Saddest Showbiz Love Story

Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. She died in plane crash on her way back to see him from USO show. (Good thread idea, OP!)

Desi and Cesar.

Rita Hayworth with any of her husbands. “They think they’re going to bed with Gilda, but they wake up with me”. Such a sad life.

Natasha and Liam was sad.

Tracy and Hepburn, for reasons that are well known to them.

Viv Leigh and Olivier.

Johnny and June Cash, he died four months after her.

Kim Novak and Sammy Davis, Jr.

Woody Harrelson and Glenn Close. They were such an odd couple; didn't have a chance.

These two crazy love birds.

Carole Landis and Rex Harrison.

Rachel Roberts abd Rex Harrison.

Marlon and Rita

Robert Shaw and Mary Ure.

Judy Garland and any of her gay husbands.

See also Liza and hers.

It fucks you up when you love someone who doesn’t want to fuck you.

Joan and Franchot. He helped her get cultured. Sadly, she couldn't carry a child to term with him even though she got pregnant. She was at the height of her career but just couldn't have it all. So, she adopted Christina the year of that divorce, and the rest, as they say, is history. She took care of Tone when he was down and out, more than a decade after his trials and tribulations with Barbara Payton were over. He was never the same after that beating he took.

Re: David Gest

Liza to Michael: "Why didn't you tell me he was gay?"

Michael to Liza; "I thought you knew!"

Whitney and Robin.

Rosie & Tom Cruise. He never knew she was a lesbian.

Barbra & Jon.

Me and the live of my life, Diana Hyland. Followed years later by the death of the other love of my life...um... Kelly something... Preston! That's it.

Both deaths devastated me, because I oved them so much, in a completely heterosexual way.

Clark Gable and Loretta Young.

Fuck the Catholic Church.

Barbra Streisand and Omar Sharif. She wrote that he wanted her to movie to Europe to be with him. She said "no" and stayed with schlubby Elliott Gould for another year before leaving him.

[quote]Fuck the Catholic Church.

That'll be fifty cents!

Lucy & Desi. They were a beautiful couple and they produced the most successful sitcom ever.

They divorced and Lucy married a Jewish gold digger.

Too bad Gary didn't talk her ... never mind, r24

I know Roman Polanski had his legal issues, but his wife Sharon Tate’s murder by Charles Manson was horrific. Tate was 8 1/2 months pregnant when she was stabbed 16 times and hanged by a rope.

Robert Walker and Jennifer Jones.

Rex Harrison and Rachel Roberts. She was so distraught that she drank poison, it caused her body to jerk, she fell through a glass door and cut herself to ribbons.

R14 a little bit of Robert Redford slipping into this opinion, Babs?

Paul Bern and Jean Harlow

William Holden and Audrey Hepburn. If I recall she was deeply in love with him and vice versa but she had to leave him 1, because if his drinking and 2, he had had a vasectomy and she desperately wanted kids. From what I read they never nearly fully got over each other.

I would also add Lucy and Desi. Sure they had some great years and children and maintained a friendship but when you see how in love with each other they were on ILL and then you see Desi threw it all away because he could never keep it in his pants and it really is truly tragic. These men and their dicks....

Grace Kelly & Oleg Cassini

Liz and Dick. They loved each other too much

R24- What beautiful

He fucked his BRAINS OUT with other women and was an ALCOHOLIC

Ike and Tina Turner. She barely escaped from that one.

Leave it to DL to conflate "love" with "abuse."

Helen Lawson and anything with a dick and a bank account.

Joyce DeWitt and Ray Buktenica: They were going strong and about to announce their engagement when Joyce got the global Undie Leggs ad campaign. The very public disintegration of their relationship in the harsh glare of the tabloid spotlight supposedly inspired the Eagles to write "Life in the Fast Lane."

Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger.

Wittenica is my favorite Hollywood love story!

Connie Francis and Bobby Darren

Kevin Spacey and Diane

Bruce Willis and his wife Emma. She's 45 years old and their daughters are 12 and 9. Can you imagine being that young and your husband (and father) has Alzheimers?

Damien Crosse and Francesco D'Macho

Lea Michele and Cory Montieth.

Fatty Arbuckle and Virginia Rappe

R45- What about Michelle Lee and James Farentino

I was molested.

Jan Hooks and Phil Hartman. He seemed to love her as much as he could love anyone. Jan certainly loved him. Even his wife/killer knew there was something special between them.

[quote]Barbra & Jon.

JON, you must be fucking kidding. You're a Trump loving asshole. Lucky Babs spent for that a year with you - appreciate that.

R28, Rachel Roberts was mentally ill. She would have gone cuckoo-cuckoo over anything anyone that crossed her path.

R51, agree and she and Harrison had been divorced for well over a decade when she died.

r49, her gun...

R43: Bruce Willis’s wife knew he was 24 years older than her though whenever they got together, and they both chose to have kids with him being in his late 50s/early 60s. It’s sad for anyone in that situation but it’s not like he’s 45 or 55, he’s 69.

Paul McCartney and Linda. I actually do think John Travolta and Kelly Preston is sad. He is/was closeted, but she was his best friend. They had the retarded kid together who died, then a late in life son and then Kelly died young from breast cancer.

The word retarded is offensive. There are a lot of other words you can use.

Kirstie Alley and KFC

Jodie, Kelly, and Whitney.

Jodie and Mel.

Jodie and James Woods.

R49 I LOVE them and they will forever be King and Queen of SNL for me but is there any actual truth to that? I know it was known his wife was jealous of her but she was a raging paranoid bitch who was jealous of anyone.

Their kid had autism, r55. You're the retard for thinking that autism automatically makes someone retarded. Read a book, retard.

R28 The freaky thing about Rachel Roberts death is her character in "Picnic At Hanging Rock" dies in a similar way - falling through the roof of a greenhouse.

R60 I’ve read there were unmailed letters to Jan among Brynn’s belongings. It is on record she threatened one of Phil’s ex-wives too.

Also on record, Brynn told Phil and Jan they should get married if anything happened to her.

Christopher and Dana Reeve

Georg von Trapp and Baroness Elsa von Schraeder.

It’s said he hooked up with the help and fled Austria. Apparently, wandering the Alps into Germany. Now they run some grim hotel in America.

Charles Boyer and Pat Paterson. Boyer overdosed on Seconal two days after Paterson, his wife of 44 years, died from cancer.

Cary Grant and Randolph Scott

Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher

Judy and Johnny Mercer. He was heartbroken (and wrote “I Remember You” about her).

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. It was sad....that they expected people to think that was a love story, when it was just a Scientology freak bearding for a pedophile because she wanted publicity

Vivian Vance and Desi Arnaz.

Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall. Her untimely death from cancer was devastating for him.

R61, you make no sense. Please educate yourself.

Do bettter.

Lupe Vélez and Harald Ramond (yes, that's how he spelled first and last).

Days after he broke her heart, she downed a bottle of pills and drowned herself in her toilet.

Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney.

FRAUD!!!!

[quote]The word retarded is offensive. There are a lot of other words you can use.

"Mongoloid"? "Idiot"?

Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks? Phil married the trophy wife, bleached blonde bimbo -- that was his choice. He ended up getting murdered by his wife because her career was going nowhere and she was jealous of Phil.

Phil, his wig, and his wife.

[quote]Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney.

Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett

Madonna and reality…….

Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher

r76, are you fucking autistic or something?

Closeted Cary Grant & Randy Scott two old lovers holding hands under the table. Tragic.

Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal

85 replies and no mention of John John and Carolyn Bessette? You bitches are slipping.

Oprah and GAYle

Dolly and Judy

Hall and Oats

Viola Dana recounting watching her fiance Ormer Locklear going down in flames during a filming accident in Kevin Brownlow's "Hollywood"

R62 - Sara is the one who fell or was pushed through the greenhouse ceiling. Mrs. Appleyard fell from Hanging Rock after trying to climb it.

Meryl and John Cazale.

Jeanette MacDonald forced by the studios to beard for and marry abusive and scandal-prone Gene Raymond when she was madly in love with Nelson Eddy. MacDonald and Eddy remained devoted all throughout her marriage to Raymond until she died.

Bobby Darin Sandra Dee

R85 and how were they "showbiz", hun?

Ethel and Ernie

We all thought their marriage would last forever.

Suzan Ball and Richard Long

Betty and Frank

Natalie and R. J.

William Powell and Jean Harlow

He was inconsolable at her funeral.

Cary Grant and Randolph Scott

R85 they weren’t in showbiz.

Suzan Ball, Lucy's pretty cousin, and Richard Long (the Big Valley). They fell in love while she had cancer, had a leg amputated, they married, and then she died age 22 leaving him heartbroken.

Paul Michael Glaser and Elizabeth Glaser.

She contracts AIDS through a blood transfusion and unknowingly passes it on to two of their children, one of whom dies at age 7. Elizabeth then dies six years later.

I can't imagine having the strength to go on after such tragedy.

Lena and Ava

R101, Please take a gander at R95.

R99, R67

Bill Bixby and Brenda Benet.

They were married for nine years and had a son together. A year after their divorce, their son died tragically. Feeling guilty over her son's death, she fell into a deep depression, and despite the fact that he was no longer her husband, Bixby continued to support Benet emotionally and financially.

Benet ended up in a lesbian relationship with talk show host Tammy Bruce, which Bixby was supportive of. When that relationship ended, Benet became despondent and shot herself in the house she shared with Bruce in front of Bruce. Bixby was one of the first people Bruce contacted after Benet's suicide.

Matt Damon and I broke up in 1998, and I'm still not over it.

R56, total agreement. I unfollow/hide people casually using that word. So I see a lot less posts of that nature. Funny how many MAGA posts have vanished.

They could have had it all.

Ramón Novarro and the dildo.

Mr Hands and the horse

Merv Griffin and Eva Gabor

Omarosa and nice-guy Michael Clark Duncan.

(Whodunnit?)

[quote] Natalie and R. J.

Sad for Natalie, not RJ.

Good one, R89.

Hey guys, what about O.J. and Nicole. He just loved her too much.

R90, no, that's fangirl nonsense

Eddy liked the dick. Gene and Jeannette were a real couple

Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors.

Marilyn Monroe and Joe Dimaggio. He was always in love with her and was grief stricken at her funeral.

Marlon Brando and Wally Cox.

Very minor celebs in comparison to the others on this thread, but this one was the first that came to my mind. Mark Speight was a very popular Children's BBC presenter who was engaged to his former "See It, Saw It" co-star Natasha Collins. They did cocaine together and he found her dead in the bath the next morning. He was arrested on suspicion of murder, which obviously attracted a lot of media coverage. The coroner eventually ruled that her cause of death was misadventure (she had scalded herself in the bath while high on coke - i.e. doing a Whitney even before Whitney did), and Mark was not charged. A few days after the ruling, he was reported missing. A week later, his body was found hanging near Paddington Station; there was a note in his pocket saying he no longer wanted to live without Natasha.

Having grown up watching Mark Speight, his death seems in hindsight almost like a dress rehearsal for Robin Williams's, despite the vast disaparity in their fame. They both had high-energy, manic personas, and so many people have happy childhood memories of watching them, yet their deaths were so bleak and desperate.

R118 yes he was, he was also jealous of the attention she got when they made public appearances together, and he slapped her around. Joe was abusive...because he loved her so much. I've read a couple biographies of them both and Joe was scary. Volatile.

Cut short.

R122, shame on you for making me laugh at that.

Sid and Nancy

Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin

Jean Seberg and her "fourth husband" Ahmed Hasni, who disappeared with all her cash and property after she dies.

Didn't one of Debbie Reynolds' merkins steal all her money?

[quote]The word retarded is offensive.

The Church Lady is among us. You must leave this forum, it's not for you, retard.

r128, back to the Trump rally for you

Christ. Must EVERY DL THREAD devolve into a hissing match?

R128, be kind, she must be autistic.

[quote] Didn't one of Debbie Reynolds' merkins steal all her money?

All of Debbie's husbands stole her money. She really was a dingbat, financially. If she really was a lesbian, that was a high price to pay for a merkin.

Debbie had nothing on Doris Day, whose husband signed her to a tv sitcom without her knowing about it.

Shirley MacLaine has them all beat. Dumb cunt.

Elaine Stritch and John Bay.

A sharp tongued fishwife and an heir to a bread empire.

Betty Grable and Harry James

They seemed so happy, too.

R136, They were married for 22 years, 1943 - 1965.

Richard Gere and his gerbil, Honey Sue.

Tyrone Power and Annabella, they almost reunited but he died

R139, How could they have reunited when he was married when he died in 1958?

“In 1957, he met the former Deborah Jean Smith (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Deborah Ann Montgomery), who went by her former married name, Debbie Minardos. They were married on May 7, 1958, and she became pregnant soon after with Tyrone Power Jr., the son he had always wanted.“

Just before he met/married Debbie Minardos

Boy George and Jon Moss. Jon was the love of George's life, but his lunacy drove Jon back to women. George never got over it.

R135, explain that pair. John Bay was as queer as an Easter basket.

Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. She stood him up at the wedding.

Elizabeth Taylor and Mike Todd.

R143, Elaine dumped Ben Gazzara for Rock Hudson, believing Rock was straight.

R146, her “relationship” with Gazzara was platonic according to him, so it didn’t matter.

R147, We’re to believe that during their 1958-1960 relationship they never fucked?

[quote]We’re to believe that during their 1958-1960 relationship they never fucked?

I can believe it. Stritch admits to turning down the sexual advances of Marlon Brando. She was not a sexual person. I just wonder why Gazzara stayed with her so long.

R149, Kaye Ballard claimed to her dying day that she and Marlon Brando fucked.

Who believes that?

[quote]Kaye Ballard claimed to her dying day that she and Marlon Brando fucked.

I can believe it, not because they were attracted to each other, but because Brando was a sex addict. He was horny and she was available.

By many accounts, Rex Harrison was an awful human being, but another of his wives who met a very sad end was Kay Kendall, and apparently he did take care of her during her illness (leukemia).

Judy Garland and Tom Drake

R152, However, Rex was a cad to wife Lilli Palmer. Kay Kendall was his mistress while married to Lilli. When Kay was diagnosed with cancer and given a short time to live, Rex made a “deal” with Lilli. If Lilli would agree to a divorce so Rex could marry Kay, he would return to her after Kay died.

Kay died and Rex never returned to Lilli.

R153, Tom Drake was gayer than a Joan Crawford film festival.

[quote]I just wonder why Gazzara stayed with her so long.

I suspect they exchanged shaving tips.

[quote]When Kay was diagnosed with cancer and given a short time to live, Rex made a “deal” with Lilli. If Lilli would agree to a divorce so Rex could marry Kay, he would return to her after Kay died. Kay died and Rex never returned to Lilli.

That’s not quite true. Lilli was already having an affair with Carlos Thompson. The minute the divorce was finalized, she married Thompson and remained married to him until she died.

Maybe Rex told that story to save face but she was not interested in getting back with him.

“Palmer is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California. A portion of the ashes of her first husband, Rex Harrison, were scattered on her grave.“

Why?

“Harrison’s body was cremated, some of his ashes being subsequently scattered in Portofino, and the rest being scattered at his second wife Lilli Palmer's grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, in the Commemoration section, Map 1, Lot 4066, Space 2.”

Elaine Stritch was once briefly engaged to Gig Young. She dodged a bullet with that one.

R160, So did Elizabeth Montgomery.

Liz Montgomery was a randy young lass…

R160 Unlike Gig himself.

Liz grew weary of Gig’s boozing. She only married him to spite her father. Robert Montgomery was a strong conservative who disagreed with Elizabeth’s liberal beliefs.

R164, Elizabeth and Robert were estranged for years.

Robert was a good friend of Dwight Eisenhower; that should tell you everything you need to know about him and his mindset.

Robert Montgomery despised his son-in-law Gig Young, whom he felt was "almost as old and not one quarter as successful as I am." Needless to say, he didn't attend his daughter's wedding.

The sad story here is Gig's fifth wife, Kim Schmidt, whom Gig met on the set of "Game of Death." Only three weeks into their marriage, Gig shot her in the back of the head before turning the gun on himself. She was only 31.

Wow, Randy Scott looks very dashing with that mustache in the pic at r83. Also, try to find a man to look at you the way Cary is looking at Scott in that picture. I imagine there is a conversation about "salad tossing" going on between them.

Tab and Tony

Tragic fags

Liberace and Sonja Henie

R168, Cary was imagining how great that stache would feel against his erect shaft.

Billy Crudup and Mary-Louise Parker.

R151, Ballard was a gold star lesbian desperately trying to stay in the closet. Get it?

I think Liz Taylor and Mike Todd would have eventually divorced. (Mike Todd is the guy who died in a plane crash while married to Liz.)

The well known fact that Todd slapped Elizabeth around may have had something to do with that divorce, R175.

Daryl & Toni: there was no love, muskrat or otherwise, to keep them together.

Didn't Crudup dump Parker while she was pregnant?

Richard Burton also slapped Liz around. I think it was Debbie Reynolds who said that she (and Eddie Fisher?) went to Liz's house for dinner. Liz and Dick argued, then disappeared and it was apparent that Dick was slapping her around. Debbie was appalled and aghast. Meanwhile, Liz took it in stride as part of the marriage.

I’ve read a couple of Liz biographies. She apparently enjoyed physically fighting with her partners. She fought passionately.

[quote][R118] yes he was, he was also jealous of the attention she got when they made public appearances together, and he slapped her around. Joe was abusive...because he loved her so much. I've read a couple biographies of them both and Joe was scary. Volatile.

No physical proof he hit her. Just unnamed make-up girls who "saw" bruises or Amy Greene who also lied about Monroe having multiple abortions.

R179, I read that story too but I believe it was Mike Todd.

It happened before Liz broke up Eddie and Debbie which happened before she was with Burton.

R179, I doubt that Debbie went to Liz's house while she was married to Burton - it was after the Eddie Fisher fiasco.

R183, Debbie and Elizabeth resumed their friendship in 1964, when Elizabeth, Richard, Debbie and second husband Harry Karl were on the same ship to Europe and Debbie sent her a note inviting them to dinner.

R174, Well, she didn’t secure that closet door very well. Who wasn’t aware that Kaye Ballard was a carpet munching dyke?

Okay, yeah, Debbie’s story was probably about Liz and Todd. That timeline would make more sense.

R108 stunning and brave

[quote]Well, she didn’t secure that closet door very well.

Um, no, R185. Claim some slutty male celeb slept with you? I doubt Brando was interested if in fact they even met.

Anna May Wong and Dietrich.

Fanny Brice and Nicky Arnstein

R182, Yes, it was indeed Mike Todd, and in Debbie's words Todd "hauled off and SLUGGED" Elizabeth and knocked her out of the chair. Debbie was aghast and threw him out of her house. Elizabeth, though, protested, "Debbie, we were just playing!"

Debbie witnessed them duke it out several more times and afterwards they'd run off and jump in the sack or do it right in the pool. I guess the smacking around was foreplay.

Good training for "Virginia Woolf"...

In the first few minutes of this 1970 “60 Minutes” interview, Elizabeth reveals how much she enjoys fighting with her spouse.

We know why Liz was so fat in her fat period. Nobody was smacking her around and she ate her feelings. No wonder she and Montgomery Clift got along so well. Both liked rough trade.

Liz sounded nuts, frankly. Who wants to be married that many times, fighting physically, getting divorced, etc.

I think she was plain bored during her fat period. She was married to the US senator, living in Washington DC.

R195 I think you're boring and have a stick up your ass. I think what Liz and Dick were trying to say but were trying to keept it classy is that it was good foreplay. They have always been my couple goals.

R178 yes, Billy Crudup dumped her when she was 7 months pregnant with their son so he could take up with that harlot Claire Danes.

[quote]“Palmer is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California. A portion of the ashes of her first husband, Rex Harrison, were scattered on her grave.“

[quote]Why?

Madge and Madonna

Sandra Bullock and Bryan Randall. He was a gorgeous piece of ass and the way that he died was tragic. Poor thing has no luck with men.

Natalie and RJ

[Quote] "double chin"...*sighs dreamily*

Liz Taylor has more chins than a Chinese phonebook.

She hated being called "Liz." She was Elizabeth to her friends.

R70 You beat me to it. As I was scrolling through this thread I was thinking of something sarcastic to post about that pair. How could she have married him knowing full well he was a pedophile?

R207 Wilder claimed - many years after Gilda's death - that she was a handful and he spent most of his time talking her off the ledge. He was deeply in love with the woman he married after Gilda died.

Oh, dear at r212's link.

R212 Brother Alexander has a monster, so I've heard...

R216 They're not related.

Yes, I'm sure we can all agree that the saddest of the sad show business love stories are those that involve the death of one (or both) of the people involved.

Lucy loved Mame. Made the film. Killed her career.

Ghastly.

the original Norman Maine!

Frank Fay was a miserable man. Still can’t fathom why Barbara Stanwyck married him. I think that she was on the rebound after her true love died on a liner bound for Paris.

^Frank had a hawt vage.

Pierce Brosnan marrying skinny little beauty and then her blowing up. Surely tragic, unless he's a feeder.

Bradley Cooper IS Frank Fay!

R223, The truly sad story was the death of his first wife.

“In 1987, while Brosnan filmed a movie in India, Cassandra fell gravely ill. Shortly thereafter, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She died in 1991, at 43 years old. Brosnan was widowed and left with their three children.”

Speaking of which, David Niven and his first wife who opened a door in their house where there was no floor on the other side.

Am I getting that right?

A death crash

R214 I heard that too. Gilda was very needy. I think she was a good friend but a handful as a spouse.

[quote]Yes, I'm sure we can all agree that the saddest of the sad show business love stories are those that involve the death of one (or both) of the people involved. R218

Those who are killed by the closet are particularly tragic. See, R17 above.

r226 I read in a biography of Niven that he married his second wife, and Swedish model named Hjordis, rather impulsively. Then he learned that she was an alcoholic harridan.

R230, Robert Wagner and David Niven were close friends. Wagner wrote in his autobiography that Hjordis Niven was a terrible wife to David, always nagging and belittling him

Wagner despised her.

(^.^) and was Niven's wife's death an accident like Natalie's?

Re R227, I always heard that it was while playing a game of sardines with the Tyrone Powers, Cesar Romero, Gene Tierney and Oleg Cassini, when Primmie Niven plunged down the steep cellar stairs, thinking the door led to a closet.

R233, that story doesn't make sense to me because, unlike what sometimes happens with an elevator, one doesn't tend to start quickly walking into a closet without looking as soon as the door is opened.

Also, why would anyone walk quickly into any closet, at least not one's own? Maybe she thought she was going outside? Maybe she was roaring drunk?

Blindfolded, she opened a door to the basement of the house, fell and died from her injuries.

And to think they wrote a book together.

a cookbook R237?

Burt Reynolds and Dinah Shore.

R238 I think it was called "Cooking Meals To Shove In Your Snack Purse "

Aretha and her baby’s daddy, aka her birth father…… what a slut.

R168 Yes, what a gorgeous looking couple. I'd love to have known them and been able to hang out back in the day. The two of them together are pure perfection in my eyes.

R236 "Happy Valentine's Daaaaay..."

R237 Worse. It was some Christian book for kids.

Did anyone say Paul and John? Whether it was romantic love or not, it was a tragic end.

Yes, John and Paul story was tragic. When they were about to 'starting over', Lennon was murdered.

[quote]r43 Bruce Willis and his wife Emma. She's 45 years old and their daughters are 12 and 9. Can you imagine being that young and your husband (and father) has Alzheimers?

A real shocker when you marry someone decades older than yourself!

Bruce and Aaron Carter…….

Nicole and OJ

Karen & Richard Carpenter :(

Lucy and Desi

Fatty Arbuckle and Virginia Rappe

Bert and Ernie.

Mr. .& Mrs. Charles Boyer

I also found the story of Rachel Roberts and Rex Harrison especially sad.

[quote]Actual suicide was a result of swallowing lye, alkali, or another unidentified caustic substance on top of the barbiturates which were ingested as detailed in her posthumously published journals. The acidic effect of the poisonous agent was an immediate cause of death which propelled her body through a decorative glass screen. She was found by her gardener cut to ribbons in a negligee on her kitchen floor amongst the shards of glass on November 26, 1980.

R255, They had been longed divorced by that time. Rex had remarried twice since their divorce.

I read in one book (“Did She or Didn’t She?”) that feeling ignored at some premiere, Rachel Roberts pulled up her dress, aimed at the photographers, and yelled out, “Why don’t you all take a picture of MY PUSSY?!?”

I mean…. my goodness.

I've been separated, and the pain can be overwhelming.

If she did that today, R257, they wouldn't miss a beat. Flashbulbs going off all over the place.

[quote]Anna May Wong and Dietrich

This never happened.

[quote]when Primmie Niven plunged down the steep cellar stairs, thinking the door led to a closet.

The closet kills.

If I were named Primmie, I'd welcome death.

R262, that was her nickname. Her given name was Primula, as in primrose.

Wasn't this guy Andrew involved in a love story gone bad?

Yes the death of actress Karyn Kupcinet.

In that thumbnail image above, I think Andrew Prine looks very much like Kevin Sorbo, at least in the face.

R265, He was cleared by the police and Karyn’s family never believed he was their daughter’s killer.

maybe R267 but DL has not cleared him. Were there any other suspects?

R268, Karyn’s body was discovered by DL fave Mark Goddard and his wife.

From 1962 to her death on November 28, 1963, Prine dated actress Karyn Kupcinet.

The relationship was problematic; Kupcinet was abusing diet pills along with other prescription drugs.[5]

The problems in Kupcinet's relationship with Prine were mainly due to Prine's objections to making the relationship exclusive. After Kupcinet underwent an illegal abortion in July 1963, the relationship cooled, and Prine began dating other women. In turn, Kupcinet began spying on Prine and his new girlfriend.[6]

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department later determined Kupcinet had delivered threatening and profane messages, consisting of words and letters she had cut out of magazines, to Prine and herself.

On November 30, 1963, Karyn Kupcinet was found dead in her apartment at the age of 22. Coroner Harold Kade concluded that due to a broken hyoid bone in her throat, Kupcinet had been strangled. Her death officially was ruled a homicide.[7]

During the course of its investigation, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department named Andrew Prine as one of its chief suspects. When questioned by law enforcement, Prine said he had talked with Kupcinet twice by phone on Wednesday, the day before her murder, claiming he was trying to resolve a lover's quarrel between them. Detectives considered it possible that, after Prine learned the anonymous threat letters both he and Kupcinet had received had been created by Kupcinet and their unresolved argument, he had a motive for murder. In addition, both Edward Rubin and Robert Hathaway, the two men who had possibly been the last to see her alive, were friends of Prine. They eventually were named as suspects.[8][9][6]

In 1988, Kupcinet's father Irv Kupcinet published a memoir in which he revealed that he and his wife Essee believed that Andrew Prine had nothing to do with their daughter's murder.[10] He was suspicious of a person, still alive when he wrote his memoir, who had no connection to Prine.[10] Irv Kupcinet named David Lange, a neighbor of his daughter, who had twice confessed to friends he was guilty. Later when questioned, Lange suggested he was kidding. However, when a girlfriend who was with Lange in his upper apartment told him about the police activity at his friend Karen's apartment, his reaction was adamant and he told her to close the drapes and keep quiet. She thought his demeanor was strange because Lange often had been in Karyn's apartment.[citation needed]

Disappointed that big Prine cock probably only touched women.

We know it wasn't Pine because Karyn was strangled and Pine in Cruising used a knife.

That was actually Lillian Gish at the premiere of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER.

Obviously Austin Kevitch and Nicholas Galitzine. NG has been driven straight as a f.u. to his rejected love.

R272 Chris Prine wasn't in Cruising.

Martha Raye and Mark Harris.

R277, Chris Pine was born in 1980, the year “Cruising” was released.

Ah confused Andrew Prine with Richard Cox.

Actually Leonard Bernstein and his wife Felicia was a terribly sad love story.

^^^ agreed.

Prince and both his wives maybe but I don't know the details except for the baby with the rare disease who died.

[quote]That was actually Lillian Gish at the premiere of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER.

That was Lillian Gash R275.

Me coming to LA hoping to find a romance.

I am so lonely and sad.

If they ever had a kid r89, it would be the weirdest looking kid in creation.

Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, for saddest celeb unconsummated love. She definitely loved him, but never got the chance to fully express because of his death. A lot of her best output over her career has been influenced and inspired by him. She did a full concept album about what would have happened to them as a couple had he lived (Ballad of Sally Rose).

I believe he was also falling for her at the end, or had a strong idea at least that they were headed for professional/personal coupledom. But he loved the drugs and booze more unfortunately.

Mackenzie and John Phillips were doomed to be torn apart - -

Rita Hayworth and Eduardo Cansino were the OGs in father/daughter incest.

Me too R125

R7 I think surviving her longer would have been more tragic for him. Cash's strongest gift was conveying his own pain in his song. The video for his cover of "Hurt" was a masterpiece of his weariness and pain.

[quote]Did anyone say Paul and John? Whether it was romantic love or not, it was a tragic end.

[quote]John and Paul story was tragic. When they were about to 'starting over', Lennon was murdered.
