Blind Item #10 - Old Hollywood

"Marty is...rich and famous...his forte is playing juvenile boys. In his early twenties, he looks sixteen, pink-cheeked, beardless. Hollywood High and Fairfax High were his favorite haunts. He hung around the malt shops, contacted impressionable boys there...Many of his sexual aberrations were practiced in the restrooms of gas stations, contiguous to the schools"...

Initially he went unrecognized due to the "thick, corrective glasses he wears off-screen"...but he hit on an undercover cop. He was arrested for lewd vagrancy but studio pressure got the charges dropped. "It was publicly announced that Marty had suffered a nervous collapse, triggered by his wife's decision to divorce him..." After six months in a sanitarium, Marty emerged as "cured".
