What are some well - known craziest old Hollywood stories?

One of the craziest stories is the feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. They were both huge stars but couldn't stand each other. When they worked on 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?', the tension on set was palpable. Davis would allegedly step on Crawford's toes during their dance scenes on purpose. It was like a real - life catfight between two divas, and it made for a lot of behind - the - scenes drama that Hollywood still talks about today.

One well - known 'old Hollywood black story' is the struggle of Hattie McDaniel. She was the first African - American to win an Oscar for her role in 'Gone with the Wind', but she faced discrimination on set and in Hollywood at large. She had to use a separate 'colored' entrance at the premiere of the movie.

The case of Frances Farmer is a tragic old Hollywood story. She was a talented actress who faced a downward spiral. She was institutionalized against her will, and her career was derailed. Hollywood's harsh treatment of her, including false rumors and mismanagement, led to her downfall. There was also the tragic end of Jean Harlow. She died at a young age from kidney failure, and her short but impactful career was marred by personal and professional hardships.

The relationship between Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston had some 'kiss and tell' elements. Their relationship seemed to start suddenly and there were pictures of them kissing on the beach. This led to a lot of media speculation and stories about their relationship, with people trying to figure out how serious it was.

The movie 'Psycho' also has some scary tales associated with it. Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece was shocking for its time. The shower scene in particular was so intense. There were stories about how the actress who played Marion Crane was really nervous during the filming of that scene, and the black - and - white cinematography added to the overall sense of unease.

The story of Heath Ledger is a sad one. His intense preparation for the role of the Joker in 'The Dark Knight' took a toll on his mental health. He became so immersed in the dark character that it may have contributed to his overdose. Another is the exploitation of actresses like Hedy Lamarr. Her beauty was used to promote movies, but her intelligence (she was an inventor) was overlooked in Hollywood for a long time.

The 'Poltergeist' curse is quite well - known. There were a series of tragedies associated with the cast members. Some believe it was due to the use of real human skeletons as props in the movie, which was considered a desecration. This led to a string of misfortunes for those involved in the film.

Another is the 'Batman & Robin' debacle. The movie was too campy and had a lot of problems in production. The costumes were a mess, and the script was weak. It ended up ruining the Batman franchise for a while and was a huge disappointment to fans.

The story of Adam and Eve is also very famous. God created Adam from the dust of the ground and then created Eve from Adam's rib. They lived in the Garden of Eden, but they disobeyed God by eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As a result, they were cast out of the garden and had to face the hardships of life outside.

One well - known Old Testament story is the story of Noah's Ark. God was displeased with the wickedness of humanity and decided to send a great flood.
