Hi, Jordan the Lion. Your video about Lupe Velez is the first video of yours I've had the pleasure of watching. You did a good job researching your subject and I compliment you on your thoroughness. It always irritates me a bit when people don't have the facts correct on their subject. I'm, personally, addicted to Hollywood history, especially the history during the "early years" of the movie industry. If you don't mind, I'd like to add an interesting fact about Lupe Velez. During Hollywood-Land's silent era (starting around 1910 or so), the so-called 'top brass' of each studio was extremely diligent about maintaining the public images of their actors and actresses, much, much more so than today. This proved to be somewhat difficult to do with Lupe and her own background and, eventually required some creativity. The only reason I even know this is because my great grandmother, Angelita who was born in 1909, and lived in San Luis Potosi in Mexico, the same village as Lupe and they were both around the same age. My great-grandmother, Angelita, told our family that Lupe was born out of wed-lock and that her biological father already had a wife and family when she was conceived. Anyway, my great grandmother, Angelita's, own mother or my great, great grandmother (and who's name I don't remember) was friendly with Lupe's mother and they would sometimes talk. She said that the reason Lupe was sent to Texas to live with the nuns at the age of 13 were for the purely opportunistic reasons of her part time prostitute mother. Lupe's mother, who didn't marry any of her children's fathers, understood all too well that, because of her own life style and the way she occasionally made money to make ends meet and, more importantly, because of Lupe's illegitimate birth, knew that her daughter would never be accepted by the upper crust of Mexican society. Keep in mind these were the years between (approximation) 1919 to 1925, the same year that Lupe turned seventeen. The Mexican Revolution was pretty much over and the country was desperately trying to recover from it socially, politically, financially, etc. During this time, Lupe's mother could see that her eldest daughter had blossomed into a very lovely young girl. Gone was the "child" who'd always helped care for her younger siblings while her mother went out to "work". Her mother realized the financial potential of having such a beautiful daughter. Terrified at the thought of Lupe getting pregnant by some village boy whose family was just as poor as their own, she immediately sent Lupe to the convent. I know a lot of the "lesser known" history about Lupe only because of what my great grandmother, Angelita, had told our family and because of what Angelita's own mother, my great great grandmother, had told her. There were a couple of scandals, too, but I don't want to take up too much of anyone's time. Thank you, Jordan and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Take care.

She should've gone to Mexico and had the baby without Hollywood knowing and have a family member care for the baby

If she was such a devout Catholic why would she commit suicide⁉️That's a major sin.She would fight with her husband at the time,Johnny Weismuller.He would show up for work on the Tarzan set with deep scratches and bruises all over his body.A mexican spitfire yes,but all this talk about being a devout Catholic was nonsense.The lifestyle she led was not conducive to a pious woman.She had a scandalous reputation and didn't care who knew it.

She is actually buried in Mexico City in panteon civil de Dolores. I saw in another documentary that she her 2nd love after Gary Cooper was Arturo de Cordova. He was married and Arturo's wife wouldnt grant him the divorce to marry Lupe. Rumor has it that the baby was either Gary's or even Arturo's. We will never know. She couldnt be with Gary because he was such a momma's boy. His mother despised Lupe and she ended up leaving him. I dont blame her haha. No way would I compare Sofia Vergara to Lupe Velez.

Poor Lupe.. Sad story. Rest In Peace Lupe 🖤

Nice tribute to Lupe. She had a great comedic talent. She was so young. I've read that she could have been another Lucille Ball if she had lived.

Thanks Jordan for all your work to bring us such great video. Very sad but interesting story. Love to Jah. Australia 🔆😎🔆

Good but sad video. I hope Lupe found the peace she was searching for.

Loved this Vlog on Lupe Velez! Definitely vlog more on Gary Cooper and Lupe and Gary and Patricia Neal too! Patricia Neal was pregnant by Gary as well and i believe had an abortion.

Lupe Velez was gorgeous and she was very confident and comfortable with her sexuality. Why does she have to be known for sleeping around and it sound bad? Still a double standard that the men that also, slept around with numerous actresses were not branded as loose or scandalized? I, love the 1940 and 1950's era, but I am glad that women have come a long way with out sexuality and independence.

Her funeral was held at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California; then her body was laid to rest in the ANDA area of Panteón Civil de Dolores cemetery in Mexico City, Mexico. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=6741

Thank you for not stooping to the level of reporting the false rumor that Lupe drowned in the toilet. It's one of those scandalous stories reported as fact in HOLLYWOOD BABYLON back in the day. I hadn't heard the bipolar story, though. Another great job, guy...

The real father of that child is another mexican actor named: Arturo de Cordova, in Mexico it was a huge scandal

According to the spanish reporters it was Arturo de cordova who was the father of this child. I seen her grave in Mexico City and I felt sad of how abandon she was left in a cementery of million of people.

Great video!Very interesting!I remember you from a Santa Monica video on Stan laurel's apartment.Very sad ending for a woman that brought so much joy to people.I love Lupe and Iam glad that you made this.

I'm sorry for the tension you've had to endure in this beautiful place

Women like that are like a constant fireworks parade. In between sparklers they're great, but then another explosion goes off and, if you're too close by, you get scorched.

Thanks for the video. Nice looking house Lupe lived in. I would bet her ghost still is around,

I would love a video on Lupe Velez and Gary's relationship I am just now learning about her!❤

New viewer. Looking forward to watching your interesting vlogs 🎬

Such a sad ending to a beautiful woman. Thanks so much for the vlog.

I wonder if the house is haunted ?

Sad story. She was very beautiful. Amazing that her house still exists, if it´s not destroyed lately of course. I can´t understand why they destroy all the beautiful old houses of the great stars from the real Hollywood. Pickfair, Falcon Lair and Errol Flynns house and much more. The real Hollywood doesn´t exist anylonger.

Another great vlog on a Mexican born legend. Thanks for sharing this Hollywood history that I was unaware of. It’s a sad state of affairs that the unborn child had to pay the price as well with her suicide. It just shows what the price of fame is sometimes if you allow your turbulent past to haunt you or fail to reach out to a real friend or professional help. Thanks Jordan for the touching stories you put together for our own soul searching moments and lessons in life. ❤️🙏🏻✨

Look at that amazing hair !!! You've still got amazing hair! Wow, this is one I didn't know about. How very, very sad. To feel that you have no other options, or friends that cared enough to step in and get her out of there and maybe to another country or something where she could see things differently. Times were so much different then. Suicide is a huge no-no too. I wonder how she thought that would even be ok??? So sad. It's really amazing how much you know about Hollywood and actor's lives. You are a wealth of information! You are like a walking, breathing encyclopedia of Hollywood. I am always amazed. As you can see, I am still happily playing catch up on your videos. I am so happy for you becoming a homeowner ! What an exciting time for you and Jah ! I'm sorry you had to leave California to be able to afford to do that, but it was probably time. You are always right. I have no doubt you miss it. Hopefully you can still do more amazing stories and figure out a way to keep teaching us all you know and learn about our national treasures. I am really rooting for you Jordan and you and Jah have a leaf on our prayer tree! It is a poster of a tree in our house, where we add leaves for all the people we pray for(animals are-ofcourse-included). May God bless you Jordan. You are "GOOD PEOPLE" I saw you were on live chat, but it said it was private and I couldn't get on to say hi and wish you well. Do you have a p.o. box where fans can send housewarming gifts or registries @ any stores anywhere online? I would love to get you something for your new place! Maybe a Home Depot gift card for plants or wtvr you need? Please let us all know. I know I'm not the only one who wants to do that for you. You are such a special being. You are pure light! I feel like you are my younger brother and/or son(as I am 52- you could be one of my kids!) My daughter has been traveling. Going back to Bristol, England in a couple months.ngreat place for an artist(she is) Take good care of yourself and Jah. I know you will. But know we are keeping you in our family prayers and have a leaf on our prayer tree. We love your vligs! I've even got my hubs watching them! :0

So the story from Mysteries and Scandals is also not true? It also mentioned her drowning in the toilet, but no mention of Arturo DeCordova at all.

I hope you do a Clara Bow vlog. I know her Bedford Drive house is gone, but what about her other homes? Thanks!

JAH is so adorable💕🐾🐾

Lupe was a violent drama queen to the end; she enjoyed fighting with all her lovers. Read what Errol Flynn had to say about her insane behavior in his autobiography, "My Wicked, Wicked Ways", a real page-turner. Btw, love your tousled golden locks @ 0:37, ...nix the pomade.

U go Jordan !! We like u , and forget the wacko's .. they have no life , and there weak !! Vito& Corrie :)

RIP Martin Landau

I love your videos .thank you for your good work. RIP George Romero

Such a sad story, but glad you did this vlog on Lupe Velez. I can't wait each day to see what story you''ll be vloging!

Tha Mexican spitfire love your vlog keep up the good work

Great Vlog. Thanks!!!

This story was a little disturbing to me. she not only took her own life.. she took two. why not do that after the baby is born if she didn't want to live with the shame of having a baby out of wedlock? at least give him or her a chance in life. I felt it was selfish to do what she did. great vlog as always Jordan and Jah xx

LOVED this one ! Great job Jordan. Blessings for an awesome day......

I love the history of old hollywood. Such a sad story though..

Love your videos - Have you thought about doing any stories about John Ritter ? Would love to see his house.

Why would she blame Harold Raymond in her note, if the father was someone else? That logically makes no sense. Even if she was trying to protect another person reputation, she could have just kept quiet in the note. I don’t tend to believe or I should say, I don’t give much validity to secrets. Like that person claims both of the parties said something, that no way to confirm the story. That’s how you get destroyed reputations. It sounds to me that Harold initially asked her to get an abortion and being catholic couldn’t do that. That’s probably why he said he’d marry her to give the baby a name. The way the note was written, that’s how I’d read it. If you have the ability to test the baby’s DNA against Gary Cooper’s ancestors. Then you’d know for sure, but without some legal reason, it’s not possible. Also being catholic, she probably had a strong catholic family and they could have given her a hard time, causing her to spiral out of control and she decided to end it. That happens still today, but not as much as it would have in the 1940s. Lupe Vélez would have to be very vindictive to blame Harold for her demise or just plain cruel person and I don’t think that’s the case.

a fascinating vlog the day before Lupe's birthday!

Suicide is more of a sin in Catholicism than having a child out of wedlock. The story of her "suicide" is very suspicious, and I'm astounded it's been so accepted as "history" for so long.

Kind of weird, she killed herself. She could have had an abortion or go into hiding and give up baby for adoption or adopt her own baby which Loretta Young did. Gary Cooper really did sleep around a lot after he was married. Sad ending for a successful actress.

Thank you for telling us that they passed. I had not heard yet. Admired the work of both, especially Landau.

Late to the Lionhearts party today; slept in but lovely video yet again. Jah is such the star just like his master . What a sad stroy; beautiful house . RIP Martin Landau

Head first In the toilet Too much Spicy food And.pills

Poor lass, she had the right intentions at the end about marriage, but I think the men involved at the end needed to grow a pair and man-up,take responsibility,it takes two to tango acting like children themselves. Nice vlog 👌.

I think it was Harold Maresh. Like her letter said, i believe her in that part. He was her downfall, and her collapse as woman in that time.

Excellent vlog .. very tragic.. thank you.. have a wonderful day!

Great Vlog.. I am actually going by there tmrw, being its her bday! 👍

Jordan, what an amazing vlog! I'd heard different stories about Lupe Velez! She lived a turbulent life! I wonder did she have any family members, living with her? So glad that you covered it! R.I.P. Lupe! 🙏

Martin Landau was in the original 'Mission Impossible" series!

Gooooood morning Jordan and Jah!!! wow!!! what a fascinating story. I am telling you Jordan you have a knack for this type of thing. Loved today's vlog. Hope you have a great day. 🦁💚forever....

Can't wait for the Tales from the crypt vlog! 👻

I just adore you and Jah!!! Your vlogs are so interesting and it makes my day. They are so freaking AWESOME!!! I LOVE learning something new in Hollywood!!

Loved the photo bomb bust lol! Have your best day yet, everyone! :-D

Awww How sad.Thank you for sharing this Jordan.Look at the date.7 7 7

Love this video. Read about Lupe Velez and Gary Cooper years ago. I find that the stories of Old Hollywood much more interesting than today's stories.

my grandma loved silent movie

What another great video! What a wonderful memory that you.have, dear!

RIP Mr Landau

it was not hard for the mob to make a person write a suicide note, before forcing them to commit suicide.

I read somewhere that it's just an urban legend. It was also included in an old underground comic I have somewhere -also stated as fact, which of course it wasn't

awesome home very sad story thanks mr. jordan

I just love the way you notice the small things around you when you vlog. It makes them special. 😊

Lupe had a pair of stilettos that had a small knife in one of the heels.

Wow such a sad story. Did you ever do a vlog on her and Gary Cooper?

I got your back jordan.

Another great vlog. Sad story but very interesting. Jah is so cute.

Wow talk about a story Jordan, Lupe Velez my goodness. That is so sad. The saddest part is taking the life of her child...tragic innocent lost

Very sad! It was such a different time !

did you ever do a vlog about kevin gilbert

good video :) Rip to them

Jordan great vlogs. We watch everyday during supper. Thanks for coming into our lives. Can't wait for your Sweden vlogs!!!

Nice Video! Thank you

Sad, sounds like she had mental problems.

Thank you for life for not saying Jennifer Lopez when you mentioned sexy Latina of early Hollywood. Sofia SSSSSSSMOKES WHATSHERFACE !

Where is the location of her house?

What a hypocritical life being catholic and sleeping with all these different men and ending your life all for a pregnancy but it was okay for her to have different lovers at the same time.

Hollywood studio's, particularly MGM, had their stars under control. Clark Gable, ran over a pedestrian and killed the person. That was covered up to a point and the family never got compensated for the death of their loved one. Hollywood covered up a lot of murder's among themselves. No bad publicity had to spill out of the MGM studios. As for Lupe, sad that she had all these affairs and killed herself with Gary Cooper's kid. It might have been a boy! Jordan, you did an excellent job and research on Lupe, and so many other's. I've seen more of Hollywood, Ca., then when I was there back in the 70's.

🚀🚀🚀

wow what a sad story thanks mr. jordan

THANKS JORDAN...‼‼‼‼ I LOVE 💗, LOVE 💗, LOVE 💗 YOUR VIDEOS‼‼🎬💗🎥👏👏👏 ‼‼‼‼ Again, THANKS for ALL THE GREAT UPLOADS & VIDEOS‼‼‼‼ 🎬🎥😍😘💗💋👍👌✌

She joined a long list of actresses who committed suicide over failed love affairs.Another famous actress was Miroslava who was from Europe but settled in Mexico where she became a big star.Very sad that having fame and money isn’t everything.

Hey Jorden 🤘🏻 idk if this is a good idea but have u thought of maybe going to the old haunts and walks of Jimi Hendrix,Janis Joplin and the doors? Places from that era? I think that would be so cool and I think you'd make it so interesting with the way u explain things and tell the stories behind things! Thank u so much!

Great vlog...She was very talented and had great sense of humor plus hot looks. Seems to me its the classic Hollywood tragedy, woman sleeping around, maybe hoping to further her career and when she got jammed up she had no one to turn to, good time girl that no one wanted to deal with, maybe her anger issues, booze, drugs, mental problems....tragedy.

She was quite the promiscuous woman. There are stories out there of her servicing 3-4 men at a time. A source close to her at the time said she loved sex and loved it rough. Dirty dirty....no #metoo here!

Great job with this I really love your videos you do what I wish I would’ve done when I lived in LA but we didn’t have cell phones back then ha ha. I don’t know if you’re still doing these but now it’s Scotty Bowers Hollywood there’s a lot more fun stories to tell

Another great one! Hugs for Jah👊

Yes the Actor Jorge Negrete was the director of the Sindicate of Actors of Mexico and he arranged a beautiful view for Lupe. So sad. Such great talent.

Wonderful

Very sad story !!!

awesome vlog jordan

Fascinating story

Lupe was such a cutie pie - she was looking for somebody to actually love and care for her but she was always attracted to narcissistic hounds who were just chasing tail - really sad .

Good video

Great Vlog thank. Lope's memorial service was here in the US. But she was buried in her hometown on Mexico

awesome job

These LA tours you always did were great! Miss when you lived there
