Today's Blind Items - The Pregnancies
There is an actor that is still working today and will always be a B lister because of his acting talent, although he had a very long absence because of these two incidents. No one would hire the Academy Award winner/nominee despite his pedigree because of what he did. Apparently time heals a lot of wounds but when you do what he did, it takes a long time and forgiveness from the two women involved.
Back at the height of his fame which was not that long ago, he met up with this very underage teen who had just hit it big and was partying up a storm. When I say teen, I mean barely a teen, but still the biggest story out there. She was a wild child and was not above getting wasted out of her mind. Frequently. Daily even. No family who cared so she was on her own and this actor took advantage of that and had sex with her. She had sex previously but it was with guys just a little older than her, not a guy in his 30's/40's. He did it more than once. In fact he moved her in with him for about a month and then she got pregnant and he kicked her out and sent her back home to her family. What to do? The family sent her to get an abortion and also to rehab. Nothing really happened to the actor at that time. Later though he got into more trouble.
The actor was involved with a woman who is also an actress and is a good solid B-/C+ to this day. Talented. She is very talented. They had a consensual relationship, although any relationship with this actor was always fraught with verbal and physical abuse. He beat her and yelled at her. She too got pregnant and wanted her to have an abortion. She refused. He would beat her on a daily basis to get her to change her mind. She refused. So, he beat her some more until finally one day she lost the baby. Two days later she was gone and so were his job prospects. Both actresses had powerful friends and this A lister who was on the top of his game just faded away almost instantly.
teen = Lindasy Lohan
ReplyDeleteactor = Benicio Del Toro
actress = ?
I'm never having children.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding, Trichy. What's up with all theses stories of men abusing women?
ReplyDeleteSorry, "these"!
ReplyDeleteI know this is not him but the second part reminds me of Michael Rappaport and Lilli Taylor.
ReplyDeleteLindsey seems right, I kinda like the Benicio guess. If we go with Benicio than we also need to consider Scarlett Johannson for the teen, I seem to recall them denying a fling. Or possibly SJ for the other actress.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the timeline matches up for Lohan and BTD. Barely a teen would be a 13 or 14 year old, something Lohan was back in the late 90's. BTD was nowhere near A list then.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Miley for the teen
Agree with Trichy. Never dating again, either.
ReplyDeleteMeant BDT, not BTD.
ReplyDelete@spacecowboy, I thought the same thing, but then thought maybe it was clunky language. Maybe barely a teen means someone almost 20.
ReplyDeleteI think Demi Lovato for the teen at the time.
ReplyDeleteEnty,
ReplyDeleteBarely a teen means 11/12 or 19/20??
This actor is disgusting. Does LL really have powerful friends?
ReplyDeleteTeen = Demi Levato? I feel like she's becoming the answer for every teen wild child blind lately though.
ReplyDeleteNo clue about actor and older actress.
Shouldn't the guy be in jail for beating up the actress and causing the miscarriage? Was it because they don't want this to get out to the public? Sad.
I am just gonna throw this out there and put Drew Barrymore as the teen. Not sure how old this blind is.
ReplyDelete@Nichole, someone like that would be described as "barely legal", like someone who just turned 18, you know, Joe Francis GGW types. This means someone who was a young teen.
ReplyDeleteI took barely a teen as just out of teen years..?
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, Sherlock, these blinds are blazingly hot lately!
ReplyDeleteWow, Enty, you are on FIRE these days!
(no guesses yet, though)
Ever since the Hayden reveal, all of these sound like her, lol. Wasn't Milo in his 30s when they dated? But he's never won an oscar.
ReplyDeleteI also think of Demi Lovato, but I know nothing about her other than she went to rehab.
Chloe Grace-Moretz for the teen?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Taylor Momsen or the youner Fanning girl?
ReplyDeleteTimothy Hutton vanished all of a sudden, didn't he? He was a big damn deal.
ReplyDeleteWarren Beatty for the actor Oscar winner and family pedigree. He has not done much in the last dozen years.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Drew Barrymore, too, because the blind says the actor had a very long absence. The more recent teens wouldn't seem to fit. However, Drew's family doesn't seem the type that would have taken care of her.
ReplyDeleteI always assumed "barely teen" meant 12/13/14 and "barely legal" meant 18/19.
ReplyDeleteI guess I was thinking older time frame too because I was thinking of Drew B too. Another name that dated Benicio was Alicia Silvertone though.
ReplyDeleteClatie, that's not a bad guess. Timothy Hutton's dad was an actor. The only thing that would possibly throw that off is that he was married to Debra Winger for quite a number of years and they had at least one child together.
ReplyDeleteI thought it sounded like Drew for the young teen too but I'm at a loss for everyone else.
ReplyDeleteI feel like this happened awhile ago, I like the Drew Barrymore guess because she went to rehab the first time at 13 I think. So barly teen = 13.
ReplyDeleteI think barely a teen means 18/19 because of the wording after it. "Barely a teen, BUT STILL the biggest story out there." If she were a young teen, it would definitely be the biggest story out there. As for guesses...I don't have any. Adrian Brody is the only actor I can think of that has won an academy award, dropped out of the lime light mostly. But I am grasping at straws.
ReplyDelete"Back at the height of his fame which was not that long ago"
ReplyDeleteI think that rules out any female over the age of 25, in my mind.
Pedigree here means his resume, not his family. Warren Beatty, as you said is no longer acting, the blind says this guy is.
ReplyDeleteUpon further review, I think this is slightly older than within the last decade, I don't think Demi, Miley, Lindsay etc, apply here. Someone said Drew Barrymore? What teen would've had more powerful connections?
Aw crap - I thought I had it with John Cusack/ Neve Campbell but then John has never been nominated for an Academy Award. I have heard is a real asshole, though.
ReplyDeleteJust throwing out some names:
ReplyDeleteedward norton
joaquin phoenix
ethan hawke
I thought John Cusack was nominated for The Grifters.
ReplyDeleteBenicio Del Toro still seems like a decent guess, I'm just not sure who the women in question were. And the other thing is that I know he had a kid with Kimberly Stewart, although they are not a couple. Hmmm, maybe she was the one who got away.
I am throwing this out there but I think it drew Barrymore Emilio estevez( she worked with his dad) and the gf Being Demi Moore??
ReplyDeleteRe-read...now I think it is an early teen. Wording is so weird on this one! I think Drew Barrymore definitely fits for the girl.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Drew Barrymore too...
ReplyDeleteRegarding the 2nd pregnancy/miscarriage due to beating, I remember this from a long-ago blind, and one of the popular guesses was John Cusack.
Val Kilmer
ReplyDeleteIt says it happened not that long ago, so I'm not sure about the time frame, but my first thought was Drew Barrymore.
ReplyDeleteDrew Barrymore was heavily involved in drugs and alcohol as a child and pre-teen, and she went to rehab at 13 or 14, I believe.
Around that time she lived with a bunch of really old guys. David Crosby of Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Jack Nicholson are two of them.
She has powerful friends - Steven Spielberg is her "godfather"
But I don't have a guess for the violent actor. Whoever the guy is, his name should be revealed.
"And the other thing is that I know he had a kid with Kimberly Stewart, although they are not a couple. Hmmm, maybe she was the one who got away."
ReplyDeleteENT says the actress is talented. That doesn't describe Kimberly Stewart.
Here we go again, guessing the names of rape/abuse victims who had abortions. I wish we could just focus on the rapist/abuser, but its impossible without trying to place the women on the timeline.
ReplyDeletePart of me wishes we could just go back to arguing about BCoop's sexual preferences and Jake's latest beard. These sexual abuse blinds of the past two weeks are so hard to think about (but if it leads to full exposure of Dan Sandusky Schneider, then carry on).
Hello Himmmm. Hope you and your family are well. :)
I think we are talking someone who is older now for the teen. Someone who was the next big thing at 13 or 14 ("very underage teen"), while the actor was "at the height of his fame which was not that long ago," but still long enough for him to have a "very long absence" and then continue working. I like the BDT guess. Timeframe seems right.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Sweegastronomes, I immediately thought of Drew Barrymore and Jack Nicholson, but I don't know if that was to long ago. He did get with her when she was 13 and he is known to get violent with women. His career slowed down until As Good As it Gets...
ReplyDeleteI was thinking mel Gibson?
ReplyDelete@tracyh - Val Kilmer definately dropped off the map, but wasn't he married for most of his career?
ReplyDeleteDrew Barrymore, Daniel Day Lewis, Winona Ryder
ReplyDeleteMay seem like a weird guess but Joe Pesce disappeared for a long time. The time line might match Drew Barrymore for the young teen. Who for the later actress...I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI am also leaning towards Drew. Poor little thing whoever she was! (gosh, I am having to say that a lot here lately...)
ReplyDeleteWhat I do know is that H'wood SUCKS overall.
Another perp who deserves a straight-up ass-kicking in the public square.
Drew Barrymore lived with Jack Nicholson?!?! Say, wha? That's crazy.
ReplyDeleteShe definitely seems to fit as the pre-teen. These blidns this week are making my brain explode.
First time poster, long time lurker here.
ReplyDeleteHow about Michael Keaton for the actor? He was nominated for Beetlejuice.
I think Drew Barrymore was the barely a teen actress.
Jack doesn't have any resume gaps though while Drew was a teen
ReplyDeleteAlright, according to this site:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.twodorks.com/faxes/fax-celebritygossip.htm
There is some unseemly information about Jack Nicholson.
Nicholson, Jack. Insane. Physically abusive towards women. Reportedly enjoyably zany half the time and incredibly insufferable the other half of the time. Reputed drug user (enormous quantities). Slut; reportedly competed (competes?) with Warren Beatty for most women rogered. Regular at certain Hollywood brothels; likes multiples. Grew up believing his grandmother was his mother and his mother was his sister. Linked with Drew Barrymore (at a very young age), Candice Bergen, Lara Flynn Boyle, Janice Dickinson, Faye Dunaway, Anjelica Huston, Jessica Lange, Madonna, Michelle Phillips, Meryl Streep, and Margaret Trudeau.
Juliette Lewis, Brad Pitt, Gwenyth
ReplyDelete"Back at the height of his fame which was not that long ago, he met up with this very underage teen who had just hit it big..." Drew Barrymore hasn't been a tween in about 25 years.
ReplyDeleteI do like the guess for
ReplyDeleteMichael Keaton
? teen actress
Courtney Cox
I also like the Val Kilmer guess because he really did fall of the map for a while.
Otherwise, Jack Nicholson, Drew Barrymore, Angelica Huston.
Also, when I say "like" I don't really like any of this information. It is so sad.
Michael Keaton was never an AA nom/winner. Brad Pitt is A+++ list, so I think case closed there.
ReplyDeleteAdrian Brody!!! He is an Academy Award winner who just recently was doing razor commercials...also has a new movie coming out.
ReplyDeleteCould the actor be Mickey Rourke?
ReplyDeleteKeaton was involved with Courtney Cox in the mid-90's. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteOMG, where are the good old Not-Tipping-the-Waiter or Quickie-in-the-Bathroom Blind Items?
ReplyDeleteIf it was Drew Barrymore, Tom Hulce might fit. He was everywhere when Amadeus came out. Afterwards, not so much. Same thing for Eric Roberts. Lots of promise, not much since his nomination for Runaway Train. Or William Hurt considering his history of violence with Marlee Matlin.
ReplyDeleteOops, Michael Keaton was not nominated for an Oscar for Beetlejuice. First post = fail. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Adrien Brody for some reason..
ReplyDeleteIt's too early to think, but I found this link
ReplyDeletehttp://blog.thegooddrugsguide.com/0707/6-celebrities-that-beat-drug-and-alcohol-addiction/
Could the "wild child" be either Angelina or Drew Barrymore? Your guesses with Drew Barrymore seem to fit. Poor girl. The RDJ reference is completely by accident, though.
I think Drew Barrymore and Daniel Day Lewis is an excellent guess.
ReplyDeleteI wish these abusers and perverts would get in trouble and not hidden by the entertainment industry, there is no way this guy should be working and I doubly wish the women would have left and told.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletecould be Ed Norton...he dated Drew Barrymore in the mid 90s, then Salma Hayek, and after he and Hayak broke up he took about a year off...but I like the Angelina guess for the wild child too...looking into that...
ReplyDeleteThis sounds all very recent within the past few years, and I think barely a teen means just out of her tweens in this case.
ReplyDeleteI think Chloe Grace Moretz is too young for this one. She's barely a teen now.
I like Adrien Brody for this, mostly because he was in the pics yesterday, and the work he has been doing is really random (Stella Artois ads).
I can see LiLo being the young teen.
For the talented actress, what about Sarah Polley? But would have Enty noted that she foreign? (It looks like Splice was made between her marriages.)
Btw, Adrien Brody's most high-profile roles of late have been in a movie that is going directly to On Demand and in a Woody Allen movie. (Woody is probably very forgiving.)
ReplyDeleteWhat about Nicholas Cage.... Dynasty and all...
ReplyDelete@obitguy - I believe Tom Hulce is gay. I could be wrong about that.
ReplyDeleteMy current guesses:
ReplyDeleteLindsay Lohan Freaky Friday age, powerful friends Lorne Michaels and Tina Fey
Russell Crowe known for his bad temper, nominated in 2000 for Gladiator
Meg Ryan for the actress, friends like Tom Hanks
Tom Hulce is not a current B list actor. Last I read he was auditioning for Foot Locker commercials and not getting them.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Day Lewis has done a lot of his highest profile work and won his AA's after Drew Barrymore was a teen, so if the teen is DB, DDL isn't the doer.
One possibility:
ReplyDeleteTeenager--Alicia Silverstone
Actor--Benecio Del Toro (worked together on the film Excess Baggage, had brief fling)
Second Actress--Chiara Mastroianni (daughter of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni, popular in France but not as well known in the US, family has the pull to stop someone from working)
Del Toro only did 5-6 between 2001 and 2007, unusual for a talented actor in his 30s who just won an Oscar the year prior. His relationship with Mastroianni ended in 2001.
I like the Adrien Brody guess.. although he did make that cinematic masterpiece "Predators" fairly recently. I, too, feel kind of skeevy about reading this. I'll keep my guesses to the abuser who deserves to be outed and leave the two actresses in their anonymity.
ReplyDeleteNot looking at guesses yet, but I am going to say Mickey Rourke, not sure about the women though.
ReplyDeleteActor - Robert Downey Jr.
ReplyDeleteYoung actress - Christina Ricci (went to rehab for anorexia)
Older Actress - Marisa Tomei (dated RDJ in the Mid 90's)
Ricci was in her early/mid teens when RDJ and Tomei dated
I know he was an A lister at the time of abuse but maybe he was not an Oscar winner - could open up the field.
ReplyDeleteRDJ is A++ list currently. And for all his past drug troubles, he was always known as a sweet but troubled type. He wasn't beating anyone or impregnating any teens.
ReplyDeleteThe first female star can't be Drew. The blind says she had just become famous. Drews been famous since she was 4 so she was hardly a teen when she got newly famous.
ReplyDeleteThe first thought for the male for me was Jack Nicolson. Glad to see I wasn't the only one. And the second actress could be Lara Flynn Boyle, but I have no idea how many powerfull connections she has.
But I don't care who the ladies were. It is the male actor that should be revealed. His actions were criminal.

My guess:
ReplyDeleteSean Penn with Demi Lovato and Robin Wright
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThis can't be Drew because the guy was A-list not that long ago, and it also says underage barely teen which I think means just 13.
ReplyDeleteFor years I wondered what happened to Tom Hulce -- he was so massive in Amadeus and then really did seem to drop off the radar overnight. Except I Googled him and he's always been in business, just mostly stage and producing. (And Ms. Cool says he might be gay.)
ReplyDeleteNobidy seems to be paying attention to the "pedigree" clue....that means he comes from a family with a high profile name in the biz. That's why I suggested Nicholas Cage.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading round various blogs and of recently came across the Drew, Jack story (the Roman P connection) and how Jack once beat up an escort who asked for her pay, which all lead me to them..
ReplyDeletebtw, long time lurker (since my three year old was a new born) first time poster..
Pedigree refers to his acting pedigree (i.e. the Oscar nominee/win).
ReplyDelete@Prada - I think pedigree here is meant to mean his acting credentials, not a family background. Nic Cage has literally no gaps in his acting dating back to the mid 80s. Love or hate him, he's probably still A list as he opens movies on his name alone, even if said movies are total turds.
ReplyDeleteOK, I think it is Drew Barrymore.
ReplyDeleteIt says the height of the violent actor's fame wasn't that long ago, but it also says that he had a very long absence, so the time frame is vague enough.
Drew fits all the clues:
- Had the addiction problems and sexual liaisons with older guys as a pre/early teen.
- Went to rehab at 13, and then again at 14 (after a suicide attempt).
- Family did not take care or protect her.
- She had very powerful friends in Hollywood, starting with Steven Spielberg.
It's not just anybody who can stop an A-List Oscar winner/nominee from getting hired.
I don't think it's Lohan. She didn't have such powerful friends (Lorne and Fey are in New York, work in mainly in television and dodn't have that kind of clout).
Also, LL's partying reportedly started at 15, and she didn't become a big story until later, after F. Friday and M. Girls.
I would think in the context if this blind, that this was something shocking, the "barely a teen" would be on the young side, like 13, not 19. 19 year old starlets hooking up with middle-aged men is pretty run if the mill in Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought of Drew, but she didn't hit it big in her teens. She hit it big when she was 4, in E.T. She doesn't fit that part, I don't think. Who hit it big around 12, 13, 14?
Regarding Jack Nicholson: Do I think he's probably banged a teen or two in his day? Yes. Does he fit the blind? No. His largest resume gap is late 90's, when he'd have been 60 years old. He was A list all the way through til recently, and some would probably say he still is.
ReplyDeleteI have no guesses but just to point out an aspect of the blind that I've only seen mentioned once and seems to be getting a lot of people confused about the wording. The Blind says,
ReplyDelete"very underage"
We are NOT talking about anyone who is over 15 for the teen. This is definitely about someone who is between, I'd say, 11-14 at the time.
That being sad I highly doubt it is Lindsay Lohan. She seemed normal during her teen years and about the age in question she was dating Aaron Carter. Also while I don't think Momma or Papa Lohan really care about their daughter I don't think they would have allowed her to move in with someone at such a young age. Also if he did kick her out I would bet my life they would extort the crap out of the actor.
Also Chloe Moretz seems to be going down this path but it can't be her either, she is far too young, just 15 now. So she doens't match with the, "Not that long ago" she would be pretty damn recently.
On to Taylor Momsen. Not her either IMO. The blind states that the teen, "Just hit it big". I don't think she has ever "Hit it big" until recently and she would have been the right age around 2004-2006. She does have a work break there but "hit it big" and a break in work don't equate to me.
Ok enough of me poo pooing on all the guesses.
^^Cage would fit, and his former wife Patricia Arquette would have powerful connections, too. And his son beats his ladies, so like father, like son. . .
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I believe Enty is posting all of these teenage stories (and Himmmmmmm) is confirming because someone is going to talk soon. And it's going to be epic.
ReplyDeleteAs for Jack, there is no break in his timeline as noted in the blind (though he did sleep with an underage Drew). It just doesn't fit even though we all want it to.
Pedigree also needs to be recognized (as mentioned above). Okay, off to search...
Ok one more since she is going to be constantly picked. Demi lovato. NOPE. In the age range we are looking at she was on Barney. Then a 2 year gap followed by somewhat steady work beginning in 2007. She would have been 15 at that point. So unless being on Barney is "Hit it big" it isn't here. Thankfully, cause she has enough issues.
ReplyDeleteWoody Harrelson, Billy Bob Thorton, Gary Sinise, Andy Garcia... Ed Harris.
ReplyDeletewhat about tatum o neal?
ReplyDelete@ uberbaldy - I agree that it is none of the current teen/tween trainrecks.
ReplyDeleteEnt, Did he ever man up and get their forgiveness?
ReplyDeleteI think either Drew or Juliette fit the wild child. I am so sorry for who ever any of the girls were including the adult girlfriend. This is really creeping me out.
This was sort of the point to the site tho wasn't it? To expose criminal behavior and it is criminal and really brutal!
Alicia was 20, when she and Benicio dated
ReplyDelete@*girl I hope you're right about someone spilling soon. At the very least the amount this is getting spread around I'd find it hard to believe that federal agencies aren't going to pick up on this and start some investigating. Granted they would take forever. Even if this isn't getting their notice a few choice words strung together in a comment will get them here quickly. haha
ReplyDeleteI keep coming up with Hilary Duff but I don't know who the guy or second woman is...then again I don't know if Duff would have powerful friends
ReplyDeleteIm guessing the actor involved is Vince Vaughn as he was with Jennifer Aniston for some time. The younger actress I dont know.
ReplyDeleteOk, let's break it down:
ReplyDelete"Talented. She was very talented." The Talented Mr Ripley was released in 1999, which fits the time line. And it stars Gwyneth Paltrow. Powerful friends indeed.
And if he was in his 30s/40s then, it's be safe to assume he's near 40s/50s now.
That's all I got. I think "hit it big" and "partying up a storm" are clues, but Kirsten Dunst and Mena Survari would have been near 18 at the time.
Tom Hulce is gay and huge Broadway producer now. His recent projects have been "Spring Awakening and American idiot." So, not him at all.
ReplyDeleteMichael Keaton is a great guess, he seems to have fallen off the map for no reason. Maybe the underage girl is not someone we are very aware of now?
Drew Barrymore and Ryan O'Neal.
ReplyDeleteHis mother was an actress, his father a screenwriter. Huge name back in the late 70s and early 80s and nomination for Love Story. They worked together when she was younger, and the blind does say "met up with" not "just met".
No idea on who the older actress is, a bit too vague.
I don't think Jack Nicholson is the violent actor in question (although he is also known for violence against women).
ReplyDeleteIt is someone else.
Drew fits all the clues, except the "just hit it big", because she did become famous a few years previously when E.T. came out.
But she is the best fit for all the other clues.
There are other former "troubled" young actresses I could name: Melanie Griffith, Tatum O'Neal (who hit it big at the age of 10), Bijou Phillips... but none of them fit the clues so well.
I hate discussing the women in this, but how about Anna Paquin? She won an Oscar at 11 in 1993. What if someone took advantage of her within a year or two after that ( my skin is really crawling right now), then had the relationship with the second woman, say 95, 96 ish, then disappeared for 5 to 10 years, and is now back in the mix? So, if Paquin was 12-13, the guy was 30 ish, he would now be 50 ish. Is that too far back?
ReplyDeleteI think the Taylor Momsen/Chloe Moretz crowd is too young for this blind. We are looking at an actor who couldn't find decent work for a period of time, say 5 - 10 years, and is working again now. The young girl would have to be about 21 years old now, at a minimum.
I want to know who this guy is, it's making me angry, but revealing him would lead us to the names of his victims and they may not be ready for that.
I know Nick Cage hasn't had any noticeable breaks in movie making, but I certainly perceive that there was a precipitous drop-off from high profile, A-list movies and promotion. He didn't register on most peoples radar for a long time.
ReplyDeleteTatum O'Neal for the child actress?
ReplyDeletedoes the Academy Award nominnee/winner mean they were nominated AND won, or were possibly JUST nominated and not necessarily won?
ReplyDeleteRyan O'Neal is a POS, but he'd have been 40-50 when Drew was barely a teen, blind says 30s/40s.
ReplyDeleteHope this summary of clues is useful rather than annoying.
ReplyDeleteActor:
* A list talent: Academy Award nominee/winner.
* 30’s-40’s at time of incident. So older now.
* B list status now, because of incidents. Currently working after absence.
* Pedigree – either acting resume, acting family, or both.
* “Long” absence, but “height of fame” during first incident was “not that long ago”
* Moved in with Actress A (teen) for a month, kicked her out when she got pregnant. * No repercussions at that time (ie, whenever Actress A went into rehab, he still worked for a while)
* Consensual relationship with Actress B
* Verbally/physically abusive (always, so look for reputation)
* Beat her badly enough to cause miscarriage, she left him.
* Immediate (if ultimately temporary) blacklisting b/c of Actress B and A’s “powerful friends” . Dropped off map for a while.
Actress A:
* Barely teen (12-13ish) at time of incident
* Biggest story of day (the teen, not the incident. She was famous.)
* Wild child. Partied/got wasted daily. No family.
* Went to rehab after incident (at 11-13)
*Powerful friends
Actress B:
* “Very talented”, but B-/C+ status
* Still working
* Powerful friends
Val Kilmer dated Neve Campbell until 2003. He stopped making big name movies after that. As for the teenager, I don't know.
ReplyDelete@*girl, I could see this being Ryan O'neal.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder if you are correct about someone ready to talk.
It would be interesting to see if they would be "protected" by doing so, or "distroyed".
Oh damn @MforMayham beat me to the Dunst guest. I'm thinking it could be her. "Interview with a Vampire" came out in 1994 when she was 12. Right age range and I'd say that was probably what got her career off to a start and it was a pretty big movie at the time. Not sure about anything else in the blind and also I have doubts about her because I'm assuming someone whose family made them get an abortion and go to rehab would have had a bit of a break in their career, which Dunst doesn't really have.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOK - I'm off Val Kilmer now. He was never nominated for an academy award.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the Drew Barrymore bandwagon as well...
ReplyDeleteArgh, definitely not Anna Pacquin. Never mind. I suck at guessing blinds.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've decided Jack Nicholson is a real asshole.
ReplyDeleteI'm off for a while. I look forward to coming back to see how this was solved! Where is himmmm when you need him? Does he only show up on Fridays?
Isn't Dunst's nickname Drunkst?
ReplyDeleteBut Dunst was never known as a "wild child" growing up, and she worked steadily from IWTV on.
ReplyDeleteNot even the slightest hint of hard partying, affairs and rehab trips during her teens.
Since this is from the recent past, my guess is Sean Penn, Demi Lovato (born in 1992), and Scarlett Johansson.
ReplyDelete@spacecowboy78: depending on when it occurred Ryan is 34 years older than Drew, so it would still leave him in his 40s.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'd just like it to be him because he's a well established POS and he dropped off the face of the earth as of 1989 for almost 10 years.
My brain keeps going to Sean Penn. Not sure on the teen -- Dakota Fanning? -- and maybe ScarJo for the second actress.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say def not rdj - he's much too young to fit this time frame, and thanks to tabloid exposure, I'm sure you would discover that most of his life is very well documented.
ReplyDelete@*girl true, but the height of his fame was late 60's -mid 70's. I'd not describe that as "not that long ago." POS, but just not the one for this blind.
ReplyDeleteMiley? I could see her being a party hound as a kid, even though we didn't necessarily hear about it. Didn't she have her own house when she was, like, 15? And she certainly was the biggest thing out there as a young teen.
ReplyDeleteI don't think someone like Taylor Momsen or the Fannings fit because the time line is not right. The person has to have gone a good period of time without doing much acting. Going by the blind, he had the fling with the underage girl who had just hit it big. THEN he went a long period without doing much. Taylor has only been around for a couple years.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Michael Keaton guess because I have always thought to myself that it was so weird he went from top of the world to disappeared.
This is a stretch but going with Michael Keaton, Liv Tyler (was 20 on Inventing the Abbots when she worked with him - a year past teen) and Courtney Cox.
Extra bit of trivia:
ReplyDeleteRemember the little blonde girl that kisses Elliot in E.T.?
She went on to star in Baywatch in the first series. Erika E.
Well, when Drew moved in with David Crosby, she moved in too and she said the three would go to bed together.
I try to block this information from my consciousness whenever I watch the film.
I don't think of Anna Paquin when I think of wild child actors. She just doesn't fit.
ReplyDelete@Opus - I like the summary!
ReplyDeleteI'm now waffling between Adrien Brody (see my above post) and Benicio D.T. just because both of them seem to have dropped off the radar.
Michael Keaton was never an Oscar nom or winner.
ReplyDeleteI think if the teen is Drew, (which is my guess) we're looking for someone currently aged 55-65, to narrow it down a bit.
If it's one of the current tween/teens, the only one big enough to really qualify is Miley. Lohan wasn't wild at that age, and I would never in a million years call Taylor Momsen or even Demi Lovato the "biggest story out there."
Hi first time posting...
ReplyDeleteTeen that was "the biggest story out there" screams Miley Cyrus to me. Hannah Montana was a huge hit.
"No family who cared" people still say that about her family.
Kirsten Dunst for the teen. Benecio for the abuser, Penelope Cruz for the second actress. Kirsten and Penelope both worked with Tom Cruz, and he has the juice to get someone shit-canned to Syberia.
ReplyDeleteMiley for the teen. BDT for the abuser. Penelope for the actress. Lainey's nickname for Miley used to be "beat-me-mouth".
ReplyDeleteRyan Fuckhead Oneal. And if there's a hell - they have a special suite awaiting him. Not just for this, but for the HELL he's caused me and so many others. I'll not name his victims, but his filmography and dating history should show that clearly. I learned to let the hate out of my heart many years ago, but some people deserve to reap what they sow. Ryan Oneal is the fucking antichrist. I know, believe me.
ReplyDeleteJosh Brolin, Joaquin Phoenix, Matt Dillon, Djimon Honjsou, Casey Affleck or Mickey Rourke could be the actor.
ReplyDeleteTeen?
ReplyDeleteA~~hole. Russell Crowe
ACTRESS Meg Ryan
@spacecowboy78: Okay, I relent.
ReplyDeleteBut I do think this blind goes back long enough that guesses like Miley should be forgotten.
I still say Penn but think maybe Miley for the teen fits better. ScarJo for the actress (which fits her "pregnancy" look with him).

ReplyDeleteExcited to learn the blinds have been juicy lately :)
ReplyDeleteAs for this blind, I don't have a guess on the guy, but I think the wild child is definitely Lohan. Partly because Enty is basically describing her outright for us, but mostly because he says the actor was at the height of his fame NOT THAT LONG AGO, which implies to ME within the last 2-8 years. Barrymore et all doesn't fit.
Himmmmmmm....oh shiz!
ReplyDelete@ Giulia, ick! Just, ick.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's any current tweener either. I like Drew/Ryan O'Neal but I feel like it's more 90's.
@Himmmm: I felt like this was him. He is vile.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe that means our teen is wrong?
@UberBaldy Dunst would fit, except for the "Talented" clue. She'd fit really well, I'm just stuck on the Paltrow connection.
ReplyDeleteAlso, friend and neighbors, I'd like to point out that if the blind was timelined for the 70s/80s, Enty would have worded it differently. We're looking five years ago at the very minimum, and fifteen years ago at the max.

ReplyDeleteWhat about Willa Holland for the wild teen? she was in OC in 2007 and her stepfather is Brian de Palma, her family is friends with Spielberg, etc (powerful frinds).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, everyone is guessing the teen is an actress but the blind doesn´t say it clearly, so she could be a singer too.
I say no to the Adrien Brody guess as he has worked steadily since winning for The Pianist and the relationships he's had don't match up.
ReplyDeleteI say Benicio del Toro, Lohan, and seems like a few of his known exes could be the older women
I really do think it has to be Nicholson/Barrymore/Angelica Huston. Angelica's the daughter of John Huston and granddaughter to Walter Huston. That is a long Hollywood line. She and Nicholson broke up in 1989. I believe because she found out his much younger girlfriend was pregnant.
ReplyDeleteIf it's Ryan Fuckhead O'Neal (IMDB leaves his middle name out), I'd believe it, but then this blind goes much further back. I don't think I'd say that RFO has been at the top of his game for many, many years...
ReplyDeleteHi, Himmmm. Was hoping you'd post today!
ReplyDeleteThe height of his fame "which was not that long ago" is the biggest clue, so it has to be within the past decade or decade and a half AND that has to be when the girl was barely a teen AND he was in his 30s/40s (I'm guessing late 30s at tat that time). Talented current actress-I wonder if she announced the pregnancy and then lost it? I really am trying NOT to focus on the victims and guess to who the guy is.
ReplyDeleteAdrien Brody would be too young. He won when he was 29. Benicio is 45 now.
Oh man, if this is Benicio del Toro, I will be devastated...he's my only huge celeb crush.
ReplyDeleteYou lot are good.. From reading the blind again, I think the actor must be 40's/50's now 'not that long ago' - within the past 10/15 years? Benecio seems to fit the bill yet..
ReplyDeleteAs for the girl - Heart is saying Dunst.
Hi Himmmm,
ReplyDeleteinteresting you say it's Ryan O'Neal.
I know Anjelica Houston was so afraid of Ryan O'Neal that she used to hide in a closet (no pun intended) to escape him.
She'd pretend she wasn't home, when they were living together.
I think it says a lot that after that experience, Jack Nicholson (another violent man and popular guess for the blind, but it's not him) seemed like prince charming to her (according to her sister).
John Cusack has been working pretty steadily, he also has The Raven coming out soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd @Himmmm: I'm sorry to hear that the fucker caused you harm.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I have had a hard time watching my favorite show because they keep bringing that asshat on it. I fondly hope that it isn't because he is friend with anyone in the cast and it is only because he really is a good actor. Cause, unfortunately he is.
ReplyDeleteBut wouldn't Ryan O'Neal have hit his high point of fame in Love Story? That's 1970. So "not that long ago" can't be forty years ago! that's a long time ago!
ReplyDeleteRyan O'Neal was in a movie with Drew Barrymore when she was 9/10...
ReplyDeleteThough now that I think about it, Dunst and Paltrow do fit. If she was 11 in Interview, then that would put her at 13 in 1996, which is very close to Paltrow being in Ripley in 1998. When was she dating Pitt? I don't think it's him, just seeing if it fits.
ReplyDeleteWhen you manage to piss off Steven Speilberg, Aaron Spelling, Tippi Hedren, Brian Depalma, Robert Evans, Charlie Bludhorn, Lew Wasserman, and about 90% of the then-powerful William Morris Agency? You're career is fucked.
ReplyDeleteThe "teen" in the blind is NOT a teen today. The perp IS Ryan O'Neal. Somehow, he still gets TV work. Amazing.
This just screams Drew Barrymore to me: A "very underage teen" who was "partying up a storm," frequently "getting wasted out of her mind," and wound up in rehab. I can't think of anyone who even comes close to that description.
ReplyDeleteRyan Fuckhead O'Neal was in Irreconcilable Differences with Drew Barrymore. She was very young then.
ReplyDeleteand FYI - Ryan's "peak" was in the late 70s through the late 80s folks.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think Enty is fudging the timeline a bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Himmmm!
So it COULD be Melanie Griffith after all!
ReplyDeleteLea, spacecowboy, and *girl = you're not wrong.
ReplyDeleteRyan O'Neal fits all the clues, except for the "not that long ago" mention, which may be deliberate.
ReplyDeleteHeight of fame was in the 70s-80s. Dropped off the map between 1990 and 1996. Academy Award nominated. Notoriously violent.
OK, so it's either Drew Barrymore or Melanie Griffith...
ReplyDeleteAnd yes Giulia - you're not wrong too. Esp. the part about Toots Houston.
ReplyDeleteWhat an asshat Ryan O'Neal is. No wonder all of his kids are f'ed up.
ReplyDeleteRyan fucking O'Neal worked with Drew Barrymore in Irreconcilable Differences. Guess he stayed in touch with her and was sleeping with her during her early teens. Son of actress Patricia O'Neal and author/screenwriter Charles O'Neal.
ReplyDeleteThanks Himmmmmmmmmmm.
Maybe Ryan O'Neal was the actor who was the heroin dealer/broker who Himmmm "underwrote" the business for, as he said in previous blind's commentary. Everyone was guessing Spader.
ReplyDelete"not that long ago" is actually quite indeterminate. It can mean "not the 70's" or it can mean "relatively recently". 20 years ago is reasonable.
ReplyDeleteI am going to take himmmm's word for it. I am not going to guess on the people he victimized. The few stories I have heard about him make me sick.
ReplyDeleteGiulia? There's more than one victim and more than one answer.
ReplyDelete@himmmm
ReplyDeleteDid look up the f-h's wiki, and sure enough the timeline fits.
I'm sure someone will figure out the rest.
Himmmmm, so his peak wouldn't have been when Love Story was out? It still seems like 30 years ago, is pretty long ago. Can there be two terrible people like this out there? Although I imagine more than two (and calling him a B bc of his acting talen? I don't know Enty has a particular hatred for Ryan O'Neal and the awfulness of him, I feel like he'd have worded it differently if it was Ryan)
ReplyDeleteWhat ever Himmmmm says. I believe it is Ryan O'Neal, Drew Barrymore and...don't know the last one.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, Tom Hulce is gay and Michael Keaton is actually very nice. I cannot see him as a woman beater.
Oh, Himmmm... I know. That man has left a trail of destruction in his wake.
ReplyDeleteEven his poor children weren't spared.
I can't understand how Farrah Fawcett stayed with him all those years.
So much for people often telling me I look like a young Ryan O'Neal :(
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of a few important biz things at this second, but later on I'm going to share with all of you a story (or two) I promise will make your heads explode in wonderment, and probably make you sick to know this actor is still alive and working. It might confirm your guesses about my identity (ies) but I don't care. Besides, I'm going off the grid for a while to work - so I'm not worried. Maybe a parting shot for a while :-) Back in a couple of hours...
ReplyDeleteO'Neal does have a gap from 89-96 on his Wiki, around the time Barrymore would have been, what, 13-14?
ReplyDeleteI know that not all of these will necessarily be revealed but I personally think it's just as wrong to out a victim of abuse as it is to out someone in the closet. There's been a lot of abuse blinds lately and I'm actually hoping that they don't get revealed. I wish Himmmm had kept his trap shut as well.
ReplyDeleteGiven that Ryan O'Neal pissed off Tippi Hedren and Himmmm indicates there are many victims, maybe both Drew Barrymore and Melanie Griffith are involved.
ReplyDeleteI have always had my suspicions about his relationship with Farrah. Being a celebrity does not make you immune to some of the standard relationship problems a number of people fall into *side-eye Rhianna* Also,her amazing performance in Burning Bed, might be a clue to where she was at on a more personal level.
ReplyDeleteThanks Himmmm, looking forward to your story.
But his Imdb page has him doing at least one project a year http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0641939/ He even did Chances Are with RDJ in '89.
ReplyDeleteSigh. I give up guessing bc it makes me feel even worse for anyone that has to be subjected to this.
As someone who works in child abuse prevention, I am so absolutely grateful that Himmmm is speaking up. Silence breeds this behavior and if these putzheads start realizing that the word is going to get out, good! Keep the truth coming, Himmmm! We need more people willing to stand up and say enough!
ReplyDeleteCreepz I understand how you feel, and I tend to feel the same but at the same time - these women are "part of the biz" and to some extent perhaps kept their traps shut in order to keep getting jobs and maintaining the status quo of Hollywood, not rocking the boat.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Colin Farrell?
ReplyDelete@himmmm I am just put this out there, was one of the girls Tatum??
ReplyDeleteI guess maybe Ryan O'Neal isn't so different than the character he played in Zero Effect, if anyone saw it.
ReplyDeleteMy first time posting, longtime lurking: This is the most addictive blog I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI have a question for Himmmm: Why didn't the second actress press charges when RFO caused her miscarriage?
@MP I had that horrifying thought as well.
