This former A list mostly movie actress who was a multiple Academy Award winner/nominee was a sophomore in high school when she started having sex with a director three times her age.
Ray was also sleeping with Sal Mineo, also 16, but six months younger than Natalie. Somewhat surprising that the only lead Ray didn't canoodle with was James Dean.
Liz Taylor but it could really be anyone
ReplyDeleteShirley Mclaine?
ReplyDeleteDavis
ReplyDeleteBette Davis, but it is vague enough where it could also be Hepburn
ReplyDeletenvn someone deceased/could be anyone....
ReplyDeleteNatalie wood, my guess.
Katherine Hepburn
ReplyDeletewouldnt Taylor/Hepburn/Davis have been A+ though?
ReplyDeleteAll of them?
ReplyDeleteJoan Crawford
ReplyDeleteNatalie Wood? Judy Garland? Patty Duke?
ReplyDeleteLiz & Natalie were both child actors trying to transition to leading ladies, so either of them would be good guesses.
ReplyDeleteThe others didn't come to Hollywoodland until adults.
@tricia That was my guess. She was 16 when she began her affair with Nicholas Ray, who was 44.
ReplyDeletehey Andrew:) Yes, Ray was the director...on RWAC . yikes!
ReplyDeleteDid Lana Turner win an Academy Award? Not Bette, she went to Hollywood with her mother and sister in tow, I believe.
ReplyDeleteWe've had previous blinds suggesting that Natalie Wood was shopped around Hollywood, and she had three Oscar nominations.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Natalie Wood,too.
ReplyDeleteNatalie's mother pimped her out. Which got her raped by Kirk Douglas.
ReplyDeleteRay was also sleeping with Sal Mineo, also 16, but six months younger than Natalie. Somewhat surprising that the only lead Ray didn't canoodle with was James Dean.
ReplyDeleteBut wood didn't really have that dry spell between child actor and adult..she was really her biggest in her teens..only wannabes need to be pimped
