Eartha Kitt and Cesar Romero (1966)
Eartha Kitt, the legendary Catwoman, had a personal life that appeared straight out of a Lifetime movie. Eartha was born on a cotton plantation, and the lady who claimed to be her mother moved her away from the farm with no knowledge of Eartha’s father. Next, Eartha lived with her nasty aunt after her self-proclaimed mother’s lover refused to keep her around. Finally, Eartha managed to flee to New York, where she met a cousin she had no idea she had to live with. It turned out that she wasn’t simply a cousin but Eartha’s actual birth mother.

Jane Russell in Howard Hughes’s THE OUTLAW (1943)
Famous aviator extraordinaire Howard Hughes tried his hand at filmmaking. Still, the only thing that came out of it was his discovery of the renowned Jane Russell at a dentist’s office. Jane would have outstanding acting skills, but Howard was more concerned with her chest than anything else. Howard, believing that manufacturing a bra was as simple as building an airplane, attempted to make a wired device to elevate Jane’s breast, but it was so unflattering that Jane refused to wear it.
John Wayne smoking in hot pants while vacationing in Mexico (1947)
As seen by this photograph, John Wayne certainly always marched to the beat of his drum, but what many people may not realize is that John Wayne was an ultra-conservative. In reality, he was a key member of the McCarthy anti-communism party in the 1960s (which would later turn out to be a dreadful witch hunt of an association). John was also an outspoken opponent of change and the leftist or liberal party in general.
