Arnold Schwarzenegger supports same-sex marriag

Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared on Sunday’s “60 Minutes” to promote his new memoir, “Total Recall,” the same memoir he’ll discuss at a Washington Post live event tomorrow in the District and that the Post’s Vernon Loeb recently reviewed. The Terminator explained many of the mistakes he made during his marriage to Maria Shriver. Among the things he admitted: that he definitely had an affair with Brigitte Nielsen, had open heart surgery without telling Shriver beforehand, didn’t tell Shriver he was running for governor until a few days before announcing his political plans and — as was already known — didn’t let her know that he had fathered a child with their housekeeper, Mildred Baena , until five or six years after he had realized it himself. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t dodge tough questions during his big 60 Minutes interview last night — not even when Lesley Stahl asked him about his father’s stint as a Nazi stormtrooper. (The Governator said that growing up, talk of World War II was basically verboten — he didn’t learn about his father’s past until “much later.”) After showing the newswoman around his childhood home in Austria, chatting briefly about using steroids during his bodybuilding days, and claiming that movie studios originally thought he couldn’t be a sex symbol like, say, that hottie Woody Allen (wait, whaa?) Arnold finally got to the topic most people are most curious about — his relationship with Maria Shriver.
