Here are some chilling old Hollywood scandals.  

Lana Turner's mobster boyfriend, Johnny Stampanato, died at the hands of her daughter during a domestic dispute. But some believe that Lana was the guilty one—that she stabbed him and then forced her daughter to take the blame. 

Errol Flynn was accused of sleeping with two 17 year old girls. He even went to trial for it, but that didn't seem to dissuade him from pursuing teenagers. He once said, "I like my whiskey old and my women young." 

On the set of Howard Hughes' film Hell's Angels, one mechanic and three stunt pilots lost their lives.  Because he wanted realistic aerial footage, Hughes pressured his pilots into performing extremely dangerous stunts. 

Superman actor George Reeves was said to have taken his own life, but there were also rumors of foul play. Many believed that his affair with Tony Mannix was at the heart of it, and that her husband, a Hollywood Fixer, had had him killed. 

America exiled Ingrid Bergman because of her affair with Roberto Rossellini, and one politician called her a "powerful influence for evil."

For some artists, lip syncing is a practical evil of big televised productions. For others, it’s practically a moral offense. Over the years, we’ve seen bold refusals, hilarious rebellions, and spectacular meltdowns when the track kept playing but the singer very much did not.

When Miranda Lambert’s marriage to Blake Shelton imploded, she turned heartbreak into chart-topping empowerment.

Country music has always thrived on heartbreak—but few artists have galvanized it quite like Miranda Lambert. When her high-profile marriage to fellow country superstar Blake Shelton unraveled in 2015, the headlines were loud, the rumors louder, and the scrutiny relentless. But instead of shrinking, Lambert did what she’s always done best: she wrote, she sang, and she turned personal pain into platinum records.
