Illicit Love Children of Hollywood's Golden Age P2

[@robbinruffino1201]

I found out I wasn’t related to my Dad in my 30’s, I wasn’t angry but it explained a lot about my different look and how his siblings treated me. I told him I knew but he is always Dad and Grampa and nothing changed. He said I was supposed to go to adoption until mom’s sister called him to come to the hosp because he needed to see this baby and he reluctantly came..I was healthy, pink,strawberry blond w green eyes while my siblings were sickly, jaundiced w dark features..he sat w me in his arms and said ‘so..what are we naming her?’ He was a great dad!

So, because you were prettier ( in your eyes) than your siblings, that’s why he wanted to claim you. Maybe he felt sorry for you because you weren’t as pretty as your darker siblings. That would be my guess. Red faced , red haired babies are not any prettier than darker babies. I have both in my family and my darker haired siblings were always prettier. Glad you had a good, sympathetic man as your dad.

[@mariahoulihan9483]

I am now 68... never ever pregnant. However, I (preplanned) left home aged 21 to share a flat in London with a girl i had been in school with and who was living there. I just wanted to spread my wings. On my first visit home some 3 weeks later the awful woman next door had the cheek to stare for a little too long at my stomoch.. I knew then she was convinced I had only left home because I was pregnant. lol.. small towns for you.. if they don;t know they make it up. I stared right back at her .. I went home every few weeks so I am sure she soon realised I wasn;t having a baby. she is still alive. the old witch.. I am very tempted to write to her. My mother has long died and my Dad.. so a nice little card stating I knew what you did would give me a lot of satisfaction. She never eve moved out of the town whilst I hae worked abroad for a bit and had a good career when I worked as well as many great experiences. One day, on visiting my mother when I was 42 her nitwit of a husband blurted out over the side fence.. you are an old maid, aren't you.. referencing I have never married.. He was putting me down.. on purpose.. I said.. Old maid am I Brian? Well, let me ask you something. do you know how that term came about. err. no.. well I will tell you (all the time my Mum was listening to this in the house, lol, I later discovered). i said well. A maid is an old term used a very long time ago for an unmarried girl who had not lost her 'Maidenhead' or her virginity. I can assure you Brian, as its obviously worrying you sick, that i have definitely lost mine and am very happy about it. I am far from an old maid. You know nothing whatsoever about me but think its ok to throw out a out of date insult like that which I know you intended as an insult to me. Actually all you have succeeded in doing is make yourself look a complete fool. Good day Brian.. and I walked into Mums house very slowly, smiling broadly. She told me she had head the exchange and was 'very very proud' of my quick fire back at the stupid eejit. lol. Small towners.. GOD SAVE ME FROM THE IGNORANT TWITS. lol. I had saved lives, Had a baby named after me by the mother, who I had arrested, and did caring things for people and achieved commendations and made lots of lovely friends and had long meaningful love affairs. All I didn;t do was marry and sit in my underpants like him calling people names. Yet HE sought to write me off.

A young girl across the street from me was passed off as an adopted child ... until she started resembling both her "sister" Kate and her mother. Unwed teens were sent away to birth their babies and their moms lied to hopefully avert a scandal, but people talk and gossip and soon figure things out anyway.

[@pamelasimone5084]

When Loretta Young confessed the truth to Judy, she described the encounter as date rape. Considering the time and attitudes about women and sex, it sounds plausible. A lot of men at the time believed that women meant yes when they resisted. Also, as we’ve seen with recent legal cases, powerful men believed that entitled them to whatever or whoever they wanted. It doesn’t make what they did right but considering the attitude at the time nothing would have been done and her reputation would have been ruined.

[@katie195]

There are Women who are attracted to wealthy powerful men - it is quite the aphrodisiac. When it doesn’t work out for the women … they cry rape decades later. This is a slap in the face to any woman who was really assaulted…

[@mariahoulihan9483]

yes and thinking of old hollywood films, forced kissing which was often portrayed as against a lady;'=s wishes. .and she sucummed to this or slapped the guy would have been the norm when he was acting.

Loretta contradicts her experiences with Gable throughout her life. From reading both Cheryl's and Lorettas book I believe Cheryl was the better person and admired her for stepping forward to uncover the truth. Loretta wouldn't speak to her when she appeared with Barbara Walters. Loretta didn't realize that by covering up the truth and calling Cheryl " my mortal sin" she was hurting her daughter more. By the time Cheryl wrote her book most of old Hollywood had passed away or had dementia.

[@andriamsimpsonrussell]

When I was born, from a 16 year old mother and 17 year old father, I was the dirty little secret that everyone knew about except me. First experience was sitting in 9th grade homeroom and the teacher taking roll call, when he got to me he called me my mothers name, twice. It didn't register at first because I wasn't really listening to him, its homeroom, but I looked up and everyone was staring at me so I looked at the teacher and he repeated my mothers name and I responded " A@#$ is my mothers name, I'm Andria". I was raised by my maternal grandmom (forever known as MOM) and would see my mother all the time but I had no idea who she was until I was probably four or five and my mother dumped her two young sons off at MOMs house after leaving her husband (not my father THANK GOD!) and decided to move from NYS to California for six months. After she left my MOM sat myself and the two boys (my half brothers, I had no idea they were actually my brothers) down in my room and she told me "A@#$ is your real mother and are your brothers". I was too young to fully understand what all of that meant and my response was "So does that mean I get to play with the boys all the time?". I have had no real relationship with my mother and even less to nonexistent with my bio father, my MOM took me to the bank he worked at when I was probably six and she spoke to him but I had no idea who he was later when I was working at McDonalds he came through my line and we locked eyes but I still didn't know who he was but after I took his order I turned around and said to a co-worker that "I think I just waited on my father", years later I spoke to him once on the phone to "surprise him" on his birthday and I asked him if he came through my line at McD's? It was him. I've seen photos of him but I've still never met him. Those years at McDs an older couple always use to come in for coffee and breakfast and they said that I looked like my grandmother, my PATERNAL grandmother who had passed giving birth to my father and his twin brother which I didn't know at the time. Later they brought their high school yearbook that I also graduated from, and showed me a picture of my grandmother, it was shocking how much I looked like her. Later I gained access to my high school archives at the school and found the yearbooks for when my mother, father and his twin brother were in school, turned out that most of the teachers and the principal were teachers when my bio parents were in school and the school secretary when to school with both of my parents. Everyone knew I was the ba$tard child and gossiped about me. Also turns out that the parents of one of my "friends" also went to school with my bio parents and one day my "friend" walked up to me and said "I know who your father is but I'm not going to tell you." Sometimes being the "dirty little secret" is a bitch!!!

[@mariahoulihan9483]

is all of this language yours or used towards you? I suggest for a happier life YOU at least stop describing yourself thus. they were most likely in love or thought they were when young and conceived you - that makes you a love child not a dirty little secret. i do not know what society you live in but where I come from - England - even back in day earlier in the 20th Century, and I am 68 now, no one treated a child like that for decades and decades. the cruelty of your young 'friend' is diabolical. It all appears to have left a mark on you and for that I am truly sorry. You are no one's 'dirty secret'. you are you own person and can make your own mark in life and be who you want to be. If this was recently i would say to that so say friend that you know who HER real parents are too.. let her feel how upsetting it is.. if its years ago.. try to let go of all of this as hard as it is. the only person its hurting is you.

There is also the fact that Gable had just had a very expensive divorce, re married and didn’t want to have another divorce. Though a few years later he divorced his 2nd wife to marry Carol Lombard so he probably didn’t want to marry Young. He never made any gesture toward his daughter.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

We don't know Gable's side of the story. Young was an extremely devout Catholic, so it was possible that claiming date rape was a way of not taking responsibility for her "sin." I'm not saying she wasn't forced but there's just as much possibility that she wasn't. No other woman has ever come forward with a similar allegation, so why would Gable lose control with Loretta Young? In addition, they worked together again after that--surely a woman would find some way of avoiding having to work with her alleged rapist? It's not like she needed the money and I suspect MGM would've given way and found another vehicle for her if she refused.

If you read Cheryl Lewis' book Loretta told her once she regretted not pressuring Gable to marry her when she found out she was pregnant.

[@christinanielsen1917]

According to her daughter Cheryl Lewis' book Loretta Young told her daughter she regretted not putting pressure on Gable to marry her once she found out she was pregnant. A woman who was raped would never want to see her rapist again. The crew made remarks among themselves when Gable and young disappeared frequently when the bad weather prevented them from shooting the film. This was total lust by both of them and Loretta knew he was married so while they both committed adultery she would be the hypocrite among the two. He didn't claim to be religious.

Sadly, they were all at it in the golden age of the cinema, they all had morals of alleycat. They were all sleeping with each other, and then also sleeping with the same sex , was absolutely disgusting. The image portrayed was that of which the movie moguls wanted to portray, but the reality was actually very disgusting, have watched enough documentaries to last me, a lifetime to see how bad they all were.Even the heads of the studios were booking women who got pregnant, to get abortions. It was a common thing, and they were just told that so-and-so is going away for a rest as an actual fact they were going off to have abortions once twice even three times and it’s really sad.

I find it odd that you said ...when morals and family values were a big deal. This is not true affairs, mistresses and trysts have been going on for ages. The only difference back then in Hollywood was telecommunication. They were famous stars who were visible across the world and suppose to be held to high standards to hold on to their careers. Today with Iphones if a star sneezes they know 2 minutes later. Let alone have a child.

Judy Lewis wrote that when her mother found out what "date rape" was, she, Loretta Young, told Judy that her conception had happened as a result of that happening with Gable. Not so sure that it was that much of an affair but perhaps something else.

[@pamelasimone5084]

Maybe back then it wouldn’t matter if they did resist. When I was in high school, I knew three girls who were assaulted by the father of another friend and two friend who were assaulted by their boyfriends. When one of the friends broke up with her boyfriend, someone set me up with him. He trapped me in the laundry room and tried getting at me. He was like a wild animal. Lucky for me, my friend came to get this guy because the guy who set us up said he had to leave. He didn’t even say goodbye; he just left. He would see me at school and never acknowledge me with a “Hi.” I was really scared and am sure if he hadn’t been interrupted I would have been another one of his victims. I know he dated other girls and he was probably just like that with them and it’s obvious no one ever reported him.

Scuzzy sensationalism -- and it isn't even accurate. There are so many errors in this video. For instance, "Poltergeist 2" was not a film Geraldine Fitzgerald made during the golden age of Hollywood. Ingrid Bergman hadn't just "transitioned into Hollywood and started making waves" when she took up with Roberto Rossellini. It all happened 10 or 15 years after she became an A-list star. This is typical of this poorly-researched regurgitation of who-cares stories.
