Blind Items Revealed #2 - Old Hollywood

June 12, 2016

This A list legend was on radio and television as an A lister for over four decades. His wife was notorious for cutting off anyone from their life if they had not had a hit in awhile. Then, if they did strike it big again, there she was, front and center like she never left.

Jack Benny/Mary Livingstone

    I would've guessed Danny Kaye--his wife arranged his contracts and had final say on female co-stars..she was always on the set

    Reportedly George Burns and Gracie Allen did not think highly of Mary Livingstone.

    I'm not sure this is unusual behavior with big shots. When you're important everyone wants your rub, when you're not, you're nowhere.

    Sounds pretty standard for most professions, in my experience. Maybe entertainment lawyers have higher ethical/moral standards ;-)

    Probably could fill in any names were the wife was either manager or a star themselves.

  7. George and Gracie, Danny Kaye, Jack Benny--please can someone attempt to fill their shoes.
