Blind Item #6 - Reader Blind - Old Hollywood

The father of a current A-list director was once an up-and-coming young actor. When he was getting started in Hollywood, an aging star who got her start in silents introduced him to a talent agent. The agent was known for his stable of attractive, young, male clients. He offered the actor roles and a nice lifestyle in exchange for sex. Shocked, the actor knocked him to the ground. The actor was soon fired from his TV show and had trouble getting acting work, even under another name.
