Out Of The Closet: Celebrities You May Or May Not Have Known Are Gay
Kristy McNichol & Martie Allen
While her orientation was a discussion point since her days as a child star, Kristy McNichol only came out as gay in 2012. At the same time, McNichol revealed that she and her now-wife Martie Allen had been living together for 20 years.
McNichol, who made a name for herself in the ’80s with movies like Little Darlings and the sitcom Empty Nest, came out because she felt it would help others like her do the same. She once suffered an emotional breakdown while filming the movie Just The Way You Are in France. McNichol cited hiding her orientation as reasons for the breakdown. She retired from acting in 1998.
