Royston Ellis was bisexual, not gay or homosexual. Please correct this. It was well known that James Dean was bisexual and Sal Mineo was bisexual as well.
I fixed the reference; sources differ in their wording because the terms changed meaning over the decades. "Well known" mostly means "consensus," which isn't always how a person would have described themselves. Sal Mineo is an interesting case. Routinely described as "gay," he claimed to be predominantly homosexual but to have been attracted to the occasional woman. We today tend to look at these issues in much more rigid terms than people of the past, who drew their lines of distinction in different ways. That's because these are social and political categories and not just descriptions of (subjective, sometimes evolving) sexual attraction.
