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."

Movies That Never Should Have Had A Sequel, According To Fans

Some movies end so perfectly that audiences walk out satisfied, emotionally complete, and ready to move on with their lives. Naturally, Hollywood looks at that moment and says, “But what if we did it again… worse?” Sequels can be incredible when there’s a real story left to tell, but when the original already wrapped things up neatly, a follow-up can feel less like a continuation and more like an awkward reunion no one asked for.
