Behind his seductive stare, this cowboy struggled to rein in his playboy ways, always falling prey to his forbidden desires. Buckle up: Cooper's story is fraught with danger, heartbreak, and, in the end, unbelievable pain.

Clara Bow not only survived the transition to sound films, she remained a top star until 1931. It was her mental breakdown and scandal that made her quit her career. She had a very pleasant speaking voice with only a subtle hint of Brooklynese. Barbara Stanwyck had a much stronger Brooklyn accent and did not hinder her career.

[@ElysiaTaylor]

I am surprised about the womanizing!!!!

[@DonitaSilk]

I had no idea that Stanwyck had a Brooklyn accent!

In the fifties my dad had prostate cancer which had spread to his bladder. He opted to fight the disease at home with no medical intervention after one hospital stay for a cobalt treatment. Our doctor warned us stringently not to tell him he had terminal cancer because it might result in suicide, i was a child then but later l was troubled by that approach. He suffered greatly, and died two years later. He would have died anyway because cancer treatments were pretty experimental back then.

[@sharonrodriguez9592]

Have you asked yourself what you'll do if you get such a diagnosis ? I will ride it out. I've seen too many of my friends and family go through all the treatments and lose them anyway. Prayers 🙏 for you

​@@sharonrodriguez9592 my sister (5 yrs older) took ALL the jabs. She got breast cancer a year later. She suffered TERRIBLY from the treatments. She got constipated so the doctor wanted to make a star cut in her A-hole.....like that sas going to help? I had colon cancer in 2013. I did Gerson Therapy. Took a couple of years was very difficult to do alone but I did. I saved my gallbladder and colon. I'm just a lowly alternative practitioner that worked for alternative doctors and helped people through alternative treatments. My sister listened to doctors and passed away while suffering unbelievably the whole time. A huge tumor grew into her lung right were the stream of radiation was sent into her Standard Medical Treatment for cancer is brutal. 5-15 yrs of life after treatment is considered a success. But in the past cancer treatments were even worse. My sister was told it was hereditary. It IS NOT! out of a very large extended family. Only a few got cancers. It's a metabolic disease. High stress, alcohol, sugar, burning the candle at both ends and exposure to chemicals like tobacco and heavy metals are contributing factors.

I find it interesting how he had multiple surgeries throughout the years yet was still able to get at it with so many women. I've had several surgeries myself and was sidelined from any sort of physical activity for quite some time. 🤣

He was a beautiful young man but by the time he acted in 'The Fountainhead' he looked worn and bloated. That is usually the unavoidable fate of two-fisted drinkers.

Well, I have a pulmonary doctor that won't tell me how bad of shape I am in. I knew it was bad as I ended up in the hospital 8 days. So when I ask the pulmonary doctor the first time, he just casually changed the subject. Second dr appt visit I ask same question, same thing. I just told him I am the kind of person that wants to know the true, if I am at deaths door, I have business to put in order. I can't afford to die without knowing and leave my family business a mess, that's not fair to my children and the government end up getting what's theres. He said next visit he would have all my results ready and we will go over them. I thanked him.

[@CarolAnn-gh9fl]

Your medical records should be very simple to get, ask the receptionist they will print the information out and hand it to you. The hospital will also give you a copies of anything you want. The next time your Dr doesn’t reply to a direct question, ask him again. Don’t be afraid to insist.

Just because they lived in the same house does not mean we should assume things. A mansion has its expenses. Sharing the cost with a fellow actor cuts those costs in half. Of course, in today's world we need to take a prurient view, and try to make everyone fit the current narrative.

There is alot of speculation as to Hemingway. If he may have been maybe a closet gay. The number of marriages isn't extraordinary for Hollywood..or even in public these days.. But their relationship might have been More than Just friendship..with maybe a secret relationship they did or didnt do anything about with Irish Catholic feelings.. But his wrighting isnt typical of his macho appearance and actions. And killing himself maybe true. Just great friends..but HIS possibly being gay isnt anything new. So it's possible.. Not sayjng fact. But. Would be my guess. Lol
