- In the heart of Hollywood, where dreams are supposed to come true, lurked tales not of triumph, but of terror. Hollywood's most ghastly stars weren't just playing roles; they were living nightmares. These were icons whose legacies became ensnared in scandals and mysteries so dark, they threatened to eclipse their brightest achievements.
From eerie unsolved murders to bizarre accidents and haunting disappearances, their stories are the kind that chill the blood. These stars, adored by millions, shared a bond not just in fame but in their fateful descents into the abyss, proving that in Hollywood, the line between the spotlight and the shadows can sometimes be terrifyingly thin.

Hollywood’s Most Ghastly Stars
Walken has remained utterly silent about it. That is very interesting.
He always looked like a no good weasel to me.
Possibly just minding his own business. It's a key to survival.
He is more suss in my mind.
You can never be hurt by something you don't say.
@@Gamble661 THERE is the sin of omission, said God. Not doing or saying what you know you should.
Ive always felt that Blake shot his wife . He never loved her. He felt he was tricked into marriage. He just hapens to forget his gun at the exact same time someone took a shot at her......ya right.
..
If some heard Natalie calling for help why didn’t they check?
Oops, “I heard someone calling for help, but decided to do nothing”. What poor excuses for human beings. Let’s hope “what goes around, comes around”.
They tried. It was dark and voices echo. If youre anchored you can't just drive around looking. They were set to come in and their dingy was deflated and put away.
They also heard a man responding to her, saying hang on, we're coming to get you. Yet, they didn't. They didn't even turn on the light. They were all intoxicated. The people on the other boat didn't know what to think.
No one wants to be involved
'Murica
They were on the water. In the days before cell phones someone in a boat off shore may not have had a way to communicate. Maybe not everyone had a short wave radio on board.
Stories were witnesses later come forward and say they "heard a woman's cries for help" always just amaze me. "Yes, we hears a woman crying for help in the middle of the night." Ok, what did you do about it?" "Um...nothing, we did nothing"..."Great, you're real heroes. Hopefully someday you're the ones asking for help and no one bothers."
Roman Polanski's lifetime achievement award wasn't so much a testament to how clever and powerful he was in the industry as it was a testament to how hypocritical and morally bankrupt Hollywood has always been.
And Harrison Ford took his award to him in Paris…a-hole!
And it all happened at Jack Nicholson's house.
Women are always yelling and screaming whether it's warranted or not. Just like kids.
There are so many suspicious things about her death, the only thing we can do now is live in doubt
Absolutely!
What? The captain of the yacht backhanded Natalie? BS. I have NEVER heard that...ever.
All very interesting. Thank you for your time and effort! ♥
George Reeve death and Mannix sure is Strange I think Natalie and Wagner had a fight
agree I also doubt him
I’ve read Scotty’s book and it is something! Worth reading.
Didn't mention Roman Polanski's inappropriate affair with 15 yr old Nastassja Kinski.
Jack Nicholson too
He had those tunnels underground all the way to the Playboy mansion.
No, but you just did. 😀
Compared to what the average Hollywood degenerate is into now, they don't even think what Polanski did was worth mentioning since they see it happening daily in front of them, and do nothing about it.
I thought she was only 13,
Woods sister lana was not on speaking terms with her sister and the break between them was caused because her sister was jealous to put it bluntly
Plenty O'Toole?
@safiremorningstar Like many sisters; she still loved her sister.
@@Dory8If you believe that, check out Olivia di Havilland and Joan Fontaine.
Olivia used her aunt's name because she hated her sister.
There's so much information out there now, I really don't know who to trust anymore
This whole thing about Natalie Word is nothing but a witchhunt, by her sister. Who is never ever popular! Lol she’s out to do is make the money order some of that she thinks is real! Natalie’s children don’t think Wagner is responsible at all in her death.
Just reading about Mannix and Strickland in a book called The Fixers. They literally covered up murders and a lot more
I think Mannix had George Reeves unalived
@@kimlockard2667 unalived? do you mean killed? I am just up to that part now and the author thinks not. He thinks itwwas the fiance.
This failed to mention the theory that Natalie Wood slipped; smashed her face; fell in the water; and drowned... I saw the Scotty Bowers movie and he strikes me as the most HONEST man on the planet. I am not Gay nor LGBT. I have heard that Scotty is considered a hero of both cultures, though. The world celebrates him and he does not belong on the list above.
no in the water you have bouyancy, especially for a girl weighing about 105 pounds. she never smashed anything.. she would trip, slip and scrape. shed have an abrasion. which is what she had, but she also had a severe wound on her face. from a BLOW.
P boy you got that one right right on the nose man@@marilynwillett804
Neither does Harlow?? How is she a 'GHASTLY STAR'...she was one of the most beloved of all stars of that era. Nicknamed The Baby? The heading of this is BS.
@@suzyfarnham3165 the world ghastly should NEVER be used for Jean Harlow
@@marilynwillett804
Fallin & hitting your face full force on anything hard IS a BLOW. I don't know what happened in the incident, I'm just correcting your statement.
The most bizarre and nasty was Charles Laughton you'll have to read that for yourself
Polanski's Lifetime Achievement Award was for his applied genius, not his cleverness. And no mention that some of that "darkness" might be attributed to his having lost his wife, pictured all through the video, in the most horrific, gruesome and tragic means imaginable.
I don't think Jean Harlow was ghastly. What was DONE to her was ghastly. She was used and abused all of her life and had daddy issues, but hardly ghastly.
Lupe Velez did indeed make herself up in her best outfit, had a final meal of her favorite foods and then lay down on a bed flowers after taking a bottle of barbituates. Unfortunately the supper and the drugs made her violently ill and she was found dead, head in the toilet and covered in vomit.
It didn't turn out the way she had planned.😅 5:44
It wasn't just societal norms it was also their contracts their contracts would not allow for their proclivities to be known to the public, which would have been the case if they had gone to certain or picked up certain young men let's put it that way or young women if they were so inclined.
I don't know about Blake's home life but Blake was a child star well maybe not exactly a star but he was acting from a very young age as a kid which is not mentioned in this diverse nonsense
So?
He still shot his wife.
How did his child "stardom" relate to the crime?
That's something for a biography; this is about the crimes.
It's interesting this video didn't mention that Robert Blake was a child actor, and was in a number of "Our Gang" shorts. It also doesn't mention the fact that Blake's "wife" lived in a small bungalow behind Blake's main house, and not in the house with him. It was claimed that she had been a Hollywood "hanger-on", and had claimed Blake was the father of her daughter, and he married her to give the little girl his name, and assure the mother and child wouldn't become "homeless". People who knew Mrs. Blake said she was a very unpleasant individual.
@oldgysgt Being "an unpleasant individual" (or so Blake's friends allege) doesn't make homicide okay. Really, badmouthing a murder victim. That's immoral.
@@Dory8Who said it was okay? The dead sometimes had many enemies. It's a shame you think acknowledging that is immoral.
@@Dory8; What in the h*ll are you talking about? I never said Blake killed his wife. In fact, he was found "not guilty" of that crime. So where do you get off saying I am "badmouthing" a murder victim? The fact that Mrs. Blake WAS un-liked by most people who met her, only goes to indicate that there are a lot of people who might have wanted to kill her. And don't give me that crap that it's "immoral" to point out that fact!
@@oldgysgt I didn't say you said Blake killed his wife; sorry if you came away with that impression. I was questioning the way you repeated these rumours without making it clear what your stance was on the matter. Again you say things like "[t]he fact that..."
That's not a fact and you haven't proffered any proof. I have heard rumours that she wasn't liked only to discover that the people who didn't like her are the friends and colleagues of Robert Blake. Her relatives and friends of course take the opposite view. I read their objections. Prosecutors have issued staements dismissing those slurs.
What she was is powerless and 'lower' class, as Americans say, which it seems always makes you suspect in Amerika.
As for her being "un-liked", as you put it, which you offer as evidence that others might have wanted to do to her what Blake did, I disagree (and the police would have investigated them and ruled them out anyway). There are many people I don't like, but the last thing I want to do is do away with them (unless they're Hitler).
And, yes, it is immoral to blame the victim and keep harping on her character as a reason for why she was bumped off.
@@oldgysgt
I read about them in a couple books
Watched a few documentaries.
And she was a nasty piece of work.
She tried to latch onto fame and money through men.
I honestly don't believe he killed her.
He was not the nicest man but i never felt he would do that.
Its a shame that his daughter distanced herself from him. Her life had to be difficult.
Thelma Todd's car was a Packard, a car Lincoln couldn't compare to I'm the 30's.
The car was a Lincoln KB roadster. Check the pictures of the crime scene.
@@edwardsalley1248 Yes, you are right, and I was misinformed for sure. Sorry
@@edwardsalley1248 Oh, how we 'WISH to high heaven' officials could be so precise on what happened to Todd IN that Lincoln!
Todd's "roomate/boyfriend" killed her. He was also another lady's hubby, BTW.
He may also have done it at the behest of Mannix, of course.
For those interested (Nicholas) Schenck is pronounced Skenk. Joseph Schenck. Nicholas's brother, was instrumental in the formation of 20th Century-Fox.
i have to assume that writers today don't understand the use of adverbs.
Robo-voiced again. ( "C arey" Cooper??)
First time watching
You've missed out Kirk Douglas. Rest in peace Jean Spangler. 🙏
When Polamski allegedly raped a thirteen year old girl was it considered that, due to force, or due to her being under the age of consent. In either case, it's sad. I hope she managed to have a good life, regardless.
She was actually really calm about it. She didn't seem to act like it was that big of a deal
I think he gave her a qualude and alcohol. She wasn't that upset which was a different response then most are used to. She seems very strong and undisturbed by this event.
@@lorimiller4301 She was indeed disturbed; she just didn't want to punish him, as her mother rightly did. She's a Christian and has forgiven him (he has made private reparations).
"heidbee501," "When Polanski allegedly raped a thirteen year old girl . . . "
We're DECADES beyond, past 'allegedly'.
"When Polanski sodomized a thirteen-year old girl . . . "
Whoever wrote this narrative must do cheap pulp fiction it's so badly done
I've seen interviews of Natalie Wood where she had declared how terrified she was of the water; especially the ocean. That whole case is dubious at best. I doubt Wagner will ever confess to any responsibility if he indeed was, whether directly or indirectly. If I were to play conspiracy theorist, I may opine the theory of a possible relationship between Walken and Wagner that Wood stumbled upon. Just a theory, of course.
I read that Wagner thought Natalie might be having affair with Walken and Wagner jealous. He was accusing them at dinner. Walken left but heard the Wagner's arguing loud.
@Katclem - I had read that Natalie and Robert had a HORRIBLE ARGUMENT, and the Captain heard a body being thrown against the Wall!!!! If you ever noticed, Wagner nor Walken are EVER INTERVIEWED ABOUT Natalie's passing!!! At least I'm NOT aware of any. Also, I heard that Robert put Natalie's body on a small Dingy and sent it out to Sea. That was a rumor anyway. Well, God knows the truth, and will handle these people better than any Jury, that's for sure!!!!
I don't understand, I'm deathly scared of the ocean and water. So I never and I mean never go anywhere near water.
@@kjgearhart9203 you don't need to understand. she's not you. she often went on her boat.
Wagner was not gay. who knows about Walken,, but that boat was not large of course he heard them arguing and then complete silence, and she's gone? and when Wagner went to bed she wasn't there, ..and her injuries were not consistent with a woman of her weight just hitting the side of a boat.
I have read that the Fixers had to follow Spencer Tracey around - he would drink heavily and go into a bar and try to clean the place out with his fists.
I met Scotty Bowers in the 1960s. He was bartending at a party that I was attending. Not being a big party person I sort of hung around the bar and I talked to him for a while I certainly didn't know anything that I was with was to not being a big party person I sort of hung around the bar and I talked to him for a while I certainly didn't know anything that was to come to light later although I didn't know that he was considered a go-between for people in the business. We talked for about 20 minutes and that is my entire relationship with Scotty Bowers but he seemed like a very nice young man it wasn't even that young but I was and I ain't no mo
I just watched Walter Pigeon on What's My Line.
Wow! Blast from the past! 👌
I read years a go that Lupe Velez died after a lavish dinner she had planned as her farewell to life. The spicy food she'd eaten didn't sit well with the many pills she'd taken and she ran to the bathroom to throw up - hit her head on the porcelain toilet and drowned in her own vomit.RIP>
She orchestrated and catered her farewell and tried to stage a dramatic scene of her being found dead in her bed. She was pregnant by a man who was not going to marry her, studio's were tired of her diva behavior and her ex-husband Johnny Weismuller was treated so badly by her that she had burned all her bridges. She took an overdose, her system rejected it and yes she did a header in the toilet.
Rather befitting for someone who treated so many others like s__t.
I read that a long time ago in the book, "Hollywood Babylon"
Thelma Todd was hardly an up-and-coming Young Star she's been in movies for years mostly be films and comedies but she was wonderful and what she did and ended in such a dreadful way. I've driven past the place where her Cafe was and is certainly not there anymore so a grocery store now
"RoderickFernandez-ps5ci," "her Cafe is not there anymore, so a grocery store now."
Of the 126 Comments as of early May 2024 this one is the easiest to DISPROVE. And have a laugh at -- in utter, total disbelief. [ed. - What's this Roderick Fernandez fellow smoking?] OF COURSE the cafe isn't there anymore; the female movie star proprietor of Thelma Todd's Sidewalk Cafe has been DEAD 88 1/2 years (Dec. 16, 1935). The multi-million dollar, thoroughly upgraded interior, completed 2017 - 2019, of the 15,432 square feet, historically / culturally protected office building built in 1928 in Pacific Palisades at 17575 Pacific Coast Highway is valued at $7,069,700 (2024 figures courtesy of Property Shark).
"Grocery store" you say, based on driving past? How did you get a driver's license -- because you must be blind. There's no grocery store there; NOT even close. Ask yourself: WHERE are the dozen or so employees and dozens and dozens of shoppers supposed to park? AT MOST there's room for ten cars in the modest parking lot adjacent to ultra-busy PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) -- and that's being optimistic. Delivery trucks? Forget it. Little to non-existent street parking at that stretch of the highway.
Now, with rents in Malibu and Pacific Palisades traditionally being sky high, the store would be charging $25 for a loaf of bread or half gallon of milk [ed. - exaggerated for effect; to make a point]. Grocery store - NOT. It's a three-story Spanish Colonial Revival-style architecture office building with fascinating and tragic, old Hollywood history.
TMI R.I.P. Thelma Todd 1906 - 1935.
For the second half of the 20th century and until 2015, the former Todd building was owned by the Catholic Church [to whom it had been deeded to by Lola Lane, widow of Todd's business partner and paramour, director Roland West who died in 1952.] and home to the Church's video production company, Paulist Productions, that produced the acclaimed "Insight" anthology series of thought-provoking, inspiring half hours that attracted Hollywood 'names' in front of and behind the camera.
How about roscoe "fatty" arbuckle or woody allen?
Both innocent of any crime.
4:50- are we supposed to recognize this guy?
How you can lie about all those who are dead…too bad the graves can’t sue you.
Whose lying?
You’re assuming they’re lies. Hollywood is a weird place, and the majority of that community are not exactly decent people. Some, yes, but they’re the exceptions, not the rule.
That's the risk of dying. You have to leave your dirty laundry behind, as fodder for the curious.
What lies?
Read a book!
But graves can vote 🙄
This whole thing about Natalie Wood is a witchhunt! Natalie’s children do not think that there’s father killed her at all!
I have never believed anyone acquitted in a criminal case should be assured in a civil case. This is essentially double jeopardy, but it's being circumvented by pursuing it in the civil arena.
They're not trying the same crime.
There are other charges brought in civil cases.
The burden of proof is different for a civil case
Walter Pidgeon?😭
It recently came out that the captain of the ship himself was the one who after he was drunk she made a comment he didn't like her comment and he kind of backhanded her or something I don't remember the exact details and she went over the rails.
Ridiculous. That's never been mentioned before. This has been investigated and even Dr Oz had an episode.
Sorry but you've been misinformed.
Natalie spent the previous night with the captain ashore in the hotel. They were very close. He never slapped her.
not quite sure the word ghastly is the right choice - controversial would be better. Very interesting stories though. And yes, Natalie Wood's death has always been very suspicious.
Wagner killed Natalie
@@virginiaschaefer9693 I think so too.
That particular dinghy that she was using has a history of hitting waves and flipping over. To a experienced person would know where to sit The location has a tendency of having the boat come back and hit you in the head as the boat is flipping backwards..
Natalie didn't go anywhere near the dingy, that's a lie.
I’m disappointed that Robert Wagner got to live to be old but not in prison.
So you KNOW he's guilty? Then write a book about it and, and make money!
@@user-qb1sm3rk9r there is a book about it, Wagner is guilty.
read were natalie caught robert an christopher in an uncompromising position why robert went ballistic thought christopher walken looked bi
Wagner and Walken were caught by Natalie which led to the fight I've heard
Natalee was very highly intoxicated
I loved Robert Blake in Baretta. On the Lil Rascals....In Cold Blood. Sadly....he killed her. I have no doubt.
Loved Baretta.
But disagree.
All this information is coming from Scotty Bowers book which is baseless we don't know anything about him if any of this true and now it's being quoted as fact and all kinds of publications is ridiculous. I did meet him at a party in the 1960s knew nothing of what was to come out later he seemed like a nice enough guy he was bartending at a party that. I was not a big party person so we spent a few minutes talking to him. The only thing I knew about him at the time that he was considered a go-between why is so young and I probably didn't even know where to go between was but I do know
Nope, Scotty was 100% legit. His proven facts go back many decades.
I would never say you can't be right but I still have my doubts@@MrEdWeirdoShow
Watch his documentary..rooms slam full of pictures..home movies..letters..stacks and stacks of documents in every room.he said they are all dead now so he told it all
Thank you for your response where can I see the documentary is on the web? I would love to watch it thank you for your note@@pikiesmith9236
So what are you watching on teepee today?
Walter and Cooper, dang how disappointing, makes their leading man movies not very watchable anymore
Is everything tumultuous?
Vagner?
Bob Wagner, didn't he kill his wife?
I personally think they're all revolting
You never met any of them, you're basing your opinion on mere stories you've been told which in cases could turn out to be totally inaccurate.
Another "Hollywood Babylon"!
It would be a third installment. The original TWO were by Kenneth Anger, followed by Scotty Bowers.
@@MrEdWeirdoShow I saw the Skip E. Lowe show interviewing Scotty Bowers.
I wonder how truthful he was or if he made half or what he wrote up?
McDonald’s Ha
Blake did the crime but not the time
He means Satanic lives.
👎👎
This narrator is stunningly bad at speaking, reading, imparting info, there is nothing telegenic about her the is not info, its torture.
You know where the off switch isdon't you? Of course you are right he is annoying and he's annoying on a lot of other shows like this too
Sounds like the Biden administration
Far far too much crap in this vid. Jut cut to the fucking chase.
What you don't seem to understand is there is no chase in cut to the chase
