Old Hollywood: Her madam was the ex-gf of a mobster
He had her killed so she wouldn’t talk and had a local surgeon who specialized in slicing up cadavers for research labs cut up the starlet’s remains.
He got away with attempted murder
This permanent A+ list legend who is now up to multiple generations of celebrity offspring and even had a permanent A lister portray him in a movie got away with attempted murder of a permanent A+ list mostly movie actor and the murder of an A+ list mostly movie director who had his wife paid off with $1M.
It was too painful a topic to discuss.
When asking about his immediate family in interviews, this permanent A list actor/writer/director/producer/auteur would mention that he had an older brother but didn’t give any details about his whereabouts. It was too painful a topic to discuss. His older brother was institutionalized as a child because he had "learning difficulties" (which is a long ago term for someone on the autism spectrum) and was prone to violent outbursts.
Old Hollywood: Black Dahlia
Old Hollywood: In a new book coming out soon, the author makes the claim that this permanent A list actor/director was the killer of the Black Dahlia.
He privately had the uncut film prints of his most famous works lowered into the well with orders not to open the well.. ever.
OLD HOLLYWOOD: For the first half of his career, this actor/director and jack of all trades was A-list, until his ego and personal demons got the better of him, putting him on the B-list until his classic films got reevaluated and his reputation somewhat restored before his passing. He told the executor of his will that he wanted his ashes scattered in a limestone well on the property of his Spanish manor and seal up the well to prevent vandalism. What he privately told his closest friends is that he wanted to be buried in his Midwest hometown beside his mother. The latter motion was done under a veil of secrecy and there he rests in peace. And the well? The actor privately had the uncut film prints of his most famous works lowered into the well with orders not to open the well.. ever.
