Mabel Normand?
"This started during the Taylor scandal when it was claimed that maybe he had been killed for interrupting a drug ring, and maybe Normand was part of it. While not prominent during her life it has become more commonly believed as time has passed despite no evidence. Normand's family, estate and personal nurse were all adamant she had never used any drugs. Sadly this rumor has become common place in Hollywood lore."
Mabel Normand - she worked with DW Griffith, Chaplin, Pickford.
I think Normand was A+ for most of her career.
How about Claire Adams? She was a nurse before coming to Hollywood, and starred in the second largest grossing silent film of all time ("The Big Parade"). She worked with King Vidor, Tom Mix, Wallace Beery, Lon Chaney.
My first thought was Louise Brooks. She was an avid reader, but she did not die soon after her career ended, so it's probably Mabel Normand.
Louise Brooks?
The Old Hollywood stories are so much more interesting and and the people are way more fascinating than today's crap. ♥
+1, Scandi
I fear for a few generations down the road who will read today's gossip as "Old Hollywood" and wonder why 2010's culture was so obsessed over the Kardashians, Real Housewives, and Teen Moms.
NOT Louise Brooks. Her last marriage ended in 1938 and she died in the 70s, so not "a short time later."
Mabel Normand... Read her Wikipedia page. Spells it all out.
Thelma Todd?
Yup, Mabel Normand. Just like cc423 said, read her Wiki. Everything is there. Drugs, books, murders, guns
Agree about Old Hollywood being so much more interesting. Even the celebs in the 70s and 80s had more going on than this current crop. Years from now the tales that will be told of plastic surgery and tanning mishaps, stylist infighting and that time the paps showed up at the wrong location.
There's one problem with Mabel.
She didn't really start cracking the books until her buddy William Desmond Taylor got her into them. After his murder, her tastes went back to the Policeman's Gazzette variety of reading.
