LY arranged to secretly “adopt’’ her own daughter to avoid the scandal that would have damaged both the stars’ careers, particularly that of Young, a devout Catholic.
Yes, their daughter was actress, Judy Lewis.

@Shelbelle I've heard her a couple of times talk about her affair with Brando, and how sexy he was. She is still gorgeous; she has aged perhaps of anyone the best I"ve ever seen!

@Catiele I've read several reviews of that book (but not the book --- yet). Apparently there were a lot of same-sex affairs that would surprise us; those were pretty much closeted in those days.

@Pearlee I am still about Rock Hudson. That one was a total SHOCK!

There was also a sequel to that book... Both were pretty juicy... Supposedly, there's an unpublished Hollywood Babylon 3...

@Catiele I read recently online that Tracy and Hepburn were both gay and their so called affair was a coverup..I can believe it of Hepburn the way she dressed and acted, and maybe the reason his wife never divorced him, aside from being Catholic, because she knew he and Hepburn were really not together.

When the Harvey Weinstein incident first became public, my mother told me Shelly Winters wrote a book all about the Hollywood "casting couch." She named names. One of the things she mentioned was that everyone was a willing participant including her! The casting couch was part of the game of getting into showbusiness.
I Googled & Binged & it appears SW wrote around 3 books. My mother did not know which ones named names. Maybe all of them.
