Felicia’s Letter to Leonard Bernstein: ‘You Are a Homosexual and May Never Change’
Radical Chic
In 1951, wunderkind conductor Leonard Bernstein married the beautiful actress Felicia Montealegre. But was it a marriage of convenience? In this revealing letter, perhaps from around the same period, Felicia confesses her knowledge of Bernstein’s sexuality—and proclaimed her undying love anyway. From the new collection The Leonard Bernstein Letters.
