Did David Bowie sleep with Marianne Faithfull & Elizabeth Taylor?

It’s kind of crazy to think about David Bowie’s rock ‘n roll life and all of the places he’s been and all of the people he’s slept with, and now he just lives a very quiet life in New York with his wife Iman. They rarely go out and they rarely seek any added publicity. I tend to believe he’s probably pretty happy with his life the past two decades, when everything really calmed down for him. But that doesn’t mean we can’t relive some of his old escapades! There’s a new biography (I believe it’s unauthorized) and it seems Bowie was up for anything sexually in the old days. Cocaine will do that. I’ve heard some of this stuff before (Susan Sarandon, Mick Jagger), but some of it is news to me. You can read the full NYDN piece here and here are some highlights:

*His first wife, Angie: She was a “notorious hedonist” and together they “were notorious about weaving a sexual web around those who took their fancy.” They “met while they were both having an affair with the same man.”

*In 1969, Angie set them up in Haddon Hall where she “pampered” him with a drawn bath every morning and then later, she had “an uncanny ability to bring home the most free-spirited girls.”

*In the 1970s, Bowie told people “I’m gay and always have been,” but his friend Tony Zanetta says: “When we were in bed together, he was more sensual and narcissistic. To him, it was about being adored. . . . I don’t think sex mattered to him.”

*Orgies: At their home off King’s Road, Angie placed a 4-foot-deep bed covered in fur in the living room and named it “the pit.” “Angie and David used to have the most amazing orgies at Oakley St. Everybody f—– everybody in the pit. Mick Jagger used to come there and be involved with sexual things,” says a source.

*Apparently, he hooked up with Bette Midler too!! Oh, and Slash says that Bowie had an affair with his mom, Ola Hudson, who was a costume designer.

*Bowie and Elizabeth Taylor were BFFs, but some people thought they were lovers too. Whenever he was in LA, they would get together and “share gossip and makeup tips.”

*Bowie also slept with Mick Jagger’s wives/girlfriends, including Bianca Jagger and Marianne Faithfull.

There are more names in there, but I think we can safely assume that Bowie banged pretty much everybody in the 1970s and 1980s. Some sources even claim he was a sex addict at one point, but who knows? The weirdest connection, to me, is the Elizabeth Taylor one. What on earth? Who would have even thought that they would have anything to say to each other? That being said, Taylor always loved beautiful, difficult boys. She adored Montgomery Clift, remember. Yeah… okay, I bet Bowie and Taylor did have an affair.
