Did they cover up Clark Gable's drunk-driving, hit-&-run manslaughter???? I'm a Huge, Clark Gable fan, but Damn, he was a cheat, responsible for the death of an innocent man, married for career advancement. You don't get to the top, & stay there for decades by being a nice guy.

@Melinda8162 3 года назад

@TautriadeltaI think it was a car accident, but the person killed was by an hit & run driver. I know I have heard and read about it before.

@Heartwing37 3 года назад

Wow, that’s some cynicism!

@garrettdavis6500 3 года назад

@Tautriadelta Whatever happened, it doesn't matter today either way. Gable ( I love the guy. He's one of my All-time heroes. ) but, Gable was 6 feet under before I was born. All of the those people. Whatever they have to answer for, it's between them, & God.

@Melinda8162 3 года назад

@Tautriadelta Well, ‘just relating’ stories and ‘hear-say’ is not slandering. And, it must cause damages to be considered ‘slander’ as a crime, if that’s what you’re getting at.

@suzyfarnham3165 3 года назад

@Tautriadelta Actually it is ALL true. He was drunk driving. He did marry Josephine and Ria to further his career. He was a serial cheater and he was an alcoholic? He was also my favourite actor ..BUT everything Garret said was totally true...except that the person died.That is debateable and always has been..depending on who you talk to.

Eddie Mannix was the inspiration for the name of the main character of the classic Mike Connor's detective series "Mannix" in the late 1960's/early 1970's

What a fantastic look at what went on behind the scenes back then. Not sure if there's been a movie made about these two hard men but it would certainly be epic and you can imagine all the things we didn't find out they fixed!

Hi Age of Vintage, how are you going? Loving this video about the two hard hitting "FIX IT MEN " I don't think there would have been a movie made in the Golden Years of Hollywood that didn't need something either, hushed up, or simply disappear into oblivion. How interesting would it have been back in that time, to be right in the thick of things, & see what went on behind the scenes. I'm sure there would have been plenty going on, that we still don't know about. Another fascinating insight into the way thing's were handled that's for sure. Nice to see AOV CHANNEL back up, LOVE LOVE YOU & your fantastic channel 😍 Love Love from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🎬🎬📽📽❤❤💛💛💙💙💚💚💖💖😊😊😄😄💘💘💋💋💋💋💋XXXXXXXX

Did you drop the Patricia Douglas story about the sales convention ranch party or did I miss the end of that? It's a good one. Many details lost because a lot of your storytelling meanders. Too bad.

@djquinn11 3 года назад

I just read her story, how disturbing and disgusting.

@zephyer-gp1ju 2 года назад

She was raped by one of the salesmen. Unlike many women of the time (and today) she didn't keep quite about it. I think there is a movie about it, Girl 21 or something to that effect.

@michaelhanning2321 7 месяцев назад

No, you didn't miss it because he ended the story when she showed up for call that she was led to believe was for background or extra work, leaving what was done to her completely unspoken. The rest of this clip doesn't do much better- Lot's of famous names with no substance. I worked on that lot for over 35 years, so I was looking forward to some well well written accounts of how these two men went about their business, but there was basically zero information delivered ...

Wonderful videos... Having had a 40 year career in HOLLYWOOD as both a writer and studio historian, I am well educated to your subjects. In this case I have to point out some of the stars you mention have the photos of others -like talking about VAN JOHNSON's scandal and showing KEENAN WYNN instead.... There are other examples, but I'm sure most people wouldn't notice anyway. Your presentation is first class, and I'm British myself and envy your appealing voice. When I came out to HOLLYWOOD in the 1970's, it was the very tail-end of the Studio System, but I was fortunate enough to meet, interview and write about so many of the people both in-front of and behind the camera, who have had iconic lives. From being studio historian for MCA-Universal 1977-1988 and for 20th Century-Fox 1989 -2015, whilst writing storylines for TV shows as 'historians' don't make enough to live-on, I got to make friends with people who personally knew firsthand a lot more about the scandals you show here... I hope we can communicate further as we clearly have something in common here -Cheers!

@Emacee1701 3 года назад

Narration with random pictures. Usually the pictures have nothing to do with what's talked about at the time (or at all). Come on, Dude. Match the pictures to the script. Otherwise, just do an audio only podcast. As it is, the pictures just get in the way.
