30 Awful Nasty RUMORS From The OLD Golden Age Of Hollywood

Ah, the allure of Old Hollywood, where stars wore an innocent veneer like a glamorous mask. But as we peel back the layers, you'll discover that even in Tinseltown's golden era, nothing was ever truly 100% innocent.

Re: Joan Crawford’s stepfather-An adult male isn’t “involved” with an 11 year old girl. If there is a sexual relationship, the adult is abusing, molesting, and interfering with the child. Saying he was “involved” implies that she had some agency in the relationship. She was 11. Don’t let abusers off the hook by softening language.

Joan Crawford was involved with her step-father at 11? Why phrase abuse like they had a affair? Weird. Exiting video

[rlmack]

Inaccurate in far too many ways. This should be taken down.

" I blame nobody for my fall." " I think I've won the right to control myself". If that quote which Francis Farmer was supposed to have made at the end of this video is really attributed to her, then it is the most profound words of self accountability that I've ever heard. She gets my deepest respect.

Loretta Young was not Clark Gable's co-star in Gone with the Wind. She only auditioned for the role of Scarlett O'Hara.

Marion Davies was the mistress not wife of William Randolph Hearst

Marilyn Monroe was the original, blonde bombshell? So Jean Harlow and Mae West never existed? They were stars when Marilyn was too young for kindergarten.

[auapplemac]

Marilyn was not the original Blonde Bombshell. Jean Harlow was!

My grandfather worked at MGM during "The Golden Age". Had encounters with old Louie B. Had nothing good to say about him, that he was a real piece of work. Grandpa told me some sad stories about some of those actors and more so the actresses.

I was snoozing my way through and awakened to glaring errors that make me doubt... Jerry Lee Lewis was 22, not a 22 year gap, followed by Clark Gable / Loretta Young liason after filming Call of the Wild, not Gone with the Wind... All needs review to determine accuracy of any story.

[elizabethpengson]

Sorry..but the original blonde bombshell was Jean Harlow who died at only 26.. She was one of first stars developed by Howard Hughes

[cynthiaslater]

I agree with previous comments that this video needed fact checking. My offering: Marian Davies was William R. Hearst's mistress, not his wife.

[rha]

I guess Vintage TV never lets a fact stand in the way of a good story.

[GeneMThompson]

Judy Garland was 13 when she signed her MGM contract… not 14

Marion Davies was Hearst’s mistress, not his wife

Loretta Young’s fling with Gable was when they were making ”Call of the Wild” together in 1935… she was not even in GWTW

The simplest of details in this video are horrendously inaccurate

[jamesrobiscoe]

Yes, a fact check is required. This piece could be subtitled Fantasy Fiction and Scurrilous Scandals.

[debbiep]

Maureen O’Hara is not “best remembered” for _Miracle on 34th Street_ ; she made many other memorable movies, including _The Quiet Man_ with John Wayne.

[tricivenola]

Jean Harlow was the Original Blonde Bombshell. Jerry Lee Lewis was 22 when he married his cousin, only 9 years older. Loretta Young was not in Gone With The Wind. Gable and Young were filming up in Alaska. I guess I won't finish this.

[rongenung]

Joan Crawford was so often made up in a way that made her look hard, or fierce, but if you look at the few times her makeup was more restrained or subtle, she was stunningly beautiful. She was also very well built and a talented dancer.

[thetruthbetold]

Loretta Young herself later admitted that Judy was not adopted but was the child conceived from a union with Clake Gable. Little Judy had Clark's protruding ears and her mom Loretta's high cheekbones.
