Today's Blind Items - Old Hollywood
This actress was A+ list at the peak of her career. She was incredibly popular with women because of her Rachel at the time haircut and men loved her and had her posters everywhere. Her decline was almost as fast as her rise. During her peak she was in her fair share of scandals.
At one point she was having an affair with two actors at the same time. Both were A+ list and frequently co-starred together. When a gossip columnist threatened to reveal all, they called things off. When the two actors found out she had been sleeping with both of them, they each replaced her in movies they had promised to her. She had a child die shortly after birth, but the baby was not her husband's, but rather this A+ list mogul/producer.
Hairdo's makes me think Veronica Lake but I am not sure
ReplyDeleteLiz Taylor
ReplyDeleteBettie Page?
ReplyDeleteColleen Moore. King Vidor
ReplyDeleteLouise brooks
ReplyDeleteKing for the baby daddy. John Barrymore for one of the A+ actors. Too busy to look up the second.
ReplyDeleteFarrah Fawcett
ReplyDeleteBurt Reynolds and . . .
+1 ,for the haircut part,at least
ReplyDeleteI thought Louise Brooks but her Wiki says she never had children-she called herself "Barren Brooks".
ReplyDeleteBettie Page didn't have any children either.
good guess! But her wiki page says that she never had any children..
ReplyDeletei thought of Clara Bow too with her 'Shopgirl' haircut---
ReplyDeleteClara Bow
ReplyDeleteFarrah Fawcett seems about right.
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously Farrah. Her hairstyle was extremely popular, as was her poster.
ReplyDeleteAudrey Hepburn
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought Farah Fawcett and the feathered cut.
ReplyDeleteAaron Spelling as the mogul
ReplyDeleteBetty Grable? She's the one I think of for the "all the guys had her poster" thing. I don't know about her hair. She did get around quite a bit so juggling boyfriends, a husband and a studio head wouldn't be out of the question. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteBrigitte Bardot. Scandalous! Had a baby with Roger Vadim but gave it to her husband to raise (maybe it died or maybe when she was young she said it died). She was sleeping with everybody. And apparently her hair was iconic: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2791264/brigitte-bardot-100-lovers-including-women-four-husbands-fame-led-despair-tried-end-life-four-times-abandoned-child-reveals-new-book.html
ReplyDeleteMe too..very famous hair plus she was married several times and Marlon Brando was one of her lovers.
ReplyDeleteIf it was Farrah and Spelling- I'll I can say is YUCK!
ReplyDeleteBetty Grable, #1 poster girl for all the G.I.'s in WW II. Has kids.
ReplyDeleteFarrah Fawcett/ Paul Newman/ Robert Redford/ Aaron Spelling ?
ReplyDeleteDom Deluise of course... ; )
ReplyDeleteCouple of guesses"
ReplyDelete1. Ali McGraw
2. Louise Brooks
3. Veronica Lake
4. Mia Farrow
5. Farrah Fawcett Majors
Jane Fonda. Her haircut in Klute was totally Rachel.
ReplyDeleteVeronica Lake, her decline was pretty rapid and her hair is iconic. I don't know who the guys are though.
ReplyDeleteFarrah had both the haircut and the poster. Have no idea who the men are. Poor Farrah - she had such a sad life, it seems. RIP.
ReplyDeleteThe actress is Veronica Lake, the columnist is Hedda Hopper, the mogul is Howard Hughes, and the two actors, I'm not sure -- maybe Marlon Brando and Fredric March?
