Old Hollywood Blind Item #5 - Mr. X
This A/B-list actress and comedienne rarely if never talked about her teen years to interviewers. When she was growing up in New York City, and still very much underage, drunken friends of her father (who was a bouncer at several mob-controlled saloons) would rape her. One man gave her an STD. Considering her public persona, it was something that was too painful to discuss.

Ethel Merman?
Born and raised in NYC(Queens)
Marion Davies
Or Fanny Brice.
I think if it was Merman, Enty would have mentioned that she sang
To be different, Joan Rivers?
According to Merman's bio (a written and heavily researched book, not Wiki), her father was a lifelong bookkeeper and accountant, and a devout Episcopalian. And I figure the blind would have called her a Broadway star or legend as opposed to a comedienne.
Mae West
May West---she was considered a promiscuous persona, she was raised in NY and
"Her father was a prizefighter known as "Battlin' Jack West" who later worked as a "special policeman", and later had his own private investigations agency" according to Wikipedia...
Merman would be listed as Broadway star, she was mainly known for her singing also.
Mary Tyler Moore
Barbara Stanwyck
Mae West
Rita Hayworth. Similar blind item was just revealed.
Nah - her father was a doctor, not a bouncer
