Blind Items Revealed #5- Old Hollywood
January 27, 2015
This actress was A list at the peak of her fame. She was a multiple Academy Award winner/nominee. Some of my all-time favorite Hollywood stories are about her. This studio owner who is more famous for what he did outside the studios used to sleep with her regularly. When he would try and pass her off to his friends though she would always refuse so he would put her in bad movies or keep her from not working. There was one particular incident where he wanted her to have sex with another woman and she refused so he told her she couldn’t do a lead role she really wanted and made her do a tiny tiny part in a movie. He thought it would make her furious. It did, but she ended up getting nominated/winning an Academy Award. She would often wear a hat while having sex because she didn’t want men to be turned off by her face which she always hated. The story for which she is most well known involved her sleeping with her husband’s son when he was still in elementary school and then later in life marrying him.
Actress: Gloria Grahame
Studio owner: Howard Hughes
Movie: Best Actress in a Supporting Role "The Bad and the Beautiful"
Grahame's fourth and final marriage was to actor Anthony "Tony" Ray, the son of her second husband Nicholas Ray and his first wife Jean Evans and her former stepson

It ain't so much a question of knowin' what to do
I knowed what's right an' wrong since I've been ten
I've heard a lot of stories and I reckon they're true
About how girls are put upon by men
I know I musn't fall into the pit
But when I'm with a feller
I ferget!
I'm just a girl who cain't say no
I'm in a terrible fix
I always say 'come on, let's go'
Just when I oughta say 'nix'
When a person tries to kiss a girl
I know she oughta give his face a smack!
But as soon as someone kisses me
I somehow sorta want to kiss him back!
I'm just a fool when lights are low
I cain't be prissy an' quaint
I ain't the type that can faint
How can I be what I ain't
I cain't say no
Watcha gonna do when a feller gets flirty
And starts to talk purty
Whatcha gonna do?
Supposin that he says
Your lips are like cherries
Or roses or berries
Whatcha gonna do?
Supposin that he says
That yer sweeter than cream
And he's gotta have cream or die
Whatcha gonna do when he talks that way?
Spit in his eye?
I'm just a girl who cain't say no
Cain't seem to say it at all
I hate to disserpoint a beau
When he is payin' a call!
Fer a while I act refined and cool
A settin on the velveteen setee
Then I think of that ol' golden rule
And do fer him what he would do fer me
I cain't resist a Romeo
In a sombero and chaps
Soon as I sit on their laps
Somethin' inside of me snaps
I cain't say no!
I'm just a girl who cain't say no
Kissin's my favorite food
With or without the mistletoe
I'm in a holiday mood!
Other girls are coy and hard to catch
But other girls ain't havin' any fun
Every time I lose a wrastlin' match
I have a funny feeling that I won
Though I can feel the undertoe
I never make a complaint
'Till it's too late for restraint
Then when I want to I cain't
I cain't say no!
Well, she wasn't the typical Hollywwod Beauty, but she had a face like Bette Davis, both not conventionally attractive, but interesting faces AND strong characters.
ReplyDeleteIn the case of Bette Davis more of MAGNETIC face, with those eyes..." she got Bette Davis eyes"
I LOVE (and lived) that song! Thanks for putting it in my head. ;)
ReplyDeleteI always thought she was someone who really depended on the proper camera angle to look her best. If it was right she looked gorgeous, if it wasn't she didn't.
ReplyDeleteShe slept with her stepson when he was in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL? Like, between the ages of 5 and 12??
ReplyDeleteaccording to wiki it started when he was 13 and her husband busted them in be together...awkward!
ReplyDelete"Grahame's fourth and final marriage was to actor Anthony "Tony" Ray, the son of her second husband Nicholas Ray and his first wife Jean Evans; Anthony Ray was her former stepson. Their relationship reportedly began when Tony Ray was 13 years old and Grahame was still married to his father (which effectively ended the marriage when Nicholas Ray caught the two in bed together).[12] The two reconnected in 1958 and married in Tijuana, Mexico in May 1960. The couple would go on to have two children: Anthony, Jr. (born 1963) and James (born 1965)."
And Nicholas only schtupped the 16 year old Natalie Wood for "business purposes."
ReplyDeleteThis is the part that stands out to me the most...no one else is shocked and disgusted over the fact she was a pedophile??? Kind of makes me not care that she got bit roles if she didn't put out when she was a predator herself of seriously underaged boys.
ReplyDeletemgm produced the bad and the beautiful. howard hughes wasn't the head of mgm. he didn't have any say in mgm at all.
