Truth is stranger than fiction:

Jack Wrangler, a ruggedly handsome 1970s-era porn star whose openness about his homosexuality made him a symbol of self-confidence for many gay men, died Tuesday in New York City from complications of lung disease. He was 62.

…

He met [Margaret] Whiting, a big-band-era singer whose hits include "That Old Black Magic" and "Moonlight in Vermont," in the 1970s. Their romance turned tabloid heads: She is 22 years his senior, and Wrangler continued to describe himself as gay even in an interview with the gay magazine the Advocate last fall.

Nonetheless, Wrangler told the Chicago Tribune in 1985 that the two saw "things the same way, comically, professionally and romantically." The pair eventually married.
