Murdered by Hustlers: Screen Legend Ramon Novarro - Shocking Details 

You are on point with your comment. Scott is so passionate about Old Hollywood or Hollywood in general, that would make a great read!

Capital idea !

Sadly people oftentimes prefer to believe the lies rather than to believe and know the truth.

Kenneth Anger made up alot of that book the murder weapon was not a dildo. They just beat him to death. Anger really stretched the truth with that book.

I agree. Scott, please put all the secrets you know in a book. I will pre order.

Exactly! It's so sad. And then some might justify their work by saying they are practicing free speech and freedom of the press. What they forget is that they must not take the liberty to abuse this right.

Wow, so cool , what a story , glad u have that pic ,

@@natalieangelo54 thanks I’ll try and post it

Hell0kitty,

Thanks for sharing

Please post it. Evidently, the man was doing his best to live his Catholic faith. May he rest in peace.

I grew up on classic Hollywood so I was so happy to have found Hollywood Babylon in a thrift store as a kid after having heard so much about it from 'Mysteries and Scandals,' that show hosted by AJ Benza. WOW. The amount of trash I had to unlearn from Hollywood Babylon is insane. K. Anger should be ashamed of himself. The photo of Lewis Stone still haunts me to this day. Come to think of it, Scott would be a GREAT choice for the host of an updated 'Mysteries and Scandals!'

@@MummyBrown I agree 100%. Scott is brilliant at sorting out the truth.

My sentiments exactly!

I heartily concur ! Kenneth Anger's "Hollywood Babylon" books are a joke.

I remember thinking for so many years that Jayne Mansfield was decapitated.

Karma for sure , what goes around comes around

​​@@natalieangelo54 Certainly does!

Sometimes❤

Whos paul...?

@@kathleendobens6648 one of the men that beat up Ramon to death

I wonder if it’s on RU-vid I will check after I watch.

The Wild, Wild West was a great show! I watched it during my early teens in the 60s.

@@barneyronnie My brother & I regularly watched "The Wild Wild West" on TV as youngsters in the late 60s.

Me too!

I'm not a fan of modern Hollywood but old Hollywood is facinating.

Well said and well put.

My sentiments exactly.

There will be more. Marie Prevost, Lupe Velez are two of the worst. Thank you for watching!

@@DearlyDepartedTours I'm pretty sure that he also started the Urban Legend about Fatty Arbuckle and the champagne bottle...and Jayne Mansfield being beheaded in the crash. Both of those were pretty bad too, along with Ramon Navarro.

I've always wondered who/where that f'd up story about Arbuckle started.

I have 100s of books on Hollywood of the old days from the beginning. Didn’t know that a lot of they are false

I also have that book😮

P. S. To this day, whenever I hear Novarro or Lupe Velez's name, I think of Hollywood Babylon's account of their deaths...

My story is almost the same as yours because I loved that book too. Then I discovered Scott. 🙌🏻😉💕

I would go into the bookshop and read passages from That Book till I read it all....creepy

FYI, many gay people I know are (rightly) insulted when their LIVES are called "lifestyles," as it trivializes who they are and suggests they had/have a choice.

🙏🏾❤️

Love Miriam Hopkins, so beautiful and talented!

Ramon Nararro wasn't the only Hollywood Star to have beautiful photographs made of them. There were many Stars to benefit from the talented George Hurrell.

Remember we try to judge people by the content of their character and not their appearance. #bekind.

@@unclenelvis In that regard you are correct but one cannot help but remember the phrase 'Radio Faces". Some people had million dollar voices and some had both the looks and the voice. For those with both it was the Silver Screen. Radio Actors were some of the best in the business and their talent was especially appreciated during the "Golden Age of Radio".

He would have never been paired with Garbo in "Mata Hara" if he didn't have the looks!

@@richardmcleod1930 I’m this situation and indeed most others the words unclenelvis you’re right are not required because……..? That’s right. I’m wheats right.

Yes !

I thought it was me. I also had a difficult time understanding your guest. I missed most of what he was saying.

​@@LousFool...I am wondering why you did not do the interview in the Middle of Laurel Canyon Blvd. so we could miss ALL of the conversation. Why do a really poor interview halfway ?

​@@LousFool...You were both poorly prepared and wearing those casual clothes and ugly hats in a graveyard shows the lack of respect...INNER RESPECT for this situation.

I think better looking than Valentino.

@@auntieclara1811 Ramon was muy delicious 😌

I wouldn't say that any of those 3 gentlemen was a "poor man's" someone else. Each of them had a unique look. Valentino had a more sensuous look so that he could play smoldering parts, like the sheik. However, he was the most limited in his range of characters. I think his best part was in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ". That was his best tango. It's too bad he died so young but perhaps he was truly a meteor. Ramon was able to play upscale men through the ages - like Ben Hur in Jesus's time as well as a 1920's well-dressed man about town. I am not sure if I can name a lead acting part past 1935 or so that he would have been perfect for. But I don't think Ramon necessarily was unhappy. He moved on to make a very good living buying and selling real estate. And, for me, the best looking, most versatile actor was Gilbert Roland. He possessed a self-assured masculinity that never came off as overbearing or derogatory of women. Bette Davis told an excellent story (I think it was to Carson) about her first encounter with Gilbert. She said that she moved to Hollywood to be in the movies. Upon arrival she went through the rounds of go-sees and ended up in the office of the big guy at a top notch movie studio. He told her that he believed she had a chance in the movies but he wanted to see if she could handle love scenes. Bette started to panic because she had no experience with men. The movie mogul had selected 5 young men hopefuls for the screen test. Bette sat on the couch and one by one they did a kissing scene with her. She said they seemed to be pretty clumsy and as inexperienced as she. Number 5 walked in and he was introduced as Gilbert Roland. He sat right down next to her. Then the director called "Action". Gilbert looked into her "Bette Davis eyes", telling her how thrilled he was to be alone with her. He lightly kissed her on the cheek and then the lips. Then, well, she told Johnny that the earth moved, the bells rang, and that Gilbert REALLY knew what he was doing.

@@marthawelch4289 Thank you for your insights. 🙂

@@laurastrobel718 Thank YOU for your reply and I hope you have a happy and healthy life!

It was a great book I was young then so it impressed me very much I really enjoyed this interview today though

not the original house. I stayed in the original house in 1985. Please see my other comments here and my links proving this.

Makes one question the Bible too then. How many times it's been rewritten & translated, by humans in their own words or interpretation, it's not improbable.

The first thing I read and kept being drawn back to. I did smile when I realized the interview took place in a cemetery and grateful for the people who are available to help. We've come a long way in the last half century. Welcome to the humane race.

Kenneth Anger was a follower of Anton LaVey, the founder of the Satanic church.
