      How Much Do You Know About Old Hollywood Scandals?

      How Much Do You Know About Old Hollywood Scandals?
      Movies · Trivia / IQ

      By BrainFall Staff - Published: November 13, 2024

      Hollywood scandals stay alive and unwell in the City of Stars. Sam Smith transitioned from a wholesome crooner of vulnerable setbacks to “Unholy” lyrics delivered from a devilish presentation at the Grammys. Don’t Worry Darling made headlines for its alleged on-set affair and its director and lead actress’s epic feud. Leonardo DiCaprio floated away from Rose on the Titanic raft toward a 19-year-old that wasn’t even alive when his star-making movie broke the box office.

      This quiz blasts you from a past when nobody had a camera in their pockets, but Hollywood misdeeds appeared on everyone’s front door via newspaper delivery. Which comedic pioneer tickled more than a co-star’s funny bone without her laughing along? Which classic star was accused of being anti-American? Which pair of stunning starlets produced a catfight that spilled off the screen? Take a new look at old Hollywood here!

      Old Hollywood scandals

      Old Hollywood scandals colorized the black-and-white world of the Golden Age of Hollywood. William Randolph Hearst leveraged intimate dramas, hyperbolic headlines, and innuendo-filled rumors to get readership. Yellow Journalism's lucrative success paved the deceitful way for fake news to dominate today's journalistic landscape that countless people distrust.

      TMZ hounds almost every movie star in much more public ways than Judy Garland and other Hollywood stars of yesteryear were harassed by film studios behind closed doors. From fights on the set of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane to the suspicious death of Jean Harlow's husband, there was no shortage of scandals in the old days of Hollywood.
