In her autobiography she writes about attempted molestation by Arthur Freed, Lois Mayer, George Jessel, Samuel Engel and David Selznick. Some of the attacks were when she was still a prepubescent child.<br /><br />I had some minor (no pun intended) involvement in a Hollywood production in the early 90s and became acquainted with several members of the crew during filming. I became particularly close with a production assistant who'd been involved in the acting side of the business when she was a very young child but had ended up working behind the camera in various capacities when she was an adult. The stories she told me about the whole Hollywood culture were absolutely sickening. You think you know how utterly depraved and disgusting it is but hearing stories first hand from someone who actually experienced it is pretty horrifying.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-32332492440369964642017-10-11T05:18:14.544-05:002017-10-11T05:18:14.544-05:00I prefer the alternate - Power attracts the corrup...I prefer the alternate - Power attracts the corruptible.<br />While there are not many like Cincinnatus or George Washington, they do exist; and walked away from power because they were wise enough to recognize the trap hidden inside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-56761166182532980802017-10-10T20:14:37.456-05:002017-10-10T20:14:37.456-05:00What most people aren't aware of is that most ...What most people aren't aware of is that most of the early movie actresses who went on to become the stars of the 30's and 40's were generally barely into their teens when they started making movies. So what you really had going there was nothing more or less than pedophilia by the studio heads (and anyone else who could get away with it). 0007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-69977173565649636682017-10-10T11:04:21.882-05:002017-10-10T11:04:21.882-05:00People can always see the evil in others but never...People can always see the evil in others but never the evils within themselves.Tal Hartsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077424958233740898noreply@blogger.com
