Golden Era Gossip

These blinds are from the golden era of Hollywood when Louella and Hedda controlled the gossip rags and Cary Grant lived as a 'bachelor' with his '100% just a friend, honest' partner Randolph Scott. These blinds are a little safer as most of those featured are usually long gone. The default guess for all these golden gossip's is usually Errol Flynn. That guy knew how to live it up! 

What we have here is an actress who was definitely considered A list at the height of her fame. Academy Award nominated and in one of the most popular films of all time. Has a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Married to a director who, although, not as big as his actress wife, still happened to direct one of the most famous films of all time. Our director had been previously married and had children from that marriage. One of those children was a son. Well things happen as they say and the step mom actress and her step son just could not control what happened and eventually wound up in bed together. One day, the dad/husband/director came home to find his son and his wife having, umm relations. Well it turns out that the wife during the course of this marriage had children both from her director husband and also from her stepson.


YUCK!!! That is some Bouquet of Barbed Wire shit. After some Internet digging this has been revealed as Gloria Grahame, aka Violet from It's A Wonderful Life. 


This A++ movie actor was nominated for an Oscar but did not win. Everyone knows his name and the name of his partner. It turns out though that this actor also had a thing for little boys.


Because 'partner' is a clue, I don't think they mean wife. I think this is a professional partner. It sort of hurts my brain a little bit, but I will guess Fred Astaire. As far as I know he only got a 'special' Oscar. Other guesses: Bing Crosby and Jerry Lewis, both in famous partnerships but I think Bing might have actually won an Oscar. Any ideas?


This Academy Award winning actor was always portrayed as Mr. Tough Guy. Later in life he managed to irritate a great number of people by some things he said and did. Earlier in life he probably made some other people upset with his fondness for sleeping with underage boys and girls. Often at the same time.


CHARLTON 'from my cold dead hands' HESTON! He was my immediate thought as he did irritate people immensely with his opinions on gun ownership in later years.
