Michael Jackson: Nearly 21 but has no marriage plans, dates but not steady, fears love-sick fans, talks about racism and develops own lifestyle.
By Robert E. Johnson
JET Associate Publisher
Michael Joseph (Smiley) Jackson, the angelic-voiced lead singer of the world famous vocal quintet of Jackson brothers, is a handsome young man whose onstage magnetism and magic are exceeded only by his offstage majesty and meek heartedness.
Born the fifth of six talented sons of Joseph and Katherine Jackson in Gary, Ind., nearly 21 years ago (Aug. 29, 195 , he is a Virgo, whose trait is unselfishness, and is moved by magnetic forces which draw so many admirers into his life that love is his for the taking. And his love-struck fans often do strange things to show their affection for him.
When one beautiful Black teenager recently boarded a packed plane and spotted him seated with his brothers, she stared in disbelief, began breathing heavily and became so excited that she started wetting in her panties and froze in her tracks as urine trickled down her legs.
At the arrival gate where girls had gathered to meet the Jacksons, a blonde teenager squeezed through the crushing crowd, slipped past security guards, pulled Michael toward her and tried to make him kiss her.
Returning recently from a world tour celebrating their 10th anniversary in show business, Michael, the only Jackson son who has reached the age of consent and is still unmarried, waded through a room full of mail, sorting out those proposing marriage. Bashful Michael answered them the same: Thank you for the beautiful letter. Its very nice. And we will always love you. Love, Michael Jackson and the Jacksons.
Mild-mannered Micahel makes it clear that he gets no satisfaction writing the same letter to all of those female fans who want him for a husband. But he responds in brief dignity because he actually fears love-sick fans.
Sitting in the living room of his familys home located on a parcel of land in Encino, Calif., purchased form the sprawling estate of the late lady-killer actor Clark Gable of Gone With The Wind fame, the young and eligible bachelor talked about marriage, dating and a wide range of topics which deeply concern him.
I dont like to break hearts, he said solemnly and shyly, shifting his 5-foot, 9 ½ -inch body in a sofa chair. I dont really know these people and, gosh, its a weird thing. He continued:
That, I think, is the weird part about show business. You portray an image. And those people are into you so long, buying your records. Youre all over their walls. They wake up seeing you. They wake up thinking about you. Youre totally on their mind. And when they meet you in person, they feel they have been knowing you for a long time. But I dont know them. You see, thats the painful part of show businessthe breaking of the hearts. Do you know what that does to them? God, some of them go to the point of committing suicide because they get real serious. Thats what I dont know how to handle.
For the young female bubblegum crowd whose voices are now turning from no to yes, he is especially fearful. About them he says, You have to be careful because sometimes love can reverse on you. They feel they cant get you and theyll go to the point of plotting and planning terrible things on you or do terrible things to hurt you. Thats why its important to be nice, but sincerely nice.
He recalled the nasty rumor that surfaced last year, falsely claiming that he had undergone a sex change. The rumor is not dead yet and he said his encounter with a love-crazed blonde at the aforementioned airport helps to revive it. This beautiful girl with blonde hair was trying her hardest to pull me into her to kiss her, Michael remembers. She said, Youre so sexy, kiss me. When I showed no kind of interest in her, she said, Whats wrong, you fag? and walked off.
He laments that he still has to tell people: Theres a reason why I was created male. Im not a girl. And what kills me the most and makes me want to break down in tears is when little kids, seven and eight, come to me asking me that. I say, no, and please tell all your other little friends its not true.
What disturbs Michael more than the rumor is the kind of mail he receives from some of the bubble gum set. You wouldnt believe the mail I get. I mean some of it gets real vulgar, he revealed. To him, such mail is as shocking as seeing a priest at a movie house watching The Devil And Mrs. Jones or Deep Throat. Some of the mail gets real funky, not polite at all, he says. They tell you the stuff they want to do to you and everything, and how theyre going to do it. I just read and go, Oh my God, these girls. Theres not much charm in girls anymore, like the guy used to always pick up the phone and call the girl. She would never call the guy. She would sit there all day until the phone would ring for her. But now the girls bother you to death
.You see girls today 11 years old with bags and lipstick and eyeliner and lashes as well. They feel theyre women and theyre not.
Dont get the impression that the soft-spoken singer is a saint or square. Looking like the cliché descriptiontall, dark, and handsomeMichael is very much aware that he can now do at age 20 what he used to sing about when he was 10. One well-known witness is Oscar-winning actress Tatum ONeal, teenaged daughter of actor Ryan ONeal.
A reporter for Modern People two years ago quoted Miss ONeal as once saying she couldnt wait to have her first affair. If she followed up the widely publicized comment with action involving manly Michael, he is not the kind to kiss and tell. He declined to discuss intimate details of dating Tatum, but was anxious to set the record straight about their romance. First, he readily admits the parallels in their lives: Both have protective parents. Tatum is a daddys girl and Michael is a mamas boy. Both are attractive and wealthy. She rides in a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce and millionaire Michael drives his own Rolls. Both are very shy. Michael is one of the brightest stars of the future and Tatum is, too.
I want all those people who read JET to just know that were mainly good friends, Michael assured. Admitting that there have been criticisms about their relations, Michael mused: People take it to crazy means and crazy extents and I just tell them were really, really, really good friends. Thats all I say. They say, Well how good friends are you? Is there any romance going on? I say, yes sometimes but not all the time.
