    Elizabeth Taylor was born with Hypertrichosis, which left her with soft black hair all over her body (think monkey) until she was a few months old. Can you imagine her parents reaction when she was born?! Wow!

    I read thru all 10 pages before posting this one to make sure I didn't repost:

    Apparently Jackie Kennedy had had her first affair (it was an actor and I can't remember the name and my mom has the book i read it in). that resulted in the pregnancy of Arabella (1956 - the child who was stillborn). This is apparently why JFK refused to come back off of his cruise. a friend of his on the cruise told him something to the effect of "if you want to be president you better go be with your wife". He did go, although belatedly, and it almost derailed the Kennedy marriage.

    La-Liz may have been born with Hypertrichosis and overcame it as a baby, but she certainly became a HYPOCHONDRIAC and will NEVER outgrow that!

    Some lil' tidbits from my giant stack of celeb bios: Vivien Leigh kept a closet full of silk squares to place her dirty undergarments under. Apparently friends were shocked at the amount of squares she had, especially in the early days of the Olivier relationship. (She also mailed him a pair of worn underwear, and both kept the letters they wrote about the exchange).

    Marlene Dietrich waved her underwear under her son in law's nose to brag about her brief tryst with JFK.


    ... and on a non gotch related note...
    Bing Crosby was charged with a DUI after running a vehicle into a building. He was released from jail every evening to fulfill his Paul Whiteman engagements.

    Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth's flame of passion burned so brightly in their marriage that their staff would sometimes have to buy up to three tins of condoms per day. Rebecca Welles was conceived on an expensive sofa one night when no prophylactic was available and Welles and Hayworth couldn't wait. For months afterwards, Welles would curse the couch, and finally had it burned.

    Ugh.

    *Getting on soapbox*

    Don't get me started on Elizabeth Dailey. She loves to tell everyone they were an exclusive item when he died. First she claimed 10 months, then a year. Not true. He had actually broken up with her weeks before he died, and, it was proven that he dated several other women at the time she claimes they were "soul mates."

    She's about as trustworthy of a source about Jon-Erik as Victoria Principal is about Andy Gibb. And just as opportunistic, as far as her career goes. Easy to claim stuff when a guy is already dead, ya know?

    Sorry. I'll climb off my soapbox now, and go back to my corner.

    (no, that wasn't directed at you, Ruby. Just sour grapes when it comes to my boy! Forgive me!)

She wanted to get her hands on that million dollars that WALTER WANGER had offered her for presence.
    THE MiSFITS was in production from July through November 1960. The first production of CLEOPATRA began filming in September 1960 with TAYLOR, and then PETER FINCH as Caesar and STEPHEN BOYD as Marc Antony.

    Richard Avedon took several photos of Monroe as other legendary actresses including Theda Bara in Fall 1958. When Marilyn heard about the film, she sent the photo below into the studios execs for consideration which she never seriously was.



    Kelt, MM's first day on set of 'Let's Make Love' was January 25th 1960 and due to a month long actor's labor dispute interupting production, along with other issues, didn't wrap filming until June 20th.

    As you state, she then promptly went into filming 'Misfits' without any break which contributed to her difficulty during filming among other factors.

    And part of the reason Monroe allowed still photographers on set during the nude swimming scene for 'Something's Got to Give' aside from giving the film much needed publicity, was to "Knock Liz Taylor's Cleo face off all the current magazines worldwide." so she told photog Lawrence Schiller when he brought his proofs for approval.

    No love lost between MM and LT.

For some reason I always remember that story but I didn't know how many people had heard that before.

    This reminds me of a photo I saw a few years ago on a message board.
    A muscle builder trying to lift extremely heavy dumbbells in a contest
    and was struggling so hard that his intestines blew out from his anus.
    Believe me it was horrible. They wouldn't state his name for obvious
    reasons.

    Thanks for the link.
    The pic wasn't nearly as bad as it sounded (or maybe that's just me).
    The grossest part was reading that the guy behind the weightlifter was sprayed with "fecal matter" when the unfortunate incident took place. Ouch.

    Never heard that one at all. What book was that from? Was it Kitty Kelly? I think Jack was pretty good at derailing or throwing wrenches in the pile all by himself.

    James Dean was practically blind without his glasses. He would make some appearances without them and people thought he was being cool by squinting all the time (you can see it in some of his photographs) but he really is having a hard time seeing. Notice in the pics with him signing autographs --- in all of them he is holding them incredibly close to his face or bent down to them at a table. His sunglasses were perscription, BTW. another facet of the mystery of his death. there was a lot of specualtion if he was actually wearing them at the time of his accident. there are conflicting reports.

    There are not many pics of her. I read her book "Dizzy & Jimmy: A Love Story". Although a engaging and heart wrenching story - I tend to believe much of the infatuation was one sided. She loved him deeply and he left a profound impression on her for life - but Jimmy was so self centered, he couldn't and didn't return the affection. I don't believe they ever were engaged. She was an experience for him. He would never marry her.

    More sad than shocking, maybe, but his sisters have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are receiving treatment; this is what his mother passed away from (combined with ovarian cancer). Cancer sucks
