[edit] Rumours

I've edited a mention about the "rumoured" lesbianism of Elsa. I've read four books by and/or about her, plus several articles and mentions of her in several printed sources and I haven't found any reference about her being lesbian, the only mention of it being in a brief text in a website which passingly mentions her "being rumoured a lesbian" and doesn't give the source of such rumour, which I think is not solid backing for an statement. Have you any statement by an actual person expressing his or her knowledge or soundly-based suspicion that Lanchester was a lesbian? If not, a "rumour" is merely speculation. In her own account, she only mentions male lovers in her life. Regarding her husband's homosexuality, it is mentioned by many sources (books, documentaries) and people apart from Elsa (check bibliography given in the [Charles Laughton] article.Gloria Porta 21:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
