Pearl and Chris Dickerson lived together during the 70's. I'm not judging just stating a fact about two supposedly macho Mr Universes. At least Dickerson was honest about it though I suppose Bill's moustache and sailor tatoo made him pretty obvious too.

Bill was married to Judy in the 70's.......where do you get this stuff from?

Yes that's true but why did Judy leave him? I think we can all guess the answer.  I've been on this planet for nearly 75 years and involved in bodybuilding for nearly 50. The stuff I've witnessed has to be seen to be believed.  And before you ask, I am not gay. My boyfriend is but I'm not.

Bill is still married to Judy (his second wife) and they live in Oregon on their ranch. Glad you've been around so long but are brutally mis-informed. I've known Bill since I was 15 (I'm 45 now) and have never even heard a rumor like that in any part of this industry. Bill was friends with Jim Morris as well, does that make Bill gay?

Since you know Bill so well you will be aware that Judy left Bill in 78 and didn't come back until Dickerson moved out. Bill actually used to give used pairs of his posing trunks to Teen bodybuilders he had his eyes on during his judging days  ???

Aaaaaahhhh....no, 78' is when I was training with Bill at his gym in Pasadena on Green St. Bill and Judy lived in the house in back of the gym, I trained there all the until 80-81 when he then sold to the gym to Brian (can't remember his last name) and he ripped Bill off for a large part of money from the sale of the gym. Bill moved to Oregon around 81' in believe WITH JUDY and his son Phil.

I see the 14 year olds can't help to get involved in something they know absolutely nothing about.

I don't know Jimmy but he seems like an alright person, but since I was there it would make me a little more credible!!

OK Coach I would agree that you have credibility. Was Dickerson and Jim Morris (another honest gay gentleman) around Bill much when you were training there? Did you ever witness Bill's ritual of giving talented young bodybuilders pairs of his posing trunks prior to inviting them to train at his gym built onto his house ? Can you imagine if a grown man did this today?

I appreciate your feedback.

I've seen Chris once, maybe twice when I trained there, Jim on the other hand and if I recall correctly was there (training) on the weekends. As far as the trunks.......Bill helped alot of people with routiens, he helped me with posing for my first contest and at the time I did not know where to get trunks....he gave me the one's he wore when he won his last Mr. Universe in 1971. If you knew Bill you would know he helped alot of people on almost a daily basis, much like Golds back in the day, you would see guys like Dave Johns, Dave Shaw, Clinton Beyerle, CF Smith (wackjob), I trained with Makkawy when he was there training for the Universe against Padilla (77-78), Arnold would come in once in a while and alot more and other bodybuilders that are legens now.

I trained with a guy named Doug Brignole at that time as well, Bill helped him win the Teen California, Teen America and Mr. California. I also know to this day him and Jim Morris are still the best of friends, but still, doesn't mean he is gay. I myself also trained with Bob Paris for a couple of years in the early to mid 80's.........doesn't make me gay. I gotta know though Jimmy where you heard these rumors, it's kind of disturbing.

Either one of you if you see Bill say hi for me.  I haven't seen him in a few years.  Tell him my leg is better.  Personally I think Bill is a great guy.  He is a perfect ambassador for BB.  Still looks great too.  He had his nephew or son call me when they were in Hawaii to hook them up with a membership at a gym while in town.  But I never met them.

Is Bill a celebrity?  Maybe to you.  If I read this thread right Bill's name is in the title.  So I know him and you don't.  It is easy to see you don't know anyone.  But when there is a thread about no one then you can come on and say you know them.  I truly feel sorry you guys who think I name drop when all I do is post a thread that is at least related to the topic.  You gotta love guys like you.  Keep it up you are entertaining and ignorant.
