Behind the glitz and glamour lie tales of diabolical masterminds and cold-hearted actors, who have immortalized unforgettable stories on the silver screen. But here's the catch: the judgment isn't solely ours to make. Brace yourself to delve into the sinister narratives of the 10 Most Notorious Actors in Hollywood's Past.

A good friend of mine, Laura, waited tables at the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, when she was a young woman. One of her favorite customers was Jack Benny. Anytime he came in, he would ask for Laura to serve him and his guests. He would always leave a $100.00 tip, a lot of money 85 years ago.
It's still a lot for a tip.
I think Benny was a class act all the way around, from what I hear. And his show was hilarious (it's shown on antenna tv here and stands the test of time).
Can confirm. He was known in Marin County restaurants as a very generous customer who never gave servers attitude and tipped at least 100% of the bill total.
@walmartdog1142 that’s equal to 3k in todays dollars.
@@michaeljaffee-eo6mr Aside from the massive amount that is, it makes you question just how much that guy was worth.
What surprises me is that people are shocked to find out that the people we see on the screen are not the same in real life. Entertainers are paid to present an image that isn't real.
Duh
Almost, like bugs bunny, and archie bunker
Guess we want to believe the best.
Hilarious, isn't it? They are called "actors" for a reason!
That’s why I limit my expectations of anybody. If you think about it, for most of us, our images are laced with deception. I learn more about my family and acquaintances AFTER they die. It’s amazing what you find out. 😁
Can the stupid AI be programmed to pronounce names CORRECTLY.
Exactly. "Bet" Davis, instead of Betty Davis? Hilarious!
I heard one pronounce the movie true grit true gift 😅
This might be a computer-generated voice. Pronunciation is literal spelling.
What irritates me due to my having hearing aids - I can't even read those stupid subtitles that are so screwed up which they don't spell out things correctly. I usually have to find another movie or subject that can "correctly" do the subtitled so I can read them. Please learn to "WRITE" English so those wanting to read can understand what you are trying to say.
Nah.... It's AI LOL
I think Sellers was more bi-polar than evil. In fact at least half of them seem to be mentally ill rather than evil.
My thoughts exactly especially with Sellers. Being eccentric, a cad and hard to work with doesn't make you evil. I'm not a weak minded celebrity worshiper but I love Sellers and he is a comedic genius.
@@williamchiafos3889I don't think any of the Goons would call Sellers evil. More like a comedy genius with bouts of depression.
agree, won't be visiting this channel again.
A lot of actors, myself included, have some form of ADHD. Writers, too. We have creative ideas that seem to fire in many directions at once,and while it’s awesome in brainstorming sessions, especially when collaborating with each other, we can be boring or irritating af to people. Not always, but we can be absolutely EXHAUSTING to people unaccustomed to an actor or writer who is in that creative mode. Sometimes you have to learn, or relearn, to just get the grocery shopping done without doing it as some character you’re working up!
We can exhaust even ourselves with it!
I have 50 years of experience acting onstage in front of audiences large and small.
Getting up in front of 200 or 2000 people seems easy to me, unless I’m onstage as ME.
It’s one thing to be onstage portraying someone else. Quite another being up there as boring ol’ Castiels Granny!
I’d heard somewhere he was a control freak, but not evil. Like a lot of comedians he had mental issues.
My mom was a waitress in an upscale restaurant in Lambertville, New Jersey, across the Delaware River from New Hope, PA, where there was an off-Broadway playhouse. Many stars would come to this restaurant because it also had a classic piano bar and dance floor. She met many famous people in the time she worked there. She said that Peter Sellers was indeed a "complete nobody," who had literally no personality when he wasn't in character. He would eat in character, dance in character and order her around in character, for which he tipped her $50 (a fraction of his dinner bill). She said that he reminded her of Laurence Olivier, who was also a cad and had no personality unless he put one of his characters on, "like a coat." She'd said. Her favorite guests were Burt Reynolds and his girlfriend at the time, Dinah Shore. They would come in and sit closely, with eyes only for each other. She said that they were wonderful people who always tipped her at least 50% of their bill to her, because my mom was the best at leaving people alone and not letting her guests be disturbed by 'outside entities!' (Which in sure everyone appreciated!) Just lost her a year ago. Love you mom.
*_Note:_* I believe that I owe the commenters an explanation of a couple of things I said in my post. Please remember that what I have said _is_ heresay. My mom died last year and I am working from memory. I am sorry for the confusion it caused.
In no way did I say or imply that my mom didn't like her patrons. She said that it was the most fun she ever had as a waitress. Just because she told me about the odd quirks of certain people did not mean that she was being rude about them or that she did not appreciate all the things she received from them (she also got tipped with flowers a few times!)
I should probably have said that she thought that Peter Sellers was very funny when he _was_ in character and that she was simply amazed at what a remarkable transformation he would go through when he would get into one. One minute, he's reading in the corner of the bar, and the next, he'd be super charming and delightful. She said that it was like someone turned on a light switch.
I had no intention of sparking a debate about my mom claiming when or why famous people are who they are or their reasons for doing so. She loved her job and what I relayed here was from 50+ years of snippets of conversations. If I misrepresentated anything, it was completely unintentional.
I said in a later comment that my mom practiced 'pay it foward' before it was a 'thing,' back on the early 70's. She started on bridges: she'd get into the toll lane (to New Jersey and back) for people without exact change and would pay her own toll and for the person behind her. She did this without fail and she was never in too much of a hurry that she didn't have time for this. When tolls became automated and digitised, she instead changed her tactics to involve drive throughs. She would always pay for her meal and the person's behind her. I remember being chased down by a guy who demand to know the reason why my mom did this and had a great deal of difficulty understanding that she did it because it was good for people to receive and it made her feel good to _give,_ which is as it should be. She was the most giving person I've ever known.
Sorry for your loss. Some moms are very special people. Mine was one of them as well. We lost her in 1992. She had a very colorful life. With the celebrities' on Miami Beach. Arthur Godfrey, Jackie Gleason and a lot more that made the rounds in South Florida in the 1950's and 60's. Even Myer Lansky, who hired her as executive housekeeper for his new hotel and casino in the Bahamas. We lived over there for 11 years.
Peter Sellers suffered from acute shyness and very bad mental health problems. He actually had severe Bi Polar and a psychosis. Which was only recognised at the end of his life. There has been many people with MH issues labelled "difficult" before the 1990's. That's one of the reasons Peter and Spike Milligan were friends-they had an understanding of each other.
So it's clear she rated the " nicer" actors by how much they tipped.She should have been grateful for Peter Seller's generous tips.Nothing worse than an ungrateful wench!!
@@jegsthewegsI really wouldn't even put Sellers on this list. Being a bit of a cad or hard to work with doesn't make you evil. Regardless, Sellers was a comedic genius and still a big fan.
@@williamchiafos3889
You're right. It's a word for very bad people.
Not sure the word "evil" is appropriate. Troubled, scandalous, etc., but hardly "evil".
Sure but then they wouldn't get as many clicks. UA-cam is the new National Enquirer.
@@chongsdongExactly 💯.
It's called click-bait. Even the writer of the title doesn't thinks it's appropriate, but A/B testing shows it gets the views. Case closed.
Hardly evil that's a stretch 😮
That's because horrific facts have been left out of this video.
You should've added Jerry Lewis to this list and made it 11.
Lewis needs an entire list to himself. This is a guy with less warmth and humanity than the AI robot narrating this piece
Totally agree, Lewis was a genuine pain in the butt.
Agreed. He was disgusting.
Absolutely
Yeah; calling your son a ‘r***rd’ on national television probably qualifies.
Obviously you don't have a clue as to what evil means. These actors were rude, selfish, insensitive s.o.b's for certain; but, evil? I don't think so. Evil is cruel enough to rape and murder. Now, maybe, from what you have suggested, a couple of these actors may have raped young girls. If that is true, then yes, evil would be the correct word; but, evil doesn't describe all of them. If they raped and murdered, then evil would be the word to describe them; but. Just being rude, demanding and selfish doesn't make them evil.
He did mention Roman Polanski... He is evil...
Step 1 - Ask AI who are the 10 most evil actors in Hollywood History.
Step 2 - Collect images of the actors, provided above.
Step 3 - Ask AI to write and narrate a script for each of the above.
Step 4 - Put it all together with a sinister backing track and upload it to UA-cam.
Give aways are easily caught, especially by the incorrect pronunciation of names and insincerity in the script.
If this were done by a human, they would be interested enough to know how to pronounce names.
Inspector who....Close o? lol
Bet Davis?
The second I hear AI narration I am out .
Step 5, watch a video and write a whiney essay about it.
Adding to all of this, 48,000 people were attracted to this artificial "work." But there are UA-cam videos put together by real human beings, some with talent, other with varying or non-exiting talent. But they are there proving that people still have value.
How the hell are these the most evil actors? Narcissists,drunks,bad parents, cheating while married are all shitty but does it make them evil? Puff,Diddy, Sean whatever ya wanna call him is evil. Some of these were like …He wasn’t as friendly as the characters he portrayed. Big deal. Where’d Kevin Spacey,Danny Masterson and Bill Cosby at on this list?
Yeah, evil is definitely a word I wouldn't have used in the subject title.
This is the dumbest list ever. Apparently, Orson Welles is one of the most evil actors because he didn't like a number of people that were notorious for being awful people. A damning indictment if I ever heard one. Everybody knew Mickey Rooney was a giant A-hole, by the time he was in his thirties it was obvious what he was like in every interview he did. Henery Fonda was one of the most evil because he had a number of affairs, just like almost every other actor did, except apparently they were not evil. I wish they would ban this AI generated nonsense.
Notice they did not add Mr nice guy to the evil list - who had an affair with his best friend's first wife (Henry Fonda and Maureen Sullivan).
Mr Nice Guy was Jimmy Stewart who had an affair with his best friend's first wife - Maureen Sullivan. Actually I read so many hot actors had a thing for her? I did not think she was attractive or an outstanding actor.
I already DON'T like this AI
I believe it's going to be a real problem. You won't be able to deffritiate between was real or what's altered. 😢
Bing was a cruel man. He was so mean to his wife and children. I knew Mickey and he was not a cruel person! He was always kind, funny and easy to be around. He was mistreated the last few years of his life by his wife and a step son. They stole his money, physically hurt him and more. It broke my heart!! At that time he actually should have been mad at the world!
bing put in his will that his children couldent get their inheritance untill they were 67 years old. they dident make it.
Mickey was married how many times?? Yeah... He was not a nice person because no one ever told him "No"
This is a bizarre list. It certainly cheapens the word evil. But, beyond that, the kind of nasty behavior of Flynn and Crosby seem of a different nature from Welles just offering harsh assessments of certain actors. I can't even see why Welles is on the list.
SAME WITH PETER SELLERS.!
Orson didn't flush! ( per Tom Brokaw who used the dressing room after him)
Some actors will forever be known for certain roles. If you're my age...George Reeves WAS Superman and Erroll Flynn WAS Robin Hood.
No!!!!!! Richard Greene was Robin Hood. 😁
Richard Greene was in knee pants when Erroll was "In like Flynn". Just kidding,he was good,too.@@guzzijack9714
Never forget Captain Blood!🏴☠
@@frankgesuele6298 Absolutely!!
I'm 49.
For me Christopher Reeve is Superman, but Robin Hood is & will be Erroll Flynn.
That movie is what, 92 years old?
But it's imagery is still strong in the collective memory, I think.
When I was writing for car & motorcycle magazines I did an interview with Peter Fonda. He described his father as "cold blooded" and blamed him for his mother taking her own life.😢
Did he say cold or cold blooded - big difference - heard that Fonda was emotionally cold in general - warmed up at the toward the later part of his life, both to his children and his life wife, who he was effusive about - Shirlee.

By the way, actor Gig Young murdered his wife. Not as bad as these people?
If it's any consolation, Murder-suicide w/5th wife Kim Schmitt just 3 weeks after their marriage. October 19, 1978
He was a raging alcoholic, he was once married to to actress Elisabeth Montgomer( Bewitched).
Gig Young - surprised me and it is a good thing Elizabeth Montgomery, divorced him as soon as his alcohol consumption became a problem. She's lucky she got out in time and divorced him. Don't know if he killed himself after he murdered his wife or was committed to prison? Let me know.
@@homegown1234 It was a murder - suicide.
Robert Blake also murdered his wife. (He was one of the little rascals, starred in "In Cold Blood" and was "Barreta" on tv.
And nothing has changed. Actors are narcissists!
Some I am now questioning since I was a big fan of this particular super star and now I can't see myself being such a fan of hers anymore. Talks or portion written about her showed little regards to her neighbors when she was fixing up her place by way of construction and I felt she could have done something to avoid the complaints of her neighbors which caused traffic in her Connecticut streets by addressing a way to solve the neighbors that had problems of getting around their places. I felt it didn't matter to her at all which disturbs me since it caused a lot of traffic close to her neighbors. Meryl Streep is the so-called actress.
@@homegown1234
The only actor who never stood out negatively or never showed bad attitudes was and is: Keanu Reeves.
When one knows how other actors behave, one only sees what BAD attitudes they have, but NOT more as actors.
I don't think you know what the word means.
@@reh3884 🤣🤣🤣
Clint Eastwood
Add Whoopie Goldberg.
and Oprah
Agreed.
And Tim Allen.
Got to add funk goldberg
Yes!
In the 1980s, I was the assistant to one of the biggest agents in Hollywood. We represented dozens of famous actors. You would be very disappointed if you got to know the real person behind the actor's mask in most cases. Funny enough, Donna Mills always played a villain, but she was a lovely, kind person off camera. Then there were those everyone idolized because of the roles they played. BIG MISTAKE!
I have seen interviews with producers and directors who say many times that actors who play heavies are some of the nicest people.
Jerry Lewis should be added
Jerry Lewis has his own video.
I knew he was bad news but as I started to read things about him having a child out of wedlock, he never confronted this girl. The sad truth he was so much involved with his 2nd wife I thought he would still be fair with his children, but he disappointed me when I learned he left his 60 million to the 2nd family and the first didn't get anything but hardship from Jerry. If I were the 2nd wife I would have distributed the money fairly at least half of $60 Million which is 30 Million for the first family which they deserved.
Lewis is pro evil compared to the others on this list.
CALL IN THE CLOWN GREAT MOVIE
@@Wesley-eu7rn - I heard worse that women who were his staff would be manipulated by him to "service" that AH. I can't believe it when I heard this. It is bad enough he scared his kids each time he came home and his wife would tell the kids to beware he is on his way home. So they would scattered to their rooms and try not to bother this father who had little time for his wife and his six boys. He's despicable.
Well, there's 18 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
I'm 5 minutes in, thanks for the heads-up. I knew this wasn't great when the waffle about Bing Crosby didn't mention the terrorising CHILD ABUSER that Gary Crosby documented and his siblings corroborated. Yipes.
If you increase the play speed, it goes by faster.
AI clickbait nothingness.
People tend to forget that actors are just paid liars.
@Serai3, yup 👍 Ronald Reagan! 😂
Yep
They also forget that actors are people - full of flaws just like everyone else.
That's why actors make such good politicians
Actors are gross
I did a show with Mickey Rooney in 2003. He was very professional and was very nice to me.
Jane Fonda already talked about how he wasn’t a good parent or husband but definitely not evil they even grew close has he aged. The title is salacious on this one.
fallacious
Yeah, Hanoi Jane has the nerve to talk bad about her father
@@jeanahill9303 OK that’s out of line crazy. Just because one doesn’t agree with a young’s persons (and she was young) politics doesn’t mean she can’t honestly talk about her childhood and relationship with her own dad. Let’s dial back a bit and look at her like she’s still human. When Henry was in his 90’s they were able to reconnect and repair there relationship before he passed. That is a beautiful thing.
She tore up a note that was handed to her by a starving POW! After she read it and laughed at them for asking for Help! I was young once but I was never that mean! You might forgive her for being young but I can’t.
I agree with you, but press nowadays will sweep anything negative about liberal Hollywood stars under the rug. I always enjoyed hearing how there were instances when she was in public about ex-Vietnam vets spitting on her. I didn’t blame them. I’m glad she’s in her 80’s and nearer to the grim reaper.
My grandfather was a waiter in top hotels for 55 years ,worst buddy Hackett and Richard prior .
Pam Grier does not have fond memories of the late Richard Pryor.
I had a friend who was a doorman at the Brown Palace in Denver. He told me Bob Hope is cheap and haughty. My sister worked at Stoffers in Detroit in the '70s. She met a lot of famous people but her favorite was Redd Foxx. She told me he was really friendly and gave her a nice tip. She was a maid and developmentally disabled. He probably picked up on that.
@@kensellers4082What did she say?
@@guaporeturns9472
Let’s just say that Ms. Grier was alluding to the gynecological “problems” she unfortunately experienced after her romantic relationship with the late Mr. Pryor.
@WendySchroederDenverCo I read that Redd Foxx was a genuine & kind guy! Unlike most actors!!
Wait! You mean these men were human? Say it ain't so . . .
I tune to this channel whenever I need to fall asleep in less than 12 seconds.
I would describe them as deeply unpleasant and flawed individuals rather than evil.
Evil is the wrong description.
I thought the same thing. Definitely a bit on the "click bait" side. People being arrogant jerks are not usually evil. Many of us know that celebrities whether actors or rock/pop stars can have big egos & can be arrogant & demanding. Murderers, rapists & even sociopaths who don't commit acts of violence can be evil in their own way. They are playing a role when we see them on TV, the movie screen or stage.
Many have said Michael Landon was a major asshole in real life & his kids hated him. He was drunk most of the time as well. Throw in alcohol and other substance abuses and that can also turn a person into a mini monster who thinks everything is all about them, which many stars already do without the alcohol/drug abuse issue, throw that in the mix and they are usually worse.
Paul Lynde was another one who was a miserable alcoholic.
Shia LaBeouf is a real nasty jerk to people.
Jack Cassidy was another miserable drunk who died in a fire he started while drunk.
I am sure there are dozens more who fall into this category. Then throw in the rock/pop stars who are miserable alcoholics/drug addicts and the list probably goes up to over one hundred.
I know this is a little different but I have a close personal friend I have known since the mid to late 1970s. Her first husband was the son of Grace Metalious so she was her mother-in-law for over a decade. Grace Metalious wrote the book Peyton Place which then turned into a movie & possibly a TV show(I may have that backwards, not 100% sure) She said Grace M was a miserable alcoholic and died broke and lonely. Her book was about life in a small town here in NH and somehow made it big nationally at that time. She said Grace had zero to do with her grandson & said her husband, Grace's son was a spoiled brat even though he had a horrible relationship with his mother. It was interesting to hear how fame infected their lives in a really negative way because before that book & the fame she was not that bad of a person.
Many people put these unrealistic expectations on celebrities and think of them as their on screen/stage personas and can be very disappointed at times if they happen to meet them in real life. Plenty are nice to their fans as well so not every one of them are arrogant jerks or assholes to everyone.
Kirk Douglas was one of the very few who had the courage to stand up for all the actors who were persecuted during the McArthy witch hunts.
Before or after he boinked a teen Natalie Wood against her wishes?
As it happens, Senator McCarthy was RIGHT! Hollywood is full of communists!
He broke the blacklist by hiring Dalton Trumbo to write Spartacus. Both father and son had reputations of supporting and paying the screenwriters well. Although I disagree with the term "witch hunt" which is always used in describing McCarthy Era. There are no such thing as witches. There were however, many open Communists in Hollywood advocating overthrow of the government. These writers were not "persecuted" as you say. They spoke unpopular opinions and had to deal with the consequences when people didn't want to patronize their movies. They've been whining about this for 70+ years.
When I worked years ago at my Uncle's restaurant a waitress I knew there had regularly waited on Berle at a Florida hotel where he was performing. She told us about how arrogant and nasty he was and this was decades before Saturday Night Live or UA-cam lists.
Berle always features in these lists, he must have been a deeply unpleasant person.
I learned Milton Berle put the moves on Marilyn Monroe and so many other actors did. I don't know what her frame of mind was back then, but it didn't help her feel good about herself. One creep of a pimp which to this day I hate his guts - Peter Lawford was the creep that was pimping her to the Kennedys. What a horrible human being he was and I'm sure he is facing hlis maker now.
@@homegown1234
I think that Frank Sinatra (not exactly another Pa Walton himself) threw Peter Lawford out of the Rat Pack due to some misunderstanding between Frank and JFK.
So, “Pe-tah” was banned from appearing in “Robin and the Seven Hoods” with Ol’ Blue Eyes and the rest of the Rat Pack.
@@kensellers4082 Might have because Jack Kennedy shunned him after Frank , who had been a big supporter during the campaign. Kennedy was told to keep his distance from Sinatra because of Frank's mob ties, and was a no show for a scheduled visit at Frank's house in Palm Springs after Frank put in a lot f of pricey additions including a helipad.
@@Snoopydad
Yes, I heard that Frank Sinatra never dealt with JFK after that apparent snub.
In fact, Frank Sinatra was said to be so furious that he personally took a sledgehammer to a helicopter landing pad on his estate he had built for JFK to land on in his presidential helicopter.
Nasty, reprehensible, unlikeable, unpleasant, cruel, mean, nasty, etc. etc. But not "evil." That's a real clickbait-y headline. Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, those're evil.
Don’t forget chairman Mao or Benjamin Netanyahu.
@@chrisleach3958 Netanyahu is the newest addition and definitely deserves the label of EVIL.
Actually, some of these evil doers were evil. I am not sure so much about Wallace Berry but then he was a bit of a thief compared to others he wasn't too bad which at least he never physically abuses anyone in the movie business.
And Churchill.
I agree, immoral, arrogant, and just plain mean and nasty, yes. Evil? No.
I realize this is about mean actors, but on the flip side my father did some landscape work for Richard Widmark who would greet him every day for the two weeks he worked for him with an ice cold beer and big cheerful "Buenas dias amigo, would you like a cervesa?" my dad had nothing but good things to say about him. Likewise my mother worked for several years at the Riviera country club where she became friends with Peter Falk who was so down to earth he would even seek her out to chat with. She said he was very funny and they would often joke with one another. I remember she cried when she heard on the news that he had died.
Good to know Richard Widmark was a decent man and he was kind to your father. Love your comment.
Alec Baldwin, Jerry Lewis and Keifer Sutherland should all be on that list!

I'm not seeing how Orsen Wells is evil, just because he had negative opinions on a few Hollywood people over the years. That sounds perfectly normal to me.
John List who ruthlessly shot his entire family, including his mother while he depleted her bank acct, that's what I call Evil.
I don't think you can criticize Rooney too harshly for playing a Chinese guy. The writers and director are the ones you should be mad at if you want to be mad. They wanted an Asian stereotype and he gave them an Asian stereotype.
It was Japanese, not Chinese. That as in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S.
Peter Sellers played a very racist Chinese character in one of his films too. Just saying.
@@RayPointerChannel Either way it's just a movie.
That wasn't the point, Mickey Rooney for years was an abusive husband to Eva Gardner and Mickey took advantage of Elizabeth Taylor when she was just a child. That is something I don't condone. What he is "a pervert!"

Exactly!
I never knew being single minded and maybe selfish equates to being evil.To me the likes of Hitler and Bin Laden are evil not actors.
sold their soul for fame
I appreciate some of the info, but I can’t really get behind this list. There are actors that straight up raped, murdered and abused people. I think that that’s just a bit more horrible than Henry Fonda sleeping around.
Also, you left out the part about Bing Crosby abusing his children
Oj , Chase, Seagal
What did OJ do?
OK. Dunaway's tossing urine at Roman Polanski was not so bad in retrospect.
Ikr. Unfortunately it probably isn't true.
I would go so far as to say that she did a good deed
Steve McQueen and Jerry Lewis probably could have made the list.
Honey, it's not Bette Davis like Bett Midler. It I'd Bet-tee Davis. Get it right, please!
That was a mistake no one should make. She was ubiquitous.
Never trust a Robot.
As one who knows, who had the misfortune of working on his show when I was just 19, I’m always amazed that the nasty, totally mean Danny Kaye doesn’t head the list. I was thrilled when Harvey Korman, who got his start on the Kaye show and was a prime target of his evil, left to go across the hall at CBS TV to the Queen of Fabulous People, onscreen and off, Carol Burnett. Harvey was blessed to shine there. I do not miss this a**hole for one second.
I learned that Carol Burnett said she told him he shouldn't come back if he doesn't improve his attitude. When he came back the following week - he got his act together and never behave like an asshole again.
I can back up what you have said about Danny Kaye, When I was a teenager age 16, I saw him in an airport. I had always been a fan. I walked up to him. He was standing by himself so I did not interrupt a conversation. All I said to him was, "thank you for making all of the fun movies, I am a fan. I did not ask him for an autograph, I asked him for nothing and just wanted to than him for his work. I did not try to start any further chat. He glared at me with such a condescending expression, then without saying a word and turned his back to me and walked away. What kind of person does something so rude to someone who complimented and thanked them?
The complete opposite in personality who I had met in NYC in a music store was....Dick Van Dyke. He is everything you would expect him to be...kind, funny and friendly.
I have met many famous people and all have been very pleasant ..... except for Danny Kaye. He was an a**hole.
@@mte4506 I had a virtual identical experience with an actress, not nearly as well known as Danny Kaye, Kyra Sedgwick. I was waiting on the subway train platform on 66th St in Manhattan and recognized her. Coincidentally, I had just seen "Born on the Fourth of July" the night before and complimented her on her performance. I didn't ask for a selfie or an autograph. I was dressed in a suit and tie. She looked at me like I was dirt and turned away without a word. My sister in law, who follows all this Hollywood BS, said her reputation is that she doesn't talk to anyone. On the set she will sit apart from everyone else having nothing to do with them. So I guess it wasn't me.
Gig Young was so brutal he went home and shot to death his wife, his doctor had delivered the bad news he had the big "C". So ever considerate Gig decided if I have to die so does she! IMO that is a good definition of Evil!
It is a good thing that Elizabeth Montgomery divorced him or he would have killed her during one of those drunken fights. He would have been the wife he would have killed since being an alcoholic he couldn't get his act together.
When The Addams Family (1994)came out, someone (I don’t remember who) said in an interview that the makeup and costume staff nicknamed the wig Anjelica Huston wore as “Faye Dunaway” due to the difficulty of working with it.
I don't think Henry Fonda was evil. Both Jane and Peter loved their father - and at the end were able to get closer to him. He was withdrawn emotionally and found it hard to be emotionally expressive. He, like so many of Hollywood stars, both men and women, weren't too faithful to their spouses. His first wife, for example, Maureen Sullivan, who I think he was faithful to, had a relationship with his best friend, Jimmy Stewart, when they were married. Says a lot about Sullivan and Jimmy Stewart.
Jane was the evil one--she committed treason in Vietnam and got away with it.
Nobody knew who Peter Sellers actually was. Even Peter Sellers. There was never any 'there' there. He was Andy Kaufman 1.0. Also, Peter Sellers found Stanley Kubrick hard to work with, but Stanley Kubrick loved Peter Sellers.
Lose the CG voice.
For all of Mr. Fonda's faults, there is something that wasn't disclosed. When Jane was very young, her father told her that his father (her paternal grandfather) forced a young Henry to watch the lynching of an African American man. This was a watershed moment for both of them, father and daughter.
With this revelation, over time Jane understood her father's insecurities and anti-communal behavior. Young Henry looked up to his father, but after the murder never respected him again. In fact, with each passing year, he learned to despise his father, which in turn affected his own parenting skills when he would have children later in life.
The subject came up during the beginning of the Civil Rights movement, and Jane had said a racist word she had picked up at school. Her father scolded her related the horror that he witnessed, and instructed her all people are the same.
In effect, Mr. Fonda suffered from childhood trauma [PTSD] for most of his life. If he could impart any fatherly advice to his daughter, it was not to judge or hate, unlike many of his contemporaries. Ms. Fonda revealed this not too long ago. It had been their "secret lesson" between father and daughter for decades.
In retrospect, his belief in civil rights was evident. While many of his fellow actors were outspoken about being anti-rights under a cloud of being anti-communist, he and others, like Charleston Heston, Clark Gable, Bogart/Becall, Monroe, and Robert Ryan, worked in front and behind the scenes, fighting for equality and never seeking credit.
I had a different take about Fonda's father taking him to see a lynching - it was to educate him on the evils of this behavior - not the reverse. Henry was stunned and forever after was a pro civil rights advocate. Maybe it was too difficult as a lesson, I don't know how old Henry was when the father took him to see the lynching. However, when I heard it - it was not a statement of complaint about his father, but his awareness of the horror that such things were happening.
I met both Henry and Jane in the '70s, and both were nice down to earth people. Unfortunately celebs instead get judged by the public for opinions they happen to say on the record at any given time, not who they are.
@@LJ-ht4zs That story is bizarre. Fonda's father took him to watch an actual lynching, but didn't do anything to stop it? Fonda grew up in Nebraska. Btwn 1882 and 1968 there were 57 lynchings in Nebraska, but only 5 were of black people. And Fonda and his father just happened to witness one of the 5 black lynchings in the history of Nebraska?!! I'm calling BS. And this explains Hanoi Jane allowing herself to be photographed like she was shooting at American pilots?
Barbra Streisand
I never considered Henry Fonda to be warm and fuzzy, but learning that he and Lucille Ball had an intense thing going years and years before made their acting together in "Yours, Mine, and Ours" more sweetly sentimental, because they worked so well together then...
Thanks for posting! 👍
Both Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart were roommates in NYC at the same time Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball were roommates then too. Fonda told very funny story about a night they double dated on the Dean Martin Roast of Lucille Ball - both of them were present as well as Ginger Rogers - it was a very funny story, an unflattering one of Lucille's and Ginger's makeup. They all laughed.
Jerks, maybe, but not necessarily evil.
Welles was candid in some of his remarks about fellow actors. I'm not sure how that qualifies as evil.
You sure have an absurd definition of evil. Publicly labeling artists as such is much more so.
Speaking of Natalie Wood, how about Robert Wagoner? Rumors persist he threw her overboard.
Can't even spell his name right
Racist towards flynn
Orson wellies, overrated, citizan kane boring
Not a rumor, Wagner did throw Natalie overboard after beating her to death.
I believe he did it!
The Kirk, Douglas/Natalie, Wood incident was not alleged. there are many stories online about this Natalie spent a couple days in the hospital due to whatever Kirk Douglas did to her. She was only 15. Natalie‘s mother would not press charges because she thought it would hurt Natalie’s career ..I cannot watch any movie with Kirk Douglas in it ever again once I heard that..
as for the rest of the actors being human, and having emotions and not so private lives, did you want normal average people in the movies. I have no doubt that a lot of these stories were dreamed up by the publicity departments of the studios and tabloids. William Randolph Hearst type of reporting in the newspapers, sells best. If there’s no story there, go out and create a story.. if the headlines are big enough, the story is big enough..
What's with the commas in the names? Doesn't make any sense
Never heard this.
Does almost beheading your former wife with your children sleeping upstairs along with brutally knifing to death a guy returning glasses from the restaurant meet the criteria of the word "Evil"?
sounds like a movie script!
@@bgueberdenteich5206 It was the murder committed by O.J. Simpson. He got away with it.

Never meet your hero’s. Most actors become spoiled brats after they reach a level of success that tells them they are of a god like status. This is what happens to people when they end up believing their own bullshit. Some get away with it until their last day on earth. 🤧🙄
Don't look at them as hero's, some are actually good people, but the ego , entitlement and other baggage they bring would not and should not be tolerated. Just read about the making of the Blues Brothers movie, belushi, was not evil, but was unreliable and cruel.
@@RickW-HGWT
That being said, reading about people only shows you what the author’s opinion.
Humans are capable of anything. Organic life forms will do some evil shit to each other for no good reason. It’s what we do. It’s expected. Nothing surprises me anymore. Business as usual.
The plural of hero is heroes

@@TawnyC_ I’ll be sure and make a note. 🥱🙄
there is no manual to handle fame or stardom, it takes a strong well grounded person to handle this if it happens to you, years ago I spent a yr. training to be an actor, at the low level I was at, I saw many disturbed people in the biz, I gave up and became a libn. much happier life
Funny, almost every one of the people they've mentioned I never liked. Mickey Rooney always made my skin crawl.
I feel the same way about Faye Dunaway. 😒
I know! I can’t believe Ava Gardner married him. Maybe he’s not built in proportion 😱
@@waterloosunset4559 🤣
They are all overrated.
Great actors that this centuries old and new toxic generations buy into. It's like Republicans falling for Q.
While none of these people were nice, I'm pretty sure that these aren't anywhere near close to being the 10 most evil.
I suffered through the first 6:36 of this and see nothing "Evil". One can't stay faithful, one is mean to people, and one is an arrogant perfectionist. None of those are evil. I can't take that monotone voice anymore, even if I was interested in the rest.
Bette Davis would have walked up to this guy and knocked his ass into the middle of next week! One of the all time greatest actress's who ever lived! Made Jack Warner millions of dollars and can't pronounce her name!! Dear Bette is spinning in her grave and demanding a light for her lucky strikes! Who remembers those famous smokes of yesteryear?
I actually saw an interview with her once in which she was asked if she preferred Bet or Betty and she said either one. In some countries they do pronounce it Bet. Sounds weird, I know.
It's AI, not a real human narrator.
10:53 - "Bet Davis" - wow, this guy really knows his stuff
Lancaster should talk he was a jerk too
Really? I've always heard he was pretty nice to the crews and such
Even peacenik commie Susan Sarandon slapped him on the set of Atlantic City. I met the son of one of the screenwriters for Sweet Smell of Success and he said Lancaster virtually single-handedly gave him an ulcer. The man who wrote "Bad News Bears" was Lancaster's son. The character of the nasty coach played by Walter Mattau was based on his father.
Acting is acting. Humans are flawed that's how it is.
I think Milton Berle could have played The Joker in Batman. He had that touch of evil in him along with his humor.
Header should read "most flawed" actors instead of evil.
Chris brown is evil music singer
Guy had the sense to punch out Rihanna
@@fredgardner2870 Typical!
Kirk Douglas was born, Issur Danielovitch Kemsky in Amsterdam, N.Y.,. His sister was Freida Kemsky Becker
To anglicize it, the family changed their last name to DEMSKY (not Kemsky). Danielovitch was their original last name. See The Ragman's Son.
There was a story told by Natalie Woods sister that Natalie Woods was raped by kirk Douglas...I believe her sisters story.
Difficult? Sure. But evil might be a bit of a stretch.
A person who I am glad I had the pleasure of meeting and is not on this list is Bob Hope. He was a genuinely nice and friendly person, a real gentleman and down to earth. I was fortunate to chat with him for a few minutes after a special event he was featured for.
Just being a strict parent doesn't automatically make you evil.
Jerry Lewis, Jack Cassidy, Charlie Chaplin, John Wayne, Gig Young, And Griffith, Joan Crawford, Marlon Brando, Russell Crowe, Mike Myers, Steven 😂, Edward Norton, Dustin Hoffman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sharon Stone, Charlie Scheen, Christian Bale, Shia LaBeouf…just to name a few that have reps for being difficult and downright mean.
That’s why they are called actors ….
I agree with you, with the exception of John Wayne.
Flawed human being, as we all are, but not evil.
The story about John Wayne attacking Sacheen Littlefeather is a complete lie.
There have never been any eyewitnesses come forward to substantiate her accusations.
After she died, her siblings came forward and revealed that for many decades, their sister was living a lie.
She was not one bit Native American. 16:55
@@matclark70 He was a racist!
A few on this list had problems with alcohol and that contributed to them being nasty.
My pick for this list was not mentioned. Cheetah the faithful chimpanzee in Tarzan movies was a handful. Olivia de Havilland said that he was a horny bastid.
😂😂😂😂
How about 10 genuinely nice ones - much harder to find it would seem!
Maybe, from what I've read, the list would include Paul Newman, Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire??
I met Jerry Orbach many years ago, before CSI. What a great guy. Another who had a great reputation, Jack Klugman. Very much down to Earth and a lot like Oscar Madison!!! Loved card games and gambling.
Nic Cage was my customer at a frame shop and a nightclub I worked at in San Francisco. He was nice beyond measure. His dad, August Coppola, is a right tw@t, though.
You know nothing about Hollywood if you can't pronounce Bette Davis' first name.
It's pronounced Bet-tea Davis, not Bet
Omg,, our sam is back ..glad to see you are feeling better..it takes a full year to come to terms with a loss.. but a word of wisdom from an old granny, there is no such thing as closure. There are just degrees of acceptance. Big hugs my dear and thank you so much for being you.
It's not so much that these actors are "evil', it's that Hollywood portrays humans the way we prefer to see ourselves: good, noble heroes.
That AI is annoying, cant even pronounce names properly!!
Charlie Sheen and Bruce Willis come to mind.
I think Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken mistreated Natalie Wood more...
Wagner killed Natalie.
I'll bet Christopher laughed when he saw the sign on the high end store she opened, saying "Walk ens welcome!!"
What did Christopher Walken do to her? I know Wagner probably killed her but I don’t know anything about Walken.
Walken was aboard the yacht, and not only helped Robert get her in the down jacket but then lied to the cops and said he didn't hear or see them fighting.@@sarahpalmer411
@@sarahpalmer411 I guess Walken knew/knows something about this and what happened and I'm not surprised if Wagner paid him off to keep quiet.
Hearing what happened with 15-year-old Natale Woods makes me feel even more sorry for her after learning the sketchy facts about her death. What a total cover-up!
Her mother was a virtual female pimp.
This is a classic example of how bad AI narration can be.
Hollywood and the whole entertainment industry is disgusting. From drug and alcohol abuse to the cruel abuse of children is somehow seen as normal by them all , just awful.
I don’t think Peter sellers was evil so much as disturbed.
“Had I known he would become such a big shot, I would have treated him better.” - Kirk Douglas on Michael Douglas.
The AI had me fooled until "Bet" Davis.
There are way more than just 10. Way more than 1,000. It's where the label "entitled" comes from.
There's one more thing about Kirk Douglas that a lot of people don't know about. He was actually the first actor approached to play Colonel Samuel Trautman in First Blood. However, it was rumored he abruptly turned down the role because the main focal point of the movie was on the character of John Rambo and not Colonel Trautman, prompting the studio to call in actor Richard Crenna as a last minute replacement.
it was primarily due to Sylvester Stallone. Douglas wanted Trautman to "twist his neck" and put Rambo out of his misery. Stallone went along with the book's original end, even down to Trautman shooting Rambo (with Rambo forcing him to), but Stallone was tired of movies depicting soldiers as liabilities to the point where their only option was death.. he wanted it to be more hopeful. That was never going to work with Douglas.
Pleasant people and family types don’t get very far in Hollywood. There’s a link between narcissism and talent - and only a handful of exceptions.
It's said that actors often are the complete opposite of what they portray on screen.
Allegedly, Sellers would wake up in the morning, take on a persona and be that person for a day.
One of his ex-wives said, "The trouble with being married to Peter was you never knew who you were going to wake up next to."

On the flip side, Vivian Vance was a true sweetheart. My mom got to meet her once. Ms. Vance was in town to be in a play and was looking for a good restaurant. When my mom helped her out, she was one of the nicest people you'd ever meet.
And they say some of Viv's putdowns of the hated Bill Frawley were pretty dang funny, too.
