I used Google translate for that so no clue how accurate it was. š Itās as accurate as being born in Boston and claiming you are Spanish because reasons.

The terms of the settlement of the second lawsuit lodged against this permanent A++ Oscar winning/Oscar nominated actor/director/producer by his former partner a deceased actress/director were very generous for the plaintiff.
What tipped the scales were telephone recordings as leverage where the A++ actor had been goaded into talking about his military service. He has always talked in a way that made it sound like heād seen more action than he did. Specifically he admitted to 1.) Using his commanding officerās daughter whom he was in a relationship with to pull strings so he wasnāt sent to where there was any actual fighting 2.) Freaking out in an embarrassing way far removed from his screen persona during a potentially life threatening incident that ended up not being so bad. He had to be restrained by others who thought he was behaving hysterically during this.
Actor - Clint Eastwood/ Actress - Sondra Locke , incident - crash at sea.

A retired FBI agent once told me a case he would like to open is an investigation into the death of this Emmy nominated actor several decades ago.
No one thought anything of it at the time as 1.) The actor had heart surgery in the past 2.) The actor always looked middle aged or older even when he was young. He starred in both movies and TV. By far, his most successful role was on a popular sitcom where he played the boss of the title character. This was based on a movie which he was also in.
As a young struggling actor, he had earned money by working as muscle for some very shady people collecting debts etc. They took a liking to him and often invited him for drinks where he was privy to a lot of their conversations. A few years before his death he started talking to the FBI informally about some things he had seen and heard. They were close to getting him on record when he died. An autopsy did show some high levels of potentially dangerous substances which were likely administered without the actorās knowledge.

Omg to the Johnny Carson blind Speaking of Johnny Carson- my friends dad almost accidentally killed him live on air sorry- still waking up lol PDQ: So at the time her dad was working for a big name advertising agency and had been given the Alka Selzer (sp?) account. He's the one who came up with the "pop pop fizz fizz..." line. AS either sponsored or asked Johnny to highlight their stuff, so the dad was brought in to help decide how to advertise this live on TV. They decided that they would make an AS suit and put it on Johnny and lower him into water (the water tank was a column of water he would be dropped into). They lowered Johnny into the water on live TV and the AS started doing it's thing, except since he was in this column it was all CO2 and no oxygen around his face and head and Johnny started freaking out because he could not breathe and started turning blue, luckily someone noticed and pulled him out before he suffocated

Many years ago, this actor was pushed into making a very big sacrifice by the studio as well as by those around him. This was done to save the career of another actor who was embroiled in a potentially career ending scandal. He was very important to the studio. These events are now common knowledge.
The actor who made the sacrifice came from an acting family. He had a long career everything from second banana in classic comedies and musicals to horror films to Disney films. In his later years, he did a lot of TV. Also in his later years he was often cast as an angry sputtering old man.
His sacrifice was not without its perks. For a number of years, those that were grateful would send young starlets to him and he would have sex with them. He slept with several who would later be stars themselves and who are still alive. Two prominent ones - This star of several successful sitcoms who pitches medical products and this actress who played a famous fictional character on TV. That same character is currently enjoying a film reboot.

Itās a little known fact that this well known B actor, best known for a long time role on a show everybody knows about, had a bit part in this film franchise the everybody also knows. He was a guest at an event for fans of said franchise and I was tasked with keeping an eye on the autograph lines for this actor and another guest.
Along with the other guests at the event, the actor was doing photo op sessions with fans. These sessions are one shot deals - you pay for them and had best be there or youāve blown your money. It just so happened that an attendee had a photo op with the two most well known guests, one of whom is now deceased and the other is still around, which conflicted with his photo op with the first guest. Naturally, he went for the photo op with the two. The attendee had a personal item which he had all guests there sign for him which he wanted included in his photos of him with the guests. Part of my job of managing the lines was to be the guy who told guests they couldnāt take photos at the guestās table, but this actor seemed friendly and I figured he might accommodate the attendeeās wish of a shared photo with the guest, so I went ahead and asked, expecting to get shot down citing agreements and such.
Lo and behold, the actor agreed to it and did the photo op with the attendee at his table and talked with him for a few minutes as there were no other guests in line. The actor relayed some stories about his work, answered a few questions, and apologized to the attendee for having a conflicting photo op time despite him having no real control over it.

Absolutely not- Enty knows we had a really rough year and I have complete faith that he'll release some big ones because of this. He knows we need this. I'm mentally willing him to release big ones. We have to start 2021 strong!

I knew it was a late night talk show host, and Johnny Carson was the one stuck in my head. 2021 fail Edit- worst of all I didn't have more than a glass of champagne last night and I can't even blame this memory fail on being hungover. Just a faulty memory.

This Oscar winning/Oscar nominated A++ in his lifetime actor who could play both toughs and in musicals and who was much imitated was extremely discreet which is why rumors were not so widespread about his private life.
His wife was a long term business partner, his manager much of his career. Their children were not biologically theirs.
The truth was the actor was gay and always kept at least one young man around him as an assistant and when he got older a caregiver. His partner of the moment was always well compensated financially.
He was the shadow collaborator in a supposedly tell-all biography written in his lifetime. He did this to head off rumors later in his life about his orientation. In the book, there is described a one night stand with this foreign born Oscar nominated actress who herself told a lot of tall tales about her life. The story is completely fictional.

I wonder if she knew about the eyeballs.

Iām hoping it means he was going through what to reveal today and he had so many.

It was more than a couple of decades ago when this at the time A- list movie actor showed up more than an hour late at a private party for members of a world champion professional sports team at a restaurant owned by a group of then A list actors. Strangely, he was wearing silk pajamas and was accompanied by a similarly, albeit more scantily, dressed young blonde woman who sat on his lap the entire time. Given his less than major league behavior, to say the pros were unimpressed is an understatement.

A number of decades ago, this foreign country had a thriving film industry. Many Hollywood stars who were past their prime or just starting out went there and made films.
This A+ in his prime Oscar nominated/Oscar winning actor was one who made several films in this country including one considered a classic. Some of his other famous film roles include one in a film that was an adaptation of a work by a Nobel Prize winner and a film late in his career with a family member.
Biographers have noted that those closest to him portrayed the actor as a narcissist and a sociopath. He really liked very young girls, an interest that only grew as he aged. When in this country, he would often negotiate with parents in poorer areas for him to spend time with their daughters in return for cash. This included at least one girl who was 11 years old.

These two deceased acting veterans played husband and wife on a very popular family TV show a number of decades ago. The irony is that both were bi-sexual or gay which was pretty well known. The male actor died during the show's run while the female actor had serious health problems.
The actress lived with another woman all throughout her time on the show. The man had a high profile gay relationship early in his life but was married and had children by the time of the TV show. This didn't stop him from sleeping with several male members of the crew and at least one underaged male cast member.
