Timothy Hutton Cleared of Rape Allegations
Now that the authorities have found no reason to investigate further or press criminal charges against Timmy, what happens next? Will his career of TV dramas and nonsense indie films ever recover? HIs lawyers say they're going to pull a Hulk Hogan on BuzzFeed, which started the whole thing by running the unverified information and basically killing his career for the fun of it.
Not many people know it, but a big reason why Tim was never a bigger star after his Oscar win was a holding deal he was under with MGM. They wanted him to make some bullshit cowboy movie, and told him not to take big projects in the meantime. So he waited and waited, and MGM eventually had to admit the movie was cancelled at their request. He sued them for lost wages (because by the late 80s, his career trajectory was basically set in stone), and got $10 million out of the bastards. This arguably caused some of the major studios to steer clear of him, and surely jaded him about the business.
I wonder if he'll win his next big lawsuit.

No idea he was even accused… so I’m guessing his career, as it is, is fine.

He was so good-looking back in the day. Granted, other actors have aged worse, but he looks older than 60.

Maybe his stable of gorgeous ex-girlfriends fucked the life force out of him.
-Uma Thurman -Kim Cattrall -Mary-Louise Parker -Demi Moore -Diane Lane -Patti Davis -Sandra Bernhard (whyyyy?) -Rosanna Arquette -Angelina Jolie -Melissa Gilbert -Jennifer Grey
Plus he was married to Debra Winger, who surely beat him on the daily.

Isn't Lauren Hutton his Mom? And isn't he heir to the E.F. Hutton fortune anyway?

He was in the Netflix version of The Haunting of Hill House and his acting was atrocious. He doesn't deserve a career regardless of these allegations.

@R5
His dad was a hunky B-movie star in the 70s who named his youngest daughter "Punch," and his mom was an illustrator of miniature books. Seriously, she did that for a living. Buncha weirdos.

I like Timothy in "Daniel" (1983, hard to find), "Iceman" (1984), and "The Falcon and the Snowman" (1985). Those were some of the first "grown-up" movies I saw as a tween. Before that, my life was all about "Airplane", "Star Wars", "The Muppet Movie", "Caddyshack", "Superman II", etc.

He was sexy and hilarious as the wiseass sidekick on "A Nero Wolfe Mystery." Tall, funny, and a good swing dancer.
You arty queens surely remember that show, from back when A&E showed dramas and not reality trash.

He’s discussed in the call girl expose “You’ll Never Have Sex in this Town Again” as constantly pressuring his girlfriend to have sex with him and his best buddy (who she hated.)
Finally she got so sick of it she locked Hutton out of the room and had loud, long sex with the friend… while Hutton pounded on the door the whole time and demanded to be let in. She said, “I don’t know what you’re so upset about. You kept wanting me to fuck him… and I did!”

Yeah, I read that story. The flooze who wrote it was a lousy writer, and described dialogue that no real person would ever say out loud. "Would you like to try a Quaalude? If you love me, you'll do it for me!"
She also said he took her to movie premieres that she clearly did not attend. You can look that shit up. He took Liz McGovern, Diane Lane, etc. He didn't take some hooker to the Oscars.

Of course she’s not a good writer. She’s a failed actress turned hooker. I think it’s true, though, or she would have been sued.
It’s been a long time since I read it - is that section by the starlet who was on Falcon Crest… then got fired when Lorenzo Lamas broke up with her?

He's lost his "Leverage" gig because of the allegations. The entire cast was brought back for the reboot and Hutton's character was killed off-screen.
[quote]I wonder if he'll win his next big lawsuit.
He's been talking about suing her since March of last year. If he really wanted to sue her he would have done so in 2017 when he, instead, came to a settlement agreement with her for 135k. She ended up not taking the deal because she wanted to sue him. In between that time or before it her ex-boyfriend tried to shake down the other guy she claimed was there when she was raped. The whole thing's a mess.

False accusations of rape need to come with an equivalent sentence to actual rape.

Tim's father, Jim, was on a three or four part episode of One Day at a Time. He played Julie's boss, they fell in love, wanted to marry (he was WAY older than Julie). Of course Ann Romano threw a fit.

Maybe young Timothy Hutton was traumatized by seeing Ann Romano slap his dad - and if he mistreats women today, that’s why?

He's just too sensitive a guy to fit the rapey profile. All his press from that era (arguably the height of his career) show him to be a well-mannered, soft-spoken young man who had a string of famous/beautiful girlfriends but never dished on any of them. He also picked a lot of dour, oddball roles that he surely knew were squandering his limited spotlight, yet he made those movies anyway because he liked the scripts and directors. He doesn't seem like a guy with an ego, or much of a dark side. Contrast him with the famous women in his life - Aggressive Debra Winger, Whackjob Angelina Jolie, Vulgarly-Open Sandra Bernhardt - and you'll notice he always comes out of those dalliances respectfully and quietly. None of those women ever accused him of mistreatment, and they're not the sort of women who hold back juicy dirt on their exes.
I don't believe the hooker who says he love-pressured her into taking ludes and hate-fucking his random friend, and I don't believe the woman who says he loosely raped her when he was 22. It simply doesn't suit his personality. For forty years, he's shown himself to be a sensitive guy who can tastefully handle loving beautiful and powerful women with ease. Either he's telling the truth about himself, or he's the greatest actor of all time. And given his IMDB list lately, we know that can't be true.

He divorced her, so their personalities clearly didn't match for long.
Debra only ever gives interviews where she bitches about all of her old co-stars, and yells at the interviewer for bothering her at all. Richard Gere was a prick. John Travolta was a prick. Shirley MacLaine was a prick. And NO, she did NOT retire, thank you very much! Debra was apparently always surrounded by awful people, and she never shuts up about it. Meanwhile, when Timothy Hutton talks to reporters, he talks about the great directors he's worked with, how lovely this or that co-star was, how fun it was to do this or that piece of crap movie. When Debra is pressed to spill the dirt on people, she gladly does so. When Tim is pressed, he declines to be that hurtful in print.
He's an optimist and she's a pessimist. They didn't really match at all. At least they got a kid out of it.

He really has dated a lot of famous women. Add Mary-Louise Parker, Uma Thurman and Elizabeth McGovern to the list. He was with McGovern when he presented her Oscar category which she strangely chose not to attend. She never got another one. She should have gone. (Was filming Once Upon a Time in America in Europe at the time.)

Instead of juries or judges in rape trials, they should just have OP assess whether the accused "seems like" a rapist or not.

As opposed to the current system, where the "average American" decides a person's innocence or guilt before even knowing the most basic facts of a case? Look how many of you think he's guilty just because he looks old, or looks like he smells. Don't act like you're not also making a snap judgment based on your own feelings.

R43 interestingly (and somewhat surprisingly) however, she seems to have a pretty stable, low key personal life - married to Arliss Howard (I don’t know much about him admittedly, but he seems like a pretty stable low key type) for at least 25 years if not more, lives in the Catskills, etc. So maybe she did “grow up” to some extent. She’s still her cunty self in interviews, however.

The only time she was justifiably cunty with an interviewer was when that winking butthole Andy Cohen tried to get her to dish and/or play along with his dumbass cutesy games on that fucking show of his. She wasn't having it, and his head was too far up his own ass to notice she was pissed at him. He just kept on going. Surprised she didn't slap him.
