I think all actors are shy children - Gig Young.

To the public, Gig Young was suave, handsome and charming.

Privately, he dealt with tremendous insecurities that he attempted to mask with a dependence on alcohol.

On film, he was almost always the other man. He lost Doris Day to Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, and Cary Grant, and, of course, Katharine Hepburn to Spencer Tracy.

He did, however, win an Academy Award for his performance in THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? (1969).

Married five times, Young killed both his wife and then himself in 1978. His motive remains a mystery.

GIG YOUNG, Michael B. Druxman's one-person stage play, joins the actor shortly before the tragic event, as he ponders the unfortunate choices he has made in his life.
