by the public, he received a standing ovation at his next stage appearance. Biographer Sheridan Morley writes that while Gielgud never denied being gay, he always tried to be discreet about it and felt humiliated by the ordeal. Some speculate that it helped to bring to public attention a crusade to decriminalise homosexuality in England and Wales. Longtime lover Martin Hensler, 30 years his junior, died just a few months before Sir John did in 2000 . He only publicly acknowledged Hensler as his partner in 1988, in the programme notes for Best of Friends which was his final stage performance . Despite going to Hollywood to appear alongside Marlon Brando in Julius Caesar in early 1950s, Gielgud would avoid Hollywood for over a decade for fear of being denied entry because of the arrest . Williams obtain a great success with the play " The Corn is Green "(1938), partly based on his own childhood in Welsh, and also later trasposed in a celebrated movie . In addition to stage plays, Williams wrote a number of film screenplays, working with Alfred Hitchcock and other directors .
