Old, Old Hollywood Gossip from Shelley Winters personal notes
Re: Old, Old Hollywood Gossip
I got these tidbits from a gossip site from a person who claimed to be an insider. I used to go to about 10 years ago. It hasn't been updated in 8 years because Hollywood got to it and sued her. If anything is highlighted in blue, it doesn't mean anything. Those were just the last things she updated before he got shut down 8 years ago.
Bacall, Lauren. Bailed on supporting victims of McCarthy because "they were Communists." Very stingy. Married to Humphrey Bogart; linked with Kirk Douglas, James Garner, Harry Guardino, Burgess Meredith, Frank Sinatra, and Emmanuel Ungaro.
Bankhead, Tallulah. Omnisexual, and enjoyed it. Hilarious raconteur & source of many great stories. Drug user. All About Eve was reportedly about her.

Murrow, and Johnny Weissmuller.
Beatty, Warren. Slut supreme; the only person he hasn't slept with is me (and, okay, Shirley Maclaine). Currently married to Annette Benning (though rumors are that he's not faithful to her, either). Also reportedly humorless, homophobic, and unpleasant--and, BION, not good in bed, according to H-wood prostitutes and Madonna (although Joan Collins says otherwise about this).

Chaplin, Charlie. Had a taste for young women; was the inspiration for Humbert Humbert in Lolita. "Notoriously oversized." Linked with Louise Brooks, Marion Davies, Paulette Goddard, Hedy Lamarr, Pola Negri, and Lupe Velez.
Crawford, Joan. "Slept with every male star at MGM except Lassie." "She was a mean, tipsy, powerful, rotten-egg lady.""'There is not enough money in Hollywood to lure me into making another picture with Joan Crawford. And I like money."
