Dolores del Rio and Rudolph Valentino were stars and homosexuality was an open secret. I mean it wasn't loud and proud, but it was accepted without getting into it. Then Rudolph R.

They were both sexualized as teens. They were both drugged. They were both forced to work long hours. They were both body shamed and forced into or out of relationships. They were both intimidated and threatened to do shows/jobs they didn’t want to do. They both suffered consequences when and if they didn’t obey. In some ways it was worse for Judy, in some ways worse for Britney.

[@susanbrady1671]

I mentioned in an above comment that my grandmother worked as an attorney for MGM. She was a new female lawyer in the 1930's, nobody would hire her. MGM took her on. She said LB Mayer was a total pig, he wouldn't even allow her in his office when he had contract questions. She had to stand in the assistants office and he would relay questions and answers through the assistant. The male attorneys were allowed in his office. The upside of that experience is that she got hired on with the CA Attorney General's office, became the chief deputy attorney general, and was the first woman sworn in as CA Attorney General when the real one was out of commission for a bit.

Bailey, please talk about the actual truth of what went down in the California missions! I've always been interested in the stories, and learning about it in college really brought so much perspective.

[@samanthawood2879]

Crazy how much we have learned from dark history! We love Bailey for everything she does for us!! Bailey your always so flawless! Beautiful!

[@namantherockstar]

*BAILEY* is my inspiration!! My mom said that if I got 30k subscribers!! She definitely buy me a professional mic!! *begging you GUYS alot* literally begging.

I am so unpretty 😭 When I go to the bank, they turn the cameras off. At least I am a big star on KZbin. So don't feel too bad for me, dear sam

[@meridythgriffin]

Agreed! Bailey is charismatic and drop dead gorgeous! (I am old enough to be her mom, so no creepiness, just compliments) I always love when these post. Thanks for all of your hard work!

[@davidpatterson555]

A lot of these stories about how the industry treated stars like Rita Hayworth and Judy Garland rings a bell even today… this is still going on in Hollywood! How the “industry” treats some of todays biggest stars.

[@moonlightfalcon7038]

Loretta Young was also a huge victim of Hollywood's horrid abuse via Clark Gable! A lot of people know nothing about that either!

[@teri9461]

Along with their daughter , who found out @ her wedding who her father really was! Clark denied her meet her once as a child.. Loretta had to have her baby in secret & adopt her from an orphanage… crazy story! Bailey should do a part 2 w/Loretta’s story added ❤👵

[@nianava3679]

Bailey + dark history + old hollywood + Judy = a DREAM. Thank you for shedding light on these truths. Bailey NEVER disappoints. You look gorgeous btw!!!

[@cate4999]

i can’t be the only one who thinks rita’s story is so similar to evelyn’s in “the seven husbands of evelyn hugo”! i wonder if her character was based on rita at all?

[@constellaation]

my thoughts exactly!

[@arxcfwhjsk6717]

does anyone else want bailey to do a dark history video on scientology?? i would absolutely love to watch her speak on this cult !!!

[@maureenmartini5094]

Yes!!!!!

[@sarasilly]

You should do a part 2 of this about the racism in Hollywood.

[@InteriorDesignStudent]

And ableism, and weightism, and ethnic stereotypes.

[@kellynn739]

She should definitely do a Hollywood History Month! There is so much content to work with.

[@dawnlawson-weingaertner3936]

FWIW, I’ve watched every MM&M video you’ve made, now I’m catching up on your Dark History series. I haven’t gotten past the opener on this one and I just wanted to say that this makeup look is absolutely GORGEOUS on you! Although I prefer more natural looks, I have loved many of yours. This is the first time one struck me enough to comment and I wanted to pass along the genuine compliment. Keep doing you, Bailey!

[@allysonfountain3262]

Please do more like this!!! I’d love to hear more about Shirley Temple and even Betty Whites history!!

[@oliviawriter3279]

I would love to hear both of those!!!!

[@BlackMagicQueen25]

When she mentioned children I thought she would have mentioned Shirley Temple. This doesn't scratch the surface of how corrupt Hollywood truly is........like there's a lot going on.

[@britnywilson5402]

I watch old Hollywood documentaries everyday here at work. It is sheer INSANITY what these women had to go through. Marilyn Monroe had severe endometriosis and they were awful to her. I just feel awful for the women of the gold age of Hollywood. Lana turner had to pretty awful as well 😢

[@ambermamber6251]

I could watch endless videos on this . It's very sad and makes me angry but we need more awareness of what REALLY went behind the scenes when we glamorize old Hollywood and unless keep in mind some of these things could and probably still are happening now... Look at Kesha for example 💔

[@MrsRocker77a]

More like this would be nice, I absolutely love old Hollywood stories... they are always twisted and wild

[@alexanderboyer7720]

Well... Nothing has changed.

[@Dorothea808]

The Judy Garland story made me cry.. Also I don't think I'll ever be able to watch the Wizard of Oz the same way again. What a corrupt thing to do to a young woman.

[@autumnbreanna95]

My girl Margarita is a Libra and the first thing Bailey says about her is that she just wants to make everyone around her happy ☺️ sounds about right!

Eh. I don’t like the teleprompter. She’s much more genuine on her other channel. Just my opinion. 🤷🏻‍♀️

One of my favorite books as a kid was a fairytale book. All the ones we watched on Disney, but with the original endings and darkness they were made for. 😄

[@ladyrazorsharp]

Judy made tapes that she wanted to turn into an autobiography. They corroborate everything you said here, and how depressed and angry she was about the studios stealing her life when she tried to do her best.

[@94flipit]

I went through a phase in my tweens of being obsessed with old school Hollywood glam. I would devour anything on the classic actors and actresses and movie sets. It really made me open my eyes when I was young. I decided I'd probably never want to meet any of my fave actors/actresses/singers, etc...

[@NikkieTwix]

I love stories on this time period. Ryan Murphy’s Feud is such a great tv show that captured the times perfectly

This definitely needs a part 2! Hollywood is still insane today. The actresses and actors that speak out usually get blackballed

Thank you for making learning fun and giving me a reason to stay around to learn more about this kind of stuff. And thank you for being the amazing person you are and inspiring me to start my own channel. I'm sorry if I'm rambling. But I wanted to say thank you

[@jadeh6948]

Been refreshing the page all day! A little dark history makes an HR seem like minutes.

[@wenchie70]

I love Old Hollywood but there are so many other tragic stories.. Peg Entwistle for example who jumped to her death from the H on the Hollywood sign, Jean Harlow, who died aged only 26 and her husband Paul Bern's controversial death.. Lupe Velez, the Mexican Spitfire...Jayne Mansfield's supposed decapitation. So many srories to tell. I love your Dark History podcasts! Thank you :) x

[@antipatsy]

Supposedly Jayne wasn't decapitated, that was her wig. Mariska Hargitay was also in the car.

[@kathiecassidy-smith2669]

@@antipatsy it was her hair piece and she was scalped, awful😪

[@grandcatsmama3421]

Jayne Mansfield was in a car accident, she was wearing a wig and it came off through the force of the crash. She wasn't decapitated! There was a man who saw her wig come off and mistook it for something else. If she had been decapitated there would have been tons of blood all over the place!!! I guess the man didn't know that though. And her youngest boy was in the car with her, so if she had been decapitated he would have been covered in blood. Which he wasn't.

[@antipatsy]

@@kathiecassidy-smith2669 oh, that's almost worse!

[@SpiceGhouls]

I don’t think Jayne Mansfield was actually decapitated but people thought that at first because her wig got pulled off
