Mr. X Blind Item #9- Old Hollywood
What A++ actor/singer and Oscar winner/nominee had the image of the all-American family man, but he had a little secret that he kept from the public. He grew weed in his backyard and was pretty good at rolling a joint.
Frank Sinatra!
ReplyDeleteBing Crosby ever nominated?
ReplyDeleteBing Crosby
ReplyDeleteJinx Amanda!
ReplyDeleteBing won Best Actor for Going My Way & nominated for Bells of St. Mary's.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Frank was considered to have an image as an All American Family Man lol
ReplyDeleteHe really did enjoy smoking a pipe!
ReplyDeleteSounds like someone i'd like to be friends with! ;)
ReplyDeleteTrue 4 marriages and a torrid affair with MM ain't gonna get him father of the year. Lol
ReplyDeleteJust loved him so:(
bing too for that matter, until those awful accusations came out from his kids in a book. Hope they are not true:(
Bing Crosby actually wasn't a stellar family man according to his kids.
ReplyDeleteJinx to you too Tricia!
ReplyDeleteJinx sandy!
ReplyDeleteBing started smoking pot with Jazz bands on the road, he loved it & didn't hide it.
ReplyDeleteBing had 4 sons with his first marriage. All have been in & out of rehab & mental institutions. All have tried to commit suicide, 3 did kill themselves. One son wrote a book about him, that makes Mommy Dearest look nice.
ITA Bing for sure was NOT a stellar family man, Sandy. He was quite a horrible person. But his PR machine was stellar that's for sure. He was one of the biggest hypocrites ever.
ReplyDeleteYou have to search far and wide to find someone who isn't pretty good at rolling a joint.
ReplyDeleteThree OMG!
ReplyDeleteMost of what I've heard about old stars hasn't really shocked me, however, Bing being such an abusive asshole, that 3 of his 4 sons killed themselves did shock me.
ReplyDeleteHe was a sadistic f*** and a child abuser of the worst kind. I doubt even Xanax could've mellowed him out, much less pot.
ReplyDeleteActually 2 sons committed suicide..other two died of natural causes..son Phillip said the book was bull, and the 2 who later killed themselves didn't agree with all the allegations either..so who knows.
ReplyDeleteyes - and he won
ReplyDeleteAndy Griffith is my guess. He also sang country music. Fits perfectly.
ReplyDeletegood guess but Andy Griffith was never nominated for an Oscar.
ReplyDeleteI think Bing Crosby w/all his Family Xmas Specials every year w/his 'perfect' 2ND Family !!
Eddie Albert. He had a big healthy farm out in Pacific Palisades back in the day.
