Not mentioned: Roscoe ‘Fatty’ Arbuckle/Virginia Rappe scandal.
Lupe Vélez and Judy Garland stories, and lack of safety on the sets
Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys
Was every old timey man a monster?!
Possibly the whole Woody Allen and Soon-yi Previn business. Excessively creepy situation and reeks of grooming. He has the image of a charmingly awkward sort, but that really shatters the fairly innocent perception one might have of him.
Also all the blatant underage stuff in general.
Shirley Temple wrote a book where she describes making "baby burlesque " movies and having to fend off several offenders during her career even as a child. No wonder she retired at 22 years old from making films.
Yes and became a succesful diplomatic woman!!!
So...even back then, Hollywood's filled with pedophilic creeps?
Well she also had a baby at that time and had a toxic marriage to John Agar, who was an alcoholic. So glad she met the love of her life and didn't fall into the dark side of child stars when they got older.
The videos of temple in baby hooker stories are available on you tube.
Child pornography!
It really sucks that _The Wizard of Oz,_ one of the greatest films of all time, saw it's star treated so poorly behind the scenes. No one should have to go through all that, let alone a child. Rest in peace, Judy Garland.
forget the star... that entire film is a modern day safety nightmare. It's a damn good thing that it turned out as well as it did because it wasn't worth what its people went through
Let's no forget the dangers long time with cancer due the fake snow was toxic.
@Manuel Tapia yep, that was straight up asbestos 😢
Those people at MGM should have been locked up for the way they treated Judy
Let us not forget that the original tin man had to be hospitalized because the original silver makeup was just terrible stuff.
Judy Garland and along with many actresses who were treated like garbage and made them do something they didn’t want to do, deserves tons of hugs. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Yes they deserved love and caring. I think some things don't change
It's actually a bit worse than the video makes it out to be, because the drug use was initiated by Judy's mother, though MGM certainly didn't discourage it.
"Abusive" doesn't begin to describe how the old Hollywood studio system treated actors, especially young actresses like Judy Garland and Elizabeth Taylor.
And the people who harmed them, prison time.
Tallulah Bankhead looked like she was one of those women that were like, f*ck what people think of me, I’m not afraid to speak my mind and I’m enjoying life.
But her debauched, boozing and drug-taking life meant she died before she was old. She also looked ten years older than she actually was.
It's a shame that the wizard of Oz was such a toxic work place for her... my heart breaks every time I hear it
Me too
And saddly only was the starting of that!!!
Me too.
Same. It's different watching it now when you know what Judy went through. 😐
There was a documentary, that basically highlights that the entire film shoot was a dumpster fire. It is crazy to watch.
I’m surprised that you didn’t have the murder of Lana Turner’s lover by her daughter in 1958 on the list.
I remember that my mom had the book, 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒓 by Cheryl Crane, which was autobiographical and centered on her stabbing Johnny Stompanato to death when Cheryl was only 14.
He was a small-time gangster who Cheryl apparently overheard threatening to kill her mother. It was considered Justifiable Homicide, but Cheryl was still sentenced to juvenile detention.
I’d flip through it, and I did read some of it (ADD makes it REALLY DIFFICULT for me to read an entire book from cover to cover).
I’ve always been very curious with and fascinated by old Hollywood.
It’s because the video was made by someone under 40 who seems like they just learned what old Hollywood was and made a lazy list of events that were not even known when they happened.
Speculation is the mom did it but the daughter copped to it to save her mom.
Me too
Yes! This was crazy!!
The Fatty Arbuckle case deserved to be on this list, as well as the William Desmond Taylor murder.
Fatty was framed.
Poor man was destroyed by the very public he lived to entertain.
what they did to Fatty is gut wrenching. A good man wronged on such a huge scale. So sad.
It’s disgusting how no one was liable for the abuse of these children mentioned in this ..
I'm I'm wondering where their parents were? They were the ones responsible for their children's safety and well being. Crazy.
I love that msmojo is producing old Hollywood videos, everyone should know about what happened in the past. It's not all glitz and glamour
It's been really fascinating for us to work on!
What they did to Judy breaks My heart😩😭😠😠
Fun Fact: Peg Entwhistle was a huge inspiration for Bette Davis to begin her own acting career. She even got her stage name from the play Cousin Bette in which Entwhistle starred. When Entwhistle died, Davis was devastated. In the biography that I have of her, the author who did an extended interview with her wrote that she still got emotional talking about it.
I suppose to her it felt like losing her hero and her big sister.
Bette was also said, in her day, to physically resemble Peg Entwistle. I've read that in a few places, and heard her say it in at least one interview.
I am a huge Bette Davis fan, but I never heard about this! Thanks for the info.
@@benkenobisgirl She's my second favorite actress after Katharine Hepburn.
little fact: Monroe and Garland were close friends and would sometimes talk to each other about their problems, Garland even once said the if Monroe had problems she could come to her to talk, this talk never happened and both sadly died, both to drugs
I love it how Judy cared about Marilyn. She understanded her problems because she has been through it also. They both deserved better❤
What? Really? I don't know that they know each other 😮
You left out, Errol Flynn His scandal ruined his career.
They need to make a part 2 to this
Scandals!😮😢
Speaking of Elizabeth Taylor, you forgot for sure to add the scandal when she got involved with Richard Burton on the set of Cleopatra when they were both still married.
That should be number one! They got condemned by the Pope for crying out loud 😂
I thought you all would mention the Fatty Arbuckle trial scandal.
You forgot Lana Turner and the murder of her Mafia boyfriend her daughter took the heat for killing. No one believed it was the daughter, but as a minor she wouldn't get the same sentence Turner would have. Of course Turner could have said it was self defense.
My dad is a Hollywood scandal. My grandmother was an actress with MGM and later Fox. She sang for 2 big actresses who could not sing and she was in a lot of musicals and movies. Donald O’Connor was one of her best friends, as was Shirley Temple. She had an affair with 2 married movie stars. My dad didn’t know who his real dad was until he did the ancestry dna. We weren’t surprised at all. Me and my dads siblings always knew who it was. She never told my dad. He had to find out after she passed.
Also, my grandmother hung out with Judy Garland quite a bit and said that Judy’s mom and Louis B. Mayer would often gang up on Judy. Telling her she was fat, and needed to work harder (well into 14 hour days) and that they made Judy take a lot of uppers to keep her working for days straight and downers because she couldn’t sleep. Judy was their slave! She was very abused, and controlled. My gran said it was so upsetting and that she and a lot of other friends wanted to help her, but her mother practically kept her under lock and key.
I'd really like to know who your dad's father was!
Tallullah Bankhead reportedly said, “It’s easy to quit cocaine. I’ve quit many times”.
I'm surprised they didn't talk about the death of Virginia Rappe and the blame put on Roscoe Arbuckle
George Reeves quit the role of Superman because he was nearing forty. However, he wanted to become a director and he planned on directing future episodes of "The Adventures of Superman". According to his co-star, Phylis Coates, he also had a script for a sci-fi film he wanted to direct and he asked her to star in it. In Tim Hanley's book, "Investigating Lois Lane", in the months leading up to Reeves' death, his dog had been stolen and he'd gotten into a suspicious car accident (the brakes had been tampered with). This was after he'd left Toni Mannix for Lenore Lemon. The book "Hollywood Kryptonite" by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger makes a compelling argument that Reeve's murder was caused by a scorned Toni Mannix.
The way Judy Garland was treated makes my blood boil. Her mother is at fault! Disgusting woman!
You could probably do a whole video on McCarthyism and the black listing that occurred and all the pseudonyms people used to still work
Joe McCarthy was RIGHT!
I'm loving these MsMojo videos about old Hollywood because, as someone from outside the U.S but loves to read articles about old Hollywood, I get to learn these.
The pregnancy termination was something I remember reading about all the time
Contraception/pregnancy prevention wasn’t easily available or reliable back then. The contraceptive pill was made more available and reliable after the 1960s.
Also, women were basically treated like they didn’t have reproductive choices or reproductive rights back then. Forced termination of pregnancy was part of the misogynistic patriarchal system in American society that treated women like cattle. It wasn’t just Hollywood that did that.
I'm surprised you didn't include Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was arrested for the rape and murder of a model and actress named Virginia Rappé. He went through three hung juries before he was found not guilty. She died for a rupture of the bladder.
There was also a scandal involving Fatty Arbuckle that basically ended his career.
I know, I was shocked that the Arbuckle Trial was not on here. That is the most well known Hollywood Scandal in history
It should’ve been number 1. It’s one of the big reasons the production code was put into effect.
Was expecting that to be on here!
@@sterlingross919 no it’s not, the Fatty incident happened more then a decade before the Hayes Code.
@@alexflowers97 You are correct. What I meant is that when the Production code was first introduced, Arbuckle's trial was considered one of the more prominent examples of the "moral decay" of hollywood. The trial also led to the beginning of Hollywood's self-censorship that eventually culminated in the Production code. I appreciate the Jean Harlow profile pic, btw. She's my favorite!
Peg Entwistle was the step mother of Family Affair's Brian Keith, who also committed suicide shortly after his own daughter did the same. Tragic.
Loving all these videos Msmojo are putting out about Old Hollywood🤩so interesting
We all appreciate the time and effort you put in this well researched and edited content💛
Her family was from Jasper, Alabama, where there is a brewery named in her honor. On the doors that go to the patio outside, it is says, "Swings Both Ways." Loved that slight nod to the real person!
The tragedy of the John Wayne/Susan Hayworth movie set that was made near the nuclear test site. They didn’t know about winds blowing the radiation around. Many of those people who worked on that film died of cancer. One site claims that of the 220 people working that movie set, 90 would get cancer.
I had expected that to be in there... it reminds me of actors in the 18th and 19th century who would die of lead-poisoning because it was used in stage-make up and again, nobody realized the danger.
Susan Hayward, Agnes Moorehead, John Wayne, Dick Powell. Yes, over 200 on the set in Utah, 90 people, including Hayward, Moorehead, Wayne and Powell.. 46 of them died.. unfortunately the 4 aforementioned. ALL Great Actresses/ Actors, but Ms. Moorehead was my favourite!!!! 💜⚘️
I'm sorry, but I had to skip the one about Judy Garland. I've already heard about it, and I don't want to again! 😣💔 Rest easy over the rainbow, Judy. There's always a rainbow after the rain. 🌈
One thing that I thought would be for sure on the list is the accusations made against Joan Crawford after her death by her adopted daughter Christie which she wrote about in Mommie Dearest (which subsequently became the film with Faye Dunaway). She claims that she was horribly abused by Joan, and while lots of people in Hollywood said that Joan would never have done such a thing and called Christie a liar, there are very specific examples in the book and Joan left her children nothing in her will with the statement of "It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them." SUS.
Actress June Allyson & Lana Turner's daughter Cheryl both spoke in TV interviews about witnessing abuse. Cheryl said Lana knew when she told her, but said "you don't talk about your coworkers in this industry". Christina's brother backed her story up. It's also mentioned in Kirk Douglas's autobiography that when dating Joan, he saw the children strapped to their beds at night. By the time she adopted the twins, the 2 older children were packed off to boarding school. Joan married a wealthy Pepsi exec so her declining career wasn't such an issue & she'd cut down on her drinking.
A lot more people confirmed her awful behavior. She had to buy her children because it was recognized she was a narcissist and unfit to be a mother.
She was a great actress but horrible mom.
I'm guessing that from her obsession to be an famous actress, and a perfectionist, and other narcissist behavior, she more than likely was abusive to her children, some woman are just too selfish to be a mother!
Tragic love affair between Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddie, they loved each other but were both married. Sad. The studio forbid them from being together or marrying.
Say, what about that time aging silent film legend Norma Desmond plugged some guy a few times with a snubnose and left him floating in her pool at her Sunset Boulevard home? That was quite the kerfuffle. 😏
Great movie.😅
How about the murder of Thelma Todd as well as the murder of Paul Bern, Jean Harlow’s husband? In both cases the LA district attorney was a same person and much later in his life he committed suicide
What about Hollywood director Nicholas Ray’s wife actress Gloria Graham’s affair with her 13 year old stepson whom she later married and went on to have a child with. They would later divorced. Yuk!
Great start with the wonderful Tallulah Bankhead. Also, showing the clips from Lifeboat. There's an alledged Hitchcock quote connected to the movie and Tallu. Apparently, she didn't care for underwear, and during the shooting of Lifeboat there was a number of scenes that involved climbing up and down ladders. Comments were made to Hitch about Tallulah not wearing any knickers. His response was "Is that a problem for wardrobe or hairdressing?" Love Tallulah. I have a framed photo of her on my Girl Wall alongside Myrna Loy and Clara Bow.
Yes. I've read that story too.
J edgar Hoover was one serpent of a man
Both FDR and Harry Truman despised Hoover and tried to fire him bit Hoover used blackmail on his political opponents.
@@michaelverbakel7632 not surprised
Rumor has it that Hoover was being blackmailed by the Mafia over his closeted "lifestyle"...
Dory Previn also sang about Peg Entwhistle …”she climbed to the top of the Hollywood sign and with the smallest possible fuss, she jumped off the letter H because she could not become a star, she died in less than a minute and a half, she looked a bit like Hedy Lamar”.
Hedy Lamar, most emphatically, did not have pale blue eyes.
Do you think that she's the spirit that people have seen near the Hollywood sign?
The Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle scandal and the death of the aspiring actress Virginia Rappe is one you omitted.
Parents of child stats need to understand their children are not paychecks. Too many parents have traded their children's souls for a piece of that pie and in turn destroyed them. The Coreys are a big example, drew Barrymore, Aaron and Nick Carter, Lindsey Lohan, Brittney Spears, Jessica and Ashley Simpson are some examples off the top of my head. They've had addiction issues that have killed some, mental health issues etc etc. I think we're going to start seeing the same thing happening with UA-cam child content creators and how their parents are doing the stage parent and treating their children like a wallet. It's disgusting and should be considered a form of abuse.
I remember when Kit Culkin was barred from the Fox lot because he was so obnoxious. And his awful wife too. They had seven kids and worked them like dogs. One of them, I think it was Macauley, later famously sued them for "divorce." The only nice stage parent I ever heard of was George DiCaprio, a prince among men.
William Desmond Taylor's murder, the studios possibly covering up his supposed homosexuality, and the studios subsequent destroying Mary Miles Minters career.
I thought the murder of William Desmond Taylor might make the list. I also thought the Fatty Arbuckle Virginia Rappe scandal would have been on your list.
Huh? Nothing about Lana Turner killing her mobster boyfriend and pinning it on her 13 year old daughter to get out of it.
It's weird that the Kennedy/Monroe was the scandal when it was really gossip now a scandal Monroe had was her calender/playboy
Being spied from the FBI is just so terrifying.😣
And they're back doing it today with better technology. Extremely frightening.
The death of Natalie Wood!
She's not considered 'old Hollywood'
Happened in 1981.
@@huchlvr Really?
@@freya8133 That's NOT 'old Hollywood'. OH is considered pre-1960.
Reading history and biographies, what you learn is that this stuff has always been going on. The only thing that seems remarkable today is how great the difference was between the public image and what actually went on. You marvel at the human ability to pretend that you are something you are not.
I can't believe I'm the only one putting this, but what about Merle Oberon hiding her ethnicity?
I hate the fact that still to this day that there are many folks out there that still claim that Judy Garland died due to a drug overdose or due to an drug addiction. When Judy passed in 1969 in the UK, there was an extensive autopsy done with an extensive toxicology exam done on her to see what she really died from. What drugs that were in her system were at levels that were barely at theraputic levels or were at theraputic levels. It was later determined that Judy Garland died due the fact that her body was no longer strong enough anymore to sustain itself. The drugs may have had some effect in Garland's death, but not in the way that most folks still think. Peace & Blessings to Judy Garland and her family.
Yes let's no forget that they forced take pills to Made her awake and to sleep imagine how damage done to her body!!!!
I think Vivian Leigh died in similar fashion, only difference, was that she was a few years older but still 😢
@@sdmurphy20 I remember reading that she died of tuberculosis, but you are right, like Judy she had several health problems.
Her drug addiction didn't exactly help her health.
@@sdmurphy20 Leigh had tuberculosis?
Hollywood's most notorious scandals would need a few hours to cover. The Twilight Zone movie accident being one of many.
I agree - but I don't think that counts under "Old Hollywood".
Having said that, I recognise you weren't saying that it did. Just clarifying in case of confusion 🙂
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 there's a book called Hollywood Babylon published in 1959 that details past sorded events. Interesting reading.
@@captlazer5509 Yeah... the book itself is sordid. Kenneth Anger was pretty far from a reliable researcher - it's not exactly a respected book, I'm afraid 😕
I can't believe you all didn't include the William Desmond Taylor murder!
Ms Bankhead out there living her best life. Love that for her
Tippi Hedren's response to Hitchcock was 𝙀𝙋𝙄𝘾!! You go girl🤘
He made her a star. She was a television talent at best. None of his other leading ladies complained about him like she did.
@@tricivenola8164 What’s your point then? That she made it up? When she stood up to him he killed her career! Every other actress he worked with was probably terrified he’d do the same to them!
I like to try and guess what will be on these lists when they start. I was thinking the Black Dahlia or the Fatty Arbuckle scandal, but then I remembered that the Mojo folks ain't as ancient as I am. lol
Once Upon a CRIME in Hollywood 📰
Great video, even it was quite disturbing.
1968 silent film 📽️ star Ramon Navarro. Killed by two men in his home in Southern California. Both convicted killers were released in the mid 70s. The Mexican actor was gay and isn't spoken about enough. 😢
Bankhead was definitely investigated by British authorities after affairs with Eton students (she was in a West End production then). They were trying to figure out how they could legally deport her. I read her PRO file. Can't remember all of it but I know messing with the sons of the elite was upsetting to the well heeled.
It should have been investigated! Much as I admire bad-ass women in history, if we reversed the genders and a male Hollywood star was shagging female schoolgirls, he would be kicked out of the country and tried for rape!
@@annoir It was a long time ago. They wouldn't have done it.
Other scandals: Death of Thelma Todd, divorce of Mary Astor.
Mary Astor, the supposed ace fellatrix of Hollywood.
Cheryl Crane killed her mother Lana Turner’s lover Johnny Stompanato and the Black Dahlia
Surprised the unsolved mystery death of Bob Crane from Hogan's Heroes didn't make the list. Still remember that from when I was growing up.
He’s not “old Hollywood”.
@@missmayflower Sal Mineo's murder, then. Before Crane's, presumably by a rent boy.
He was found bludgeoned to death in 1978. His murder was never solved.
he never got many good acting jobs after Hogans heros, maybe a bit of type cast and his reputation for being a perv
It's technically unsolved, but anyone familiar with the case knows that his friend John Carpenter killed him (not the director).
Charlie chaplins career never recovered after 1927? Well, he did that little movie satire of Hitler
Can we get a part 2 please!
Yeah I was really sad I watch something about Judy Garland in The wizard of Oz and I guess the munchkins were trying to sexually assault her all the time and the director would slap her in the face because she couldn't stop laughing they called her an ugly disgusting pig in a dress with pigtails it was so sad I couldn't really watch the documentary without crying it was horrible what she went through and a lot of other starlets of that age too it's insane how much all the, "bigwigs," and higher-ups got away with it's just so sad and disgusting
J. Edgar was a terrifying man.
Especially in a dress and high heels.
Seems like Hollywood has only gotten worse since the old days.
even though these things happened these studios should be help accountable for these behaviors
I had read a long time ago that Loretta Young had actually adopted two children at first and then returned the second one, keeping her birth daughter Judy.
Loretta and Clark epitomize a lot of what was wrong with Hollywood.
Myrna Loy was Clark’s best friend and closest confidante. You can see the love and affection they have for each other in how they look at each other. Genuinely platonic. She spoke about how much he hated the public role he was expected to play, to be the “man’s man,” yet behind closed doors, he loved to read poetry aloud. He was a soft-hearted man. He himself said he didn’t know why he was a big deal when he ate and slept and went to the bathroom like everyone else (he really said that-the *bathroom*). Yet he was expected to play a role at all times.
Loretta was too, in a time when men were supposed to be aggressors and women were supposed to coyly refuse and then give in, as that made it more okay. You see, she didn’t *want* to, but my oh my, that big, handsome man won’t stop and so it must be okay. That kind of bullshit. And men were expected to play that part.
You take a situation where real people are expected to live pubic lives that doesn’t match who they are, and it gets to be impossible even for them to know what’s real and what’s make-believe, even among themselves. James Dean and Marilyn Monroe are both known to have struggled severely enough with this that it contributed to their deaths. And that leads to a situation like Loretta and Clark, where they both had roles, where she really didn’t want to, but felt she had to, and he very likely didn’t know if it was real or pretend any more than she did. Keep in mind, the studio would order their stars to get married, and they did. Clark, while being seen as “the king of Hollywood,” wasn’t someone with the power to ruin her life, like a studio exec (in fact, the his studio would punish him if they thought he was getting difficult).
The aftermath sucked. She felt understandably violated even though she couldn’t admit that at the time, didn’t want an abortion, had to go into hiding, and then Clark had to treat his own daughter like a stranger. There’s nothing to indicate he could have ignored his own child had he been given a free choice that wouldn’t harm real people.
Clark is treated like a villain these days when the reality is an abusive system’s demands made them unable to tell what was real from what was just roles to play and that forced them to hide their real thoughts and feelings, even from each other. Combine that with already-toxic societal expectations, and it’s amazing we haven’t heard so much worse all the time. I really put the culpability on those in charge of the system, not on the people who likely played coy instead of saying No or the people who thought the truth was act. It was a fucked system, and Hollywood still does it today, especially with teenagers.
"Returned" a child? That poor child
Umm why is no one mentioning Bette Davis and Joan Crawford’s feud? 🤣
clark gable love child..i have always had such a crush on him and love his movies i cant believe i never heard of it
I wish we could listen to these people today and show them how much better they deserved.
Judy garland was such a beautiful and talented girl! Such a shame what happened to her!
You left out Clara Bow, could have made two part movie on her.
She never did an entire football team though.
Poor Clara was treated so poorly by her bosses, and was so maligned.
The wizard of oz so iconic
That aviation accident must have affected Howard Hughes in later life. You can't be involved in something like that and not suffer permanent harm.
Amongst the worst deaths of stuntmen in those days, was one man who fell out of his plane, crashing into the ground feet first, with horrific consequences. The first black and white version of Ben Hur, like the later colour Charlton Heston featured a chariot race....several of the racers died or were injured. There were some minor injuries in the colour version, but nothing like in the black and white version. Some old films kept footage in them, where you can see accidents happening.
Bankhead was a rockstar hell anyone would date her true badass
Sorry, sort of missed William Desmond Taylor.
Anyone find it interesting that Leo played 5 & 6 in biopics?
What about Bob Crane's murderer? I think that should have been on this list.
He's not considered 'old Hollywood'.
Love you used clips from Drunk History
Loved Hollywoodland
It's a shame that J. Edgar Hoover wasn't at the Little Bohemia the night of the shootout. Would have saved so many people so much grief if he was killed. Probably trying on new cock n tail dresses that night...
Remember people said that the Hollywood sign was haunted and they said they saw a lady dressed a 1930 white clothes well that lady was a stage actress Peg enwhistle who was sad that she didn't get role
Gloria Grahame? Slept with her 13 year old stepson, the son of Nicholas Ray. Then she married the stepson when he turned 19 and had a baby by him...
Seeing as she also had a baby by Nicholas Ray, the older baby was both the Uncle and half brother of the new baby...
And Anthony Ray was both the Brother and Stepfather of Nicholas Ray's child with Grahame.
She wasn't Old Hollywood. She was a 50s actress. Old Hollywood, for me, is 1930s and 1940s.
@@susi-emily She was in "It's a Wonderful Life." 1946
Hitchcock was a horrible cruel man.
wow...maybe there was a reason why Prince Rainier didn't want Grace to continue her acting career he must have known something but just didn't tell her
Genius filmmaker though.
I'm surprised that the Fatty Arbuckle story wasn't on here.
That happened before "the golden age" they're talking about
Did you just casually drop and speed past the detail that Clark Gable was a r*pist? 😦
Yeah, that was a hell of a detail!
She came up with that gem to dodge responsibility for her own actions. It’s so easy to throw dirt on someone who can’t defend themselves
I'm surprised no mention of the Fatty Arbuckle scandal.
1922 was pre Golden Age
Ever hear of Fatty Arbuckle?
The Black Dahlia murder.
Not "Hollywood", as is not to do with movies. Elizabeth Short wasn't an actress.
@@susi-emily She wasn't a SUCCESSFUL actress. But yes, she considered herself an actress. Google it.
THAT'S SHOW BUSINESS.
"Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenger on Seattle..." Kurt Cobain wrote a song about it. Look into this tragedy.
No she wont
My friend told me that Chaplin was physically endowed. He had to have special underpants designed. That's the real scandal.
This is a good video but omfg the erasure of the Bergman/Rossellini affair…
non-consensual interaction? In Scotland we call that rape
J. Edgar Hoover was a creep.
The Thomas ince murder was in the movie The Cats Meow. It's FANTASTIC!
And see Hail Ceasar which is a HILARIOUS Coen bros movie about the Studio system in the 50s
