Discussion: Hollywood Exposés and Revelations

katyperryismylife

In celebration of the 86th Annual Academy Awards tonight, this thread serves as a platform for ATRLers to share a piece of their knowledge and interesting trivias about Hollywood and its stars.

Post your own known exposés, interesting stories and perpetually well-oiled rumors surrounding all of these stars -- golden age or modern-day -- whom we all adore and look up to.

I'll start:

When Grace Kelly pulled an upset and won the Oscar for 1954 Best Actress in her performance for "The Country Girl" over the incredible performance for "A Star is Born" by Judy Garland who was the shoo-in at that time, it was reported that Judy called Grace personally that night and told her this:

Quote:

“This is Judy Garland, Judy ****ing Garland. You bitch! You took what was rightfully mine. [Garland was also nominated for “Best Actress” for her work in A Star Is Born, and favored to win.] Tonight was my last chance for the Oscar. You’ll have many more chances in your future. This was it for me. I’ll never forgive you.” Or in other words, “What don’t you ****ing understand? You and me are done professionally.”

Despite her classy and elegant image, Grace Kelly was actually a **** and bedded 90% of her leading men with many whom were married

She even had an affair with her bridesmaid's husband on the night of her wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco or the following days after that

PersonalJesus

I remember reading somewhere that Elizabeth Taylor was a good friend of James Dean and he told her he was gay and that Elizabeth hold his secret for a long time

Yes, that was true.

. Elizabeth Taylor was a supporter for gay men in the movie industry

. James Dean slept with established men to help progress his career. He was an insomniac and tore up about his sexuality but he did sleep with both men and women

. Marlon Brando had same sex experiences

. Marilyn Monroe's plastic surgery was minor and not as extensive as people perpetuate it. She just got a minor chin implant and minor rhinoplasty

. Mae West was a supporter for gay rights and very much sexual to the point where she was controversial a la madonna

. Dorothy Dandridge was supposed to star in "Th eKing & I" among othe rnotable films but turned down many roles. So the calls stopped coming and her career died. The reason she did this was following the advice of the married director known as Otto Preminger who she had an affair with, after working together on Carmon Jones

. Frances Framer was notable for these scandals

Quote:

At the same time of her hairdresser's assault charge, police were after Farmer for an unpaid fine for driving drunk with her lights on in a War Zone. From the moment they entered her room to take her into custody, she started fighting. She threw an inkwell at a judge who then sentenced her to 180 days, to which she responded by knocking down a policeman, bruising another, and was promptly carried away.

After receiving unwanted shock therapy and assaulting her mother, she lived with a family that picked her up hitchhiking. After being arrested for vagrancy, she spent five years in a psych ward.

Audrey Hepburn was actually involved in a car accident (with some whom believe was because of DUI) back then that was never widely publicized.

Here are pictures of her in the court trying to explain the accident:

Quote:

In the Audrey Hepburn biography entitled "Enchantment" author Donald Spoto made mention on page 192 that Audrey Hepburn was involved in a car accident right before principle photography began on Green Mansions.

Quote:

He wrote: "Audrey drove as usual from [her] rented house to the studio. As she approached the corner of Beverly Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard, a car raced toward her from the left. To avoid collision, Audrey had to speed across the intersection where she crashed into the rear of a car driven by a woman named Joan Paladini, a young actress known as Joan Lora.

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 don't know if I really think the Judy Garland calling Grace Kelly actually happened. I guess it could have but...

Also:

. Loretta Young had a secret child with Clark Gable and even had surgery to make the child not resemble clark as much.

. Gene Tierney had a fling with a young JFK but broke it off because she didn't agree with his politics and instead voted for Nixon

. Lana Turner's daughter stabbed her abusive husband to death

. Tallulah Bankhead boldly told this quote to Joan Crawford:

Quote:

"Darling, you're divine. I've had an affair with your husband. You'll be next."

http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2...lulah-bankhead

. Jayne Mansfield had a high IQ and spoke several languages, but was marketed as a second rate dumb blonde. She tried to get more serious with her roles but her star diminshed because of her numerous antics such as constantly having planned nip slips in public places.

. Clara Bow had to suffer form publications lying that she was promiscuous (threesomes, sex with numerous men and women) and into bestiality. Which diminished her celebrity

. Marilyn Monroe was very intelligent but forced to play her dumb blonde roles but rebelled numerous times till she got more artistic freedom. Plus she never had an affair with RFK and according to Donald Spoto the JFK affair was grossly exaggerated. Was a call girl but the stories of her having multiple abortions, making **** films or sleeping for come ups were found to be lies.

Yup he was bisexual if you were good looking or could give him a come up. He would top you, I don't know if he bottomed though. Montgomery Clift was gay also

During the filing of Giant, Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson made a bet to see who could seduce James Dean first and sleep with him. Supposedly Rock Hudson won.

The good sis Nancy Davis who went on to become the first lady Nancy Reagan actually had a very "infamous" title in her early acting days

Quote:

According to Kitty Kelley's biography, the future first lady "was renowned in Hollywood for performing oral sex." Back when she was Nancy Davis, the actress reportedly went down on many an actor "not only in the evening but in offices. That was one of the reasons that she was very popular on the MGM lot."
