Says Kurt Niklas, the former maitre d’ of Romanoff’s and more recently the proprietor of the Bistro and the Bistro Garden, “Throughout the decades the question has come up over and over again. Is Richard Gully gay? I have my reply. At Romanoff’s, every day at lunchtime, employees had to move their cars. One afternoon I walked by the comer, right next to the restaurant, where Richard usually parked. He always left his car on the street, because he wasn’t about to pay for valet parking. And there he was inside his car— I’m pretty sure it was a Ford—humping Grace Kelly. A few minutes later the two of them came in for lunch.”
