So the assumption is that Roddy McDowall was somehow vulnerable. But to what? I thought you were trying to imply that he was being held back from major stardom because of his perceived gayness.

?? I tried to say that the general public perceived McDowall as gay, and he was not a major star, so being perceived as gay didn't bother him. Sorry if it didn't read that way to you (though it still reads that way to me, but I have the advantage of knowing what I was thinking).
