Personal Life
Buono liked to read and write, and one of his main hobbies was Shakespeare. "The more you study him," he said, "the greater he grows". He was also highly regarded as a gourmet chef.
In regard to relationships (and the implicit questioning of his sexuality), Buono is quoted as saying, "I've heard or read about actors being asked the immortal question, 'Why have you never married?' They answer with the immortal excuse, 'I just haven't found the right girl.' Because I'm on the hefty side, no one's asked me yet. If they do, that's the answer I'll give. After all, if it was good enough for Monty Clift or Sal Mineo..."
Despite his weight, Victor Buono was known to be a playboy and was with many ladies, according to the commentary on the DVD edition of Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte.
