Today's Blind Items - The OG Redhead - Old Hollywood

A few years back, we applauded the effort of this Housewife to put forth a story about a child with red hair who just happened to be available for adoption and just happened to make a perfect little story come true. It was all crap of course, but we appreciated the effort. Back in the day, there was a similar situation in Hollywood. An actress who starred on television and in the movies and also on stage. An actress who once hosted the Academy Awards. She too was a redhead. She too had a wholly implausible story about a child who suddenly fell into her lap who also was a redhead. The way it actually worked was our actress gave birth and then a couple of years after birth, concocted a story which allowed her to "adopt" her own child. The thing is though, she was so worried about her cover story, that she was constantly changing it and eventually the child became a foster child she raised for a few years and then he went on his own way. The one thing that always tripped her up though was the custody battle between herself and her husband over the child which would never be the case if the child was indeed, just a foster child.
