Blind Item #12 -Old Hollywood
This iconic A+ list movie actress who lived a very hidden life after leaving Hollywood mastered the art of not spending any of her own money. During almost her entire Hollywood run she charged/billed everything to whatever studio she was working for. Everything from mortgages to her utility bills. She would only eat at places that were willing to bill the studio for her meals. If the studio ever tried to deduct them from her salary she would threaten all kinds of nasty spillage of secrets.
Marlene Deitrich

ReplyDeleteVeronica Lake?
ReplyDeleteGreta Garbo and her famous home for boys and girls
ReplyDeletewho were wayward
ReplyDeleteshe moved to NY after her career and worked at some hidden gay bar
ReplyDeleteGarbo
ReplyDeleteLake was a legendary drunk. If she knew secrets they probably would have spilled out after her 17th martini.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny - I just guessed her for the previous blind.
ReplyDeleteThis is tough because both Garbo & Dietrich are Old Hollywood icons.
ReplyDeleteI think Dietrich was a bit more devious than Garbo, though.
Why not both?!
Norma Desmond
ReplyDeleteyeah, martinis are like breasts-two is great, anymore is too many...
ReplyDeleteseems like garbo to me. she was stingy to a level. wouldn t even pay for her family to come over. ever.
ReplyDelete" I never said 'I vant to be alone'.I said 'I vant to be left alone'.There is all the difference".--Greta Garbo
ReplyDeleteAva Gardner
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Taylor... To me this item screams her
ReplyDeleteWhen did Elizabeth Taylor do anything hidden? She lived her whole life in front of cameras. Marlene Dietrich had a long career as a nightclub performer after leaving Hollywood. This can only be Garbo.
ReplyDelete"very hidden life" - Garbo.
ReplyDeleteTalullah Bankhead would seem ballsy enough to pull this off.
