Scary Blind Item

    "A fairly minor producer died within the past month or so. It wasn't really noteworthy for the most part, but there were three or four very happy actors to see him pass. All of the actors are aging, but not George Burns old or anything. In fact, they are still A list at least by reputation. Could they carry a movie OR television show on their own anymore? Probably not. Are they regularly in movies AND television? Yes. See, back in the day there was a party like you could only have in Hollywood's glory days. Martinis, cigars and lots of beautiful women. Well it turns out that one of the beautiful women didn't go home at the end of the night. There was some incident involving either five or six actors. Two have died. Not knowing what to do, these actors got a studio gofer, now our dead producer and told him to get rid of the body and not tell anyone about it or tell anyone where the body was buried. Throughout the remainder of the producer's life, these actors took care of him, but were always afraid he would spill the secret because he was the only one who knew where the body was buried. No body, no case. Now, they are just worried that something will show up in the estate sale and some person will stumble onto a letter or some other evidence hidden in a desk drawer which will come back to haunt them. Maybe that's why one of the actors offered to buy the house with everything in it at a price that is twice what the place is worth. Still waiting to see if it will be accepted, but there won't be an estate sale yet for sure. The actors think they are being careful and that their true motives are unknown. Not at all the case, but the producer's widow is happy to take their money and be done with it. One hint is they have all been in at least one western. Although it could be on television OR in a movie."

    >> Read all the guesses. Yikes!

    It was originally posted in 2007 when the story came out, but one of the guys involved, a producer, has just recently died.

    Yeah, I could see something like that happening back in the 50's-70's when the studios controlled all aspects of everything.
    I would assume that the house was purchased by one of the actors and the secret is safe...for now.
    Really gets you thinking on who it could be.

    I am guessing Mr. Dirty Harry is one of the actors.

    This blind item drove me nuts when it came ouot in 2007 and STILL drives me nuts now!! I always thought Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Marlon Brando, and Jack Nicholson were the actors, especially after Nicholson bought Brando's (his neighbors) bungalow. I know this BI is still blind, right?

    how does the person who WROTE the blind item KNOW the blind item? lmao is that what you are asking?

    Normally, a tip off, but a case like this is actually industry urban legend. I remember when Very Bad Things came out and Peter Berg (FNL) produced it. He always said that he heard the story of the Hollywod 5 as a child and then used it as a springboard for VBT. I too remember hearing the rumors of the Hollywood 5 when I was a child. It was always a big bruhaha, kind of like a Hollywood urban legend, and back then studio girls were used, passed around, and then magically disappeared. There have been documented cases of a celebrity charged with murder at studio events, such as Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle (do not ask me how I know this, I have a friggin addiction to wikipedia clickthrus)

    Yes! As in, if it were true only those few select people who know otherwise the story makes no sense- they would be worried about a lot more people knowing their secret.
