Old Hollywood Blind Item #7 - Mr. X

This five time Academy Award winner/nominee once beat up an actress who was sleeping with her boyfriend. Our Academy Award winner/nominee was in bed with her boyfriend who also happened to be the boyfriend of the other actress. The other actress opened the bedroom door and yelled at the boyfriend to get the Oscar winner/nominee out. Instead, the two started fighting. The lesser known actress filed police charges but was pressured by the studio to drop the charges in exchange for a payment.

    Sexy man.....me too. He was a mans man and very crush worthy. JonnybDepp has always cited him as his favorite actor and inspiration(fun fact), but I don't see that much anymore( in his personal life anyway:(

    I read the blind as two actresses fighting. Money on Elizabeth Taylor.

    It's two women fighting, right? And they are fighting over the lesser known actress' boyfriend?
    "This five time Academy Award winner/nominee once beat up an actress who was sleeping with her (The Academy Award winner/nominee's) boyfriend."
    My brain is still in holiday mode.

    Wiki was helpful, it has a list of actors and actresses with the most nominations, organized by # of nominations. This could be helpful for future blinds.

    Actresses with 5 nominations: Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Taylor, Anne Bancroft, Susan Hayward, Audrey Hepburn, Jennifer Jones, Shirley Maclaine, Norma Shearer, Irene Dunne

    (Modern 5 time nominees: Susan Sarandon, Julianne Moore, Amy Adams)

    1) Okay, 5 times nominated Actress: Elizabeth Taylor

    2) Boyfriend of 5 time nominated Actress: Burt Reynolds

    3) One time nominated Actress: Unknown

    This must have been in the early 1970s.

    Alain Delon, be still my heart! He was the most beautiful man ever in his youth.

    I am going to guess Taylor and Burton before they were married. Burton lived large with women. Literally.
