Old Hollywood Gossip - Good Thing Most Of These People Are Dead
So while rummaging through the Daily News to find their blind item this morning I came across some tidbits they had about the upcoming release Hollywood Babylon - It's Back. Yep, it's coming out so I thought I would share what the NY Daily News had and what else I could find as well. Do I think they are true? Actually I do. When people feel invincible and have no fear of getting caught or any punishment, they will go further and further away from the path of normality. Stars in the golden age of Hollywood got away with much more than would ever be possible now. As Rock Hudson once said, "In Hollywood, you can keep a mistress, or a boyfriend, maybe both. You can go gay, -bi, or pan-sexual. Just don't tell anybody, and don't get caught." Pretty tough to get caught when everyone had an interest in maintaining your image as perceived by fans.
Besides just Hollywood, the authors go global and talk about a former Pope and his many male lovers.
They talk about Joan Crawford and how she made as much money being a porn star as she did being a regular actress.
They have lots of full frontal shots of both males (you have already seen all they have) and females.
They accuse James Dean of being a child molester (12 year old boy), and Errol Flynn as an incestuous child molester along with Cray Grant who diddled his step-son.
Elvis Presley was bisexual, and Lucille Ball started off as a hooker.
People had sex with Judy Garland after she died. I know, I know. But, we also all know that we will probably be first in line to buy the book when it comes out.
