Blind Item #6
This foreign born B+ list mostly movie actor who is older and an Academy Award winner was probably grateful for a recent celebrity death. She stayed quiet until the end about what the actor did to her when she was younger. I had really been hoping considering his year in 2017 that she might have left a note behind. I guess it was not to be.
I really hope this isn't Rose Marie. She was so sweet and appreciative of her fans.
ReplyDeleteBale or Brody as long as it's not Daniel Day Lewis it's all good.
ReplyDeleteI think France Gall is the deceased celeb. Not sure about the abuser... Ben Kingsley?
ReplyDeleteChristopher Plummer(old) not older. He was known to be leacherous
ReplyDeleteHow big year is the unprecedented (almost) ,recast in All The Money in The World.
DeleteHeather Menzies-Uriah, who played Louisa Von Trapp in the Sound of Music died just last month
DeleteNiiice-I wasn’t sure of who the actress might be? Many sad passings this year
DeleteGood call, @tricia. Another one I had no idea about. I did a search and there's an article about him having faced "lurid claims". And he replaced Spacey, that's a little ironic.
DeleteThis site has been an education, lol.
Thanks PG.... yes that is ironic,isn’t it. Just illustrates There really are so few “good ones” for lack of a better term. And that spans age and most other “qualifiers “. To think I used to revere this biz and so many in it?Though I always had a good nose for BS and managed to keep it at a distance....
DeleteYW. :) Ironic and so very depressing. I used to hold them in high esteem, myself. The arts in general. However, this stuff has really changed my view, starting with the VIP pedo rumours in the UK. I would have thought it was all made up before that and chalked it up to conspiracy theories. I take it you worked in the biz, or close enough..it is good to have a BS detector, it would have helped you along the way!
DeleteTMZ just confirmed that Eliza is the girl in the Someone Help Me blind.
ReplyDeleteHm. Just re-read the blind. That states it was an actor, and not a stuntman, but the stories are similar
DeleteHe did do some acting as well.
DeleteBlind said she was molested many times, Dushku mentions one night.
DeleteHeather Menzies-Urich and Christopher Plummer
ReplyDelete"Sound of Music"

ReplyDeleteDoreen Tracy, an original Mousekateer just died.
ReplyDeleteBut I can't think of who for the abuser.
Mb Roy! Or Jimmie!!!!
DeleteThe Heather/Plummer guess unfortunately makes sense.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I might have mentioned this here before. I worked on a movie where Plummer was the lead and he was completely professional despite a couple of female crew and one actress tried to chat him up hoping to snag him. So I really can't imagine this being him. That being said, all crew were warned not to ask him about Sound of Music because he didn't like talking about it supposedly because he just took the check during filming and got no residuals forever after and was kicking himself, so the story went. So I don't want to believe this, but it is possible

ReplyDeletePlummer REJECTED the advances the girl who played his eldest daughter did
ReplyDeleteShe openly said that cause she fell in love with him but he politely refused saying the age gap was too big
Carrie Fisher and ......
ReplyDeleteSure does sound like this is Christopher Plummer. Sigh, just another slimeball.
ReplyDeleteI’ve nothing to back this up but he always pinged my gaydar
ReplyDeleteI don't want to believe this is CP, but it sure looks that way. Ironic that they replaced Spacey with another lecherous dolt :/

ReplyDeleteThat relief when a person who has been harassing you (even if just by the way they leer at you from across the street) dies and you know they can't ever bother you again...
ReplyDelete"...might have left a note behind" suggests suicide. So, the victim is not Heather Menzies or Carrie Fisher or anyone else guessed so far.
ReplyDeleteThe Plummer guess sounds, as sad as it is, as good as any, but how about Geoffrey Rush? Accused of inappropriate conduct this year during a play in Sydney he made in 2015, but no revelation if it was sexual and it seemed to avoid the press.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone make him work? Glenne Headley, who died this year, was a contemporary, but no sign they worked together (still, the B+ lister and the victim didn't necessarily work together)
I'd say Rush is lower on the list than Plummer, and some commenters have suggested Plummer is too gentlemanly to be this person, so any way to make Rush work?
The biggest argument against it being Plummer is that they must have done some serious vetting before using him to replace Spacey. If something had come out about him too it would have been a disaster for the project. Just in pure business terms a whiff of anything would mark him off the cast list.
ReplyDeleteI heard years ago that Plummer was gay.
ReplyDeleteIsn't CP a A list forever ?
ReplyDeletePlummer has a bad rep, too: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/christopher-plummer-kevin-spacey-memoir_us_5a15951fe4b03dec824975f2
ReplyDeleteTL;DR They tried to say that Plummer was exactly like Spacey but that reads more like he was just a blatant misogynist. Which is one rung higher up on the Moral Jenga stack.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I think a lot of these older hollywood folk have probably had "encounters" with underage people, which is why it's seemingly being ignored.
I am more concerned with this lower tier and thankfully, Dushku is helping the cause.
Did Dolores O’Roiden ever date an actor? She was in every movie soundtrack of the 90s.
