Mr. X Blind Item #7 - Old Hollywood
What A-list actress and sex symbol was pimped out by her father when she was still very much underage? After they would perform at a nightclub, some of them on the US-Mexico border, father would bring daughter backstage where she would orally service much older men. One gave her the gift that keeps on giving and she wound up in the hospital after taking some possibly illegal medication. When she was starting out in Hollywood and had to use the casting couch to get a role, she started drinking to numb the flashbacks
Rita Haywoth
ReplyDeleteJayne Mansfield? Marilyn would be obvious though.
ReplyDeleteRita was Mexican probably her.
ReplyDeleteAww so sad!!
ReplyDeletei think its Hayworth(who i adore-he and Ava Gardner are my faves).I think Jayne M grew up on the east coast(Pennsylania?)
ReplyDelete+1 she was dancing with the family act by the age of 12, I think. She was too young, so they played Mexico.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Rita, not even a blind, very well known.
ReplyDeleteIt's Enty. "Back in the day" = 1990s
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely Rita Hayworth. You must read her biography "If This Was Happiness". Her father sexually abused her. Her father was a vaudeville actor & dancer. His attempt at a film career went nowhere and he took Rita to Tijuana when she was 12, dressed her up to look older & passed her off as his wife. No joke. Her first husband who controlled her career & was abusive. Horrible, sad life she endured.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that Rita's daughter took care of her toward the end. She was so beautiful. Gilda is one of may favorite movies. Glen Ford, also in it, was one of my favorite actors.
ReplyDeleteThi is so Rita Hayworth. Her real last name was Cansino, and it was known that her father sexually abused her and pimped her out. Hell he got her too bleach her skin, so she could pass as white.
ReplyDeleteCompletely Rita, all her husbands were abusive also. Her mom was a Ziegfeld Girl too. Her parents were a vaudeville duo, when Rita got old enough she became her dads parents in the act and for sex.
ReplyDelete+1 fer sure! i think. hehheh.
ReplyDelete@H2O, Rita H.s daughter is Yasmin Agha Kan & yes she cared for her throughout her Alzheimer's Disease as long as she could.Yasmin was also paramount in bringing the Disease to the forefront-she also was one of the 1st people to get alot of Fund Raisers & Charities started- she's raised Millions for the Cause.
ReplyDeleteIt was Rita Hayworth. Truly a tragic soul
ReplyDelete*aga khan...you get the drift
ReplyDeleteRita had electrolysis on her hairline when she was quite young, to raise her forehead. Before, her hair grew very low, like Teresa Giudice.
ReplyDeleteThe studio did that among other things once they discovered her.
