John Carlyle (6 February 1720–October 1780) was a Scottish merchant who immigrated to British Colony of Virginia and became a leading landowner and social and political figure in Northern Virginia. He was a founding trustee and the first overseer of Alexandria, Virginia.
A homosexual, Carlyle authored "Under the Rainbow: An Intimate Memoir of Judy Garland, Rock Hudson and My Life in Old Hollywood" [ISBN-13: 978-0786718535] that was published shortly after his death. He dishes sympathetic dirt on Garland, peccadilloes with the likes of Tom Drake and his own personal and professional shortcomings in an era of homophobia.

Darkly handsome actor who was once represented by the notorious Henry Willson, the manager/agent who changed the name of Roy Fitzgerald to Rock Hudson and made the actor a huge star. Tried to promote Carlyle as the "next Montgomery Clift" but the promo fell short.
