Blind Item #12 - Reader Blind Item
This occurred on the set of a detective show that ran for a number of years a number of decades ago. The actor who played the title character was relatively old to play this type of role. Prior to this show, he had another show that was also successful and long running but a completely different genre. Before that, he was known for a certain skill he demonstrated in movies but was usually a second banana.
The actor did not like what he saw during the shooting of that week’s episode. A child actor’s guardian was behaving very inappropriately with the child and even offered to pimp the child out. Finally, the actor had him thrown off the set and after the day’s shoot was complete called Child Protective Services. He was assisted in this by the very beautiful woman who played a relation on the show. She was well known for winning a prestigious title prior to her acting career.
