Rock Hudson would randomly pick up boys till her wife discovered him, and he admitted to her of having gay relationships but when asked from the media the good sis said he would pick boys up to give them a "ride"
I can't @ some of you not knowing James Dean and Marlon Brandon were bisexual/gay. They openly admitted it, unlike some certain Hollywood actors these days That makes me respect them more tbh. What kinda flawless, secure men?
Also, Paul Newman. He was also bisexual and reportedly before he became famous he met James Dean in an alley and gave him a BJ. James Dean and Marlon Brando also probably ****ed, though I'm not sure if I remember correctly.
The classic "Moon River" from Breakfast at Tiffany's almost didn't make the cut because a Paramount film executive thought the song was stupid and its inclusion in the film was pointless and wished to have it removed at the post-production meeting of the film but luckily, Audrey Hepburn was also present in the meeting and immediately said "Over my dead body!"
The now iconic track went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Grammy for Record and Song of the Year (Andy William's version).
Audrey ha power
Audrey Recognizing iconic songs from the start
Perhaps even more shocking though is the fact that Somewhere Over the Rainbow almost didn't make the Wizard of Oz, because producers had concerns about it dampening the mood of the film. And now its like the most iconic song ever...
OMG y'all better get into this legendary rundown of one of the most famous rivalry during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Trust me girls, this is such a read and conquers every pop girl's attempt at dragging and shading
The root of the rivalry:
Quote:
Bette had been jealous of Crawford's affair with Clark Gable, on whom she had a crush, but it was Franchot Tone who the two really fell out over. Tone, who was dating Crawford, was Davis's leading man in Dangerous. Davis fell in love with him, but he married Crawford.
Quote:
The love of Bette's life was a man she could never marry because he became Joan Crawford's second husband. "She took him from me," Davis admitted bitterly in 1987. "She did it coldly, deliberately and with complete ruthlessness. I have never forgiven her for that and never will."
Quote:
"He was madly in love with her," Davis admitted. "They met each day for lunch... he would return to the set, his face covered with lipstick. He made sure we all knew it was Crawford's lipstick. He was honoured that this great star was in love with him. I was jealous, of course." During the filming of Dangerous, Crawford announced her engagement to Tone. To Davis's fury, they married in New Jersey soon after the film wrapped.
The Oscar Incident:
Quote:
The hostility between the two women surfaced at the Oscars, where Davis was nominated as Best Actress. Doubting she would win, Bette wore a simple navy blue dress to the ceremony. As her name was announced the winner, Tone leapt to his feet and embraced her. But his wife remained seated, her back to Davis, until her husband said: "Darling!" Turning her head, the immaculately groomed and spectacularly gowned Crawford looked Davis up and down and then observed acidly: "Dear Bette! What a lovely frock."
Bette Davis' dwindling stardom and Joan Crawford's rise to stardom:
Quote:
As Bette's star began to dim, Crawford moved from MGM to Warner Bros, where she demanded the dressing room next to that of Davis. In her first major movie for the studio, Mildred Pierce, Crawford upstaged Davis by winning a Best Actress Oscar, and was signed by Warner Bros on a seven-year contract at $200,000 a film. Davis was aghast. Having watched helplessly as Crawford stole the love of her life, she now looked on as her rival took her Hollywood crown.
Quote:
Crawford did her best to win Davis over, sending a stream of flowers and gifts next door, but all were returned (with Davis making sneering remarks about "lesbian overtures").
Movie team-up (What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?):
Quote:
When Crawford started sending little gifts and notes to the crew to win their affection, Davis sent her a note telling her to "GET OFF THE CRAP".
Quote:
Davis used to talk loudly about "that phony ****" within Crawford's earshot.
Quote:
For the scene where Jane beats Blanche, Crawford was concerned that Davis would actually hurt her, and asked for a body double. There was one close up however, that a double could not be used for. When this was filmed, Davis did clip Crawford's head - Crawford screamed, and filming stopped. "I barely touched her" said Davis, unapologetic. Others claim that she left Crawford in need of stitches. When the filming was finished, Davis was screaming in agony, and Crawford strolled back to her dressing room.
*The gash which Joan obtained had a lump the size of an egg*
The Oscar Incident Part II
Quote:
It was Davis, not Crawford who was nominated at the Oscars for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? the following year. Davis was the favourite to win, so as the nominations were read out she put out her cigarette and handed her purse to a friend, ready to go and collect the award. When the winner's name was read out, she was surprised it was not her; however she was flabbergasted when Crawford pushed past her, saying "excuse me, I have an Oscar to collect" and stole her limelight again. What Davis did not know was that Crawford, as well as campaigning against her, had arranged with several of the other nominated actresses, who could not be present, that she would collect the award on their behalf.
Joan Crawford's death and Academy Awards tribute:
Quote:
At the following year's Academy Awards, at which Davis was a presenter, the wide eyes of Joan Crawford, the ultimate movie star, filled the screen to audience applause. Looking at a monitor, Davis paused and said of her enemy: "Poor Joan, gone but not forgotten. Bless you!"
That rumor was rampant during the whole debacle when Grace Kelly won over her but considering how she really wanted to win that Oscar so badly I wouldn't put it past her
Brando made the following comment about his sex life in an interview with Gary Carey, for his 1976 biography The Only Contender, "Homosexuality is so much in fashion it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me. But if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers, may they continue to do so. I find it amusing.

Is that legit?
