Ava Gardner had Sinatra’s Number (1952)
Casanova in Hollywood Frank Sinatra was notorious for his philandering escapades and seductive ways with women, but Ava Gardner was the first lady to equal his notoriety.

The two had some of the most legendary fights and violent romances in celebrity history.
Sophia Loren (1957)
Goddess-like Sophia Loren appears to be the type of lady who was always attractive, successful, and stylish in the most natural way. On the other hand, Sophia came from war-torn Italy and had a childhood that was so far off from celebrity chances that it was difficult to dream. Nevertheless, Sophia entered a beauty contest when she was 14 years old, and her beauty swooned a big-time producer, who went on to marry her and assist her to success.
Errol Flynn and Gang (1946)
This legendary image depicts the one and only sword-swallowing Errol Flynn and his companions celebrating his birthday on his yacht. However, Errol Flynn’s cinematic success pales compared to the huge reputation he would subsequently build for himself offscreen. Erroll was claimed to be a nasty person who used his 65 acres of land in Jamaica to engage in various shady activities, including excessive alcohol consumption, attempted sex trafficking, animal cruelty, sex crimes, and much more, if you can imagine. Even though none of this was confirmed, it was the talk of the town for decades.
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Ischia, Italy (1962)
Liz Taylor and Richard Burton were notorious for their difficult relationship—they were even married twice—and while they had tremendous onscreen chemistry, it was always a partnership of fire between her fury and abrupt nature paired with his massive alcohol use. Richard was also known to go on diet binges to reduce weight when he would only eat straight booze for days at a time.
