I'm positive you don't know the definition of evil.

My Father worked at Paramount during Taylor's time. He said she was gracious, polite, always on time, and always knew her lines. She treated the Studio Workers with respect and gave a wrap party at the end of the movie.

Met a taxi driver who picked Elizabeth Taylor up at the Stuttgart airport but in the 70s. She was with a lady friend and Taylor talked very friendly to him. The taxi driver had seen all her films and asked questions about them. She liked that and told me everything she could about them. She gave him the greatest tip he ever got in his life.

My Grandfather worked for MGM and Walt Disney and on the set of a number of television shows. I personally knew a number of behind the scenes people in the movie industry myself. Yes, Chaplin was a real ass. A Chronic womanizer and practically into child brides to say the least. He was also a real cheap son of a gun. John Wayne was a severe alcoholic. He had very little respect or patience for people. He was drunk by midday in many of his latter films. He would throw stones at different people to get them to move faster, so he could get a scene done and go have a drink. Gable was a great guy, down to earth and would stick up for many people whether they were black, white, rich, famous or poor. Joan Crawford was a real witch with a capital "B". And so was Bette Davis. Mickey Rooney had severe anger issues and may also have been Bipolar. He was a child actor and quite spoiled early on. He could not stop talking about himself and his accomplishments. I think as he aged, he became a better person though. Lucille Ball was a perfectionist. And one of the most down to earth people in the industry. Hardly an Evil person at all. I knew people that knew her and always spoke well of her. Liz Taylor was hardly evil either. She was a horrible loud mouthed drunk. The more she drank, the more she would throw belittling insults at different husbands she had at the time. Sober, she was quite elegant and a real lady. I saw her a number of times. Like many alcoholics, booze made her a different person. Sinatra, who always had a problem with booze and severe anger issues. Probably compounded with Bipolarity. Was very giving in certain ways. And yet, he thought of himself as above most anyone else. He was horribly rude and could be very thoughtless to the common man. Errol Flynn like Chaplin, was into very young women. A womanizer and maybe a bit of a pervert also. Many reports of his house with peep holes in walls etc. so he could watch his quests in bed. Another alcoholic that was a different person when he was drunk. I never heard anyone speak well of W.C. Fields. Not in a personal way. He was another drunk that was mean on and off the set. Marlon Brando was so good in many ways. And yet so rude also. He stuck up for many weaker people in life. And yet he could be hurtful and truly mean to those that he knew and used. I knew a woman that was one of the Top Hairdressers in the Movie industry. She was very old when I knew her. But she had great stories about many Hollywood stars. She spoke highly of many of the stars. And didn't hold back when talking about some of the worst. Two of her favorite people and friends, were Debbie Reynolds and Maureen O'Hara. Most of the people talked about in this Video, were hardly Evil. But many were selfish and alcoholic. Remember, the movie industry itself had Doctors on hand. And those Doctors handed out drugs to the actors, right and left. With the highs and lows from Drugs, booze and fame and money. Who wouldn't change into Mr. Hyde? Evil was the wrong word to use for most of these actors. Spoiled and Rude would be more realistic. They may not have been Saints, (Who is) but they were Great actors and highly admired for their skill. They made us laugh and cry and feel something different in our mundane lives.

In my opinion , a few of these people seem more ' troubled ' than ' evil' .

J Edgar Hoover should have had a file on himself.

I attended a symposium where Bertrand Russell’s daughter was the keynote speaker. After her presentation, we were allowed to ask questions. Someone said it must have been wonderful growing up with such great man for your father. She paused for a moment second and said he was a great philosopher who was passionate about his work. However, that didn’t mean that he was a great father. She said he ignored his family and gave almost all of his time to his work and to the people who were the movers and shakers with whom he worked and socialized. So people can be a different person to different people.

Another edit: When Dean's son, Dino, was killed in a plane crash, Jerry sucked up years of animosity between them and called Dean. He asked Dean if he could come over to visit while Dean was in deep mourning. They got together and were able to work out their issues with each other, along with Jerry offering tender support to Dean with the loss of his son. This really influenced my opinion of Lewis. Yes, he was complex, but so are a lot of creative types.

I think you need to learn what Evil means. There is a huge difference from being evil or just being bossy---especially if really are the boss.

Just because John Wayne didnt like Clark Gable doesnt make him evil

Whilst I agree about one or two of these actors, I think for most of them, 'evil' is a strong word.

So from your own account, John Wayne's "Evil" consists of loyalty to the man to whom he owed his career, John Ford. Simply ridiculous!

I take exception to your appraisal of John Wayne. I lived with my father in Newport Beach on Dover Drive just around the corner from "The Duke". There is is nothing wrong with having conservative views amongst liberals and vice versa. Nor is there anything bad about sticking up for his dear friend, John Ford. While my association with Mr Wayne is anecdotal, I would run into him a number of times - even invited aboard his converted military craft turned yacht, the Wild Goose - and he was very cordial. He knew me as the neighbor kid of Lieutenant Colonel Phinizy and would enter into chats several times when we met. In later years, I worked on a software gig at Great Western S&L for whom he was a spokesman. Their HQ was in Newport Beach and, while In the throes of misery and pain from his terminal cancer, he came to visit and gather with us one last time. He was gracious, polite, and expressed his gratitude for having the opportunity to represent the company. .. he died five days later.

This video is a friggin joke, the reasons given for calling these people EVIL are beyond rediculous, especially Bogart.

That John Wayne is on this list because of his conservative political views and because of his loyalty to John Ford says more about your views and less about any supposed "evil".

I really think that labeling Wayne as being "evil" just cuz he had a problem with one fellow actor...is really kind of an evil thing to do!

Bette Davis told Johnny Carson that Faye Dunaway was the worst costar she ever worked with in terms of behavior when the cameras weren't rolling, and they could never pay her enough to work with her again.

This should have been titled, "Character Assassinations, 20 Weak Cases"

I hardly think Bogart deserves to be number 1; in fact, i'm struggling to see why he was on the list at all.

Not liking a fellow actor makes them evil? Wow

List is WAY out of order. James Dean portrayed as evil? You include some that just fell in love when they should have restrained themselves, and you left some out, like Bing Crosby, who was cruel and violent.

If being excessively rude, foul-mouthed, unprofessional, moody and uncooperative made you evil, then 40% of the world would be evil. James Dean should not have made this list --- nowhere near it. Come on ---Evil? With a capital "E"? Really?

Lucy was a funny bright young woman who married a continuously emotionaly abusive cheater husband, Ricky. He flaunted his affairs publicly with no shame. And the ever enabling attitude of friends and business partners was an additional slap to her already frail and fragmented soul. Surrounded by abusers and enablers, I've often felt a heart full of pity for her. Not sure how she managed in those early years to continue to lift her head up.

That Lucille Ball #14 was so weak it should not have been included. After their divorce, Lucy struggled with life without Desi, alcohol use, prescription meds, and trying to anchor a show by herself. She was moody and demanding. That's hardly "Evil" and she doesn't belong in the category of "Most Evil Actors in Hollywood History." Smdh

Evil? That's a harsh criticism for most of these actors. Rude, bitchy, self possessed, egotistic, cruel, abusive yes but evil is a whole different category.

When you started on Kirk Douglas, you showed a photo of Laurence Olivier. Don't you ever look at your videos when you're finished?

Leonardo DiCaprio should play Orson Wells in a biopic! The older he gets, the more he looks like Wells.

Can anyone explain to me why Lucille Ball is evil simply because she is controlling? After all, she did own the production company that produced her shows.

The way Jerry Lewis was presented, it’s textbook serious bi-polar illness

No Woody Allen? Or did I miss him on the list.

Nothing has changed. Generally speaking, most movie actors drowning in millions for a few weeks of work/year, think that fame & money make them philosophers, politicians, life coaches & preachers. Yet behind their calculated facade, they can be ignorant, rude poseurs they were before making it big.

20 Most Evil is Inappropriate. The Hollywood Studio System was rarely good for anyone's mental health.

HOOVER WAS NO SAINT EITHER. 🖤

Dean in real life was not close to his father because his dad could not show him any emotion. I also think his mother died early. In spite of all that he was a great actor.

How was Lucille Ball at all evil in what was described?

Evil is the wrong word to use. Maybe arrogant, perverted, adulterous, or troubled.

I believe you left out one of the worst - Bing Crosby.

It is interesting that all of these supposedly "evil" actors are only called out -- for the most part -- after they're dead. That means, of course, they get no real chance to respond. Seems a bit unfair.

I still don't understand your theory on John Wayne being evil.

The problems with former child stars doomed them. Kids were given drugs to sleep, and to wake when they were needed. Addiction was inevitable. Judy Garland struggled with drugs all her life and finally overdosed.

What? No Kevin Spacey...??

If Faye Dunaway refused to memorize her lines, how did she know James Woods adlibed a line? As for Jerry Lewis, say what you wish about him. My brother suffered severe cerebral palsy. He had no fine motor skills and was wheelchair bound. The Muscular Dystrophy Association had developed a wheelchair that would have been perfect for him. When my mother contacted the MDA hoping to buy one, they refused, claiming my brother didn't have Muscular Dystrophy. Word made it to Lewis, who then bought a chair and gifted it to my brother

You need to concentrate your view on some of the "woke" monsters in Hollywood today. They make the old stars look like heroes.

How does Bogart being difficult in the production of Casablanca be #1 while Kirk Douglas being a rapist is only #12?

Many of these people were just troubled with depression problems, too much money, and access to more power than was good for them, aggravating their insecurities with associates, although I think I recognize a little toxic narcissism as well.

There is so much disinformation here. First off the film that Bette Davis and Joan Crawford made together was Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? not Feud. Feud was the cable film made not too long ago with Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange playing Crawford and Davis. Plus so many photos shown of other actors while you are discussing someone completely different. Who does the research and editing of these videos?

A little over a decade ago, we had a case here in England involving a TV and radio presenter named Jimmy Savile. Your story of Kirk Douglas reminded me of him as, like him, he was outed after his death. He was known to be eccentric, but few suspected anything and he raised a lot of money for charities. However about a year after his death, he was finally outed on a TV documentary, causing a large number of other victims to come forward. Some have accused the BBC and some of his TV/radio colleagues of being complicit or at least knowing but remaining silent.

John Wayne was a mans man,what you see is what you get. He was very polite and generous.

In what universe is Bogart worse than Chaplin, and most of the others on this list?

Sounds like you included Lucille Ball as "evil" because she was a serious business woman who controlled her brand by being "bossy"? Really, next to pedaphiles, rapists, addicts, violence and people suffering with mental health issues. Come on this is very sexist, and adds to the narrative that being a strong woman with boundaries who knows what she wants, and gets it, especially in that era, is in some way akin to some type of moral or character flaw.

Easy to attack the dead, isn't it?

Maybe we should revisit the definition of 'evil'. Some of these just seem like divas or troubled as many actors are.

I was very surprised at some of these choices and that you would leave out Bing Crosby.

Wow, did you get ANY insight from Sir Alec Guinness? He was James Dean's closest friend and confidant. You go into depth and bend over backwards to excuse Jerry Lewis, but you don't say a word about Dean's traumatic childhood causing psychological damage. Nope, he's just evil.

This list is EVIL

I think my definition of ‘evil’ is very different to this guys.

Interesting video. I wonder if we'll see you telling us about living modern actors. Lots of fodder there.

So. James Dean was not acting afterall. It was his nature to be a rebel w/o a cause

Most difficult people are deeply disturbed and mostly hurt themselves. I doubt you can call these people evil. They were flawed.

Why do we rarely see a list of the nicest celebrities. It's only an impression but I nominate Simon Baker , Yo- Yo Ma, Josh Groban and Keanu Reeves

What a load of BS. There was not one of these people who were evil. They may have been very nasty people, rude, and perhaps immoral but certainly not evil.

I wouldn't have used the word evil but darker sides or less perfect sides...but not 20 most evil, that's a huge stretch.

Evil? There’s nothing evil about them, they have flaws like we all do. The underage incidents are beyond comprehension and they should be locked up however, being moody and demanding isn’t evil.

Does this channel actually know what "evil" means?

John Wayne is not listed in the cast of Mogambo.

I don't know who did this list but they were so off the mark, listing people who weren't evil, and leaving off the ones that were.

You left out the problems with Sinatra owning the Cal-Neva Casino and Resort on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. The State of Nevada took it from him because of mafia contacts. The State warned him that his mafia friends were not allowed to be there. He didn't listen. There were tunnels underneath that allowed him, the Rat Pack, JFK, and Marilyn Monroe, and mafia friends to go to their own bungalows without going through the public areas of the property. There were trap doors in walk-in closets. (As an aside about 20 years after Marilyn died, a woman hung herself in Marilyn's bathroom.) The bungalows and the Frank Sinatra Showroom were torn down about 3 years ago. I have lived 4 miles from the Cal-Neva property for 23 years.

This is like reading any of the tabloids available in stores.

Hitler didn't really steal Chaplin's mustache. It was already a common style in Europe and elsewhere when Chaplin began using it.

It's ironic that so many iconic, yet flawed, troubled actors and actresses often clashed with each other performing together. Some of them were true criminals and suffered mental illness, but were protected by hollywood.

You can clearly see the "psycho" in Joan Crawford's eyes. If you want to get a glimpse of Jerry Lewis's personality, watch "Don Rickle's roasts Jerry Lewis" It's one of the best Don Rickle's bits in my opinion, but you see Jerry seemingly criticizing or making fun of Rickle's a few times during his act (talking to the actor sitting next to him). It's subtle, but it's there in my opinion. It really opened my eyes to how insecure he must have been.

There was always something creepy about The Little Scamp.

You need to redefine your definition of evil

Chaplin literally invented Hollywood and was treated abominably by America. Thankfully after an idyllic and happy life in Switzerland, still happily married to Oona, he was awarded an honorary Oscar for which he received the longest standing ovation ever; a full 20 minutes. A close friend of Mary Pickford - he revered her business sense and contribution to United Artists Studio- something many men have never managed since.

So John Wayne stood up for his friend John Ford - and that's 'evil'?

For years it was assumed James Dean was entirely at fault in the crash that took his life. Investigation and research into the accident later revealed entirely otherwise.

How were many of these people evil? Lucille Ball was a strong woman who demanded perfection from those she worked with. Not evil. Ridiculous list. Some evil, most not.

People say Tracy was gay? What the hell is true. People say Katherine Hepburn was gay.

Someone should have had a secret file on Hoover considering all the EVIL things he was doing behind the scenes...LOL

Hollywood is a sick place

What is wrong with these young girls wanting old men? I worked as a nurse in an old folks home, it’s not a pretty sight!!!!!

Lucy OWNED the bleeping studio!

Remember going through Lucille Balls lemon-coloured dressing room at Universal Studios years ago. A thrill.

What about Wallace Beery? It's said he was notoriously cruel with juvenile co-stars. Also, that he was involved in the beating murder of old time comedian Ted Healy.

I love at the 14:57 mark when you speak of Kirk Douglas but show an image of Laurence Olivier, Brilliant. Well Done.

Sooo this is a list that deems rapists and pedophiles as equaly evil as "bossy" women?

Oh wow really enjoyed this video 😊 thx for sharing.... smiles

My high school drama teacher was in a Shakespeare production in which Orson Welles had the lead. According to him, Welles just double-talked his way through rehearsals, remarking to his assistant, "Remind me that I need to learn that by opening night."

This list in my opinion is not very good. Bogart was the worst because he was moody during filming while in a hell relationship? Brando was a better person? More than that of course. These kind of lists if they are even necessary, should never be numbered. Rolling Stone magazine comes to mind for horrible "lists".

sounds like a lot of assumptions and "he said, she said". And gossip, and speaking ill of the dead. None of this needs to be said.

The Nastiest Demeanors...would be a better description.

Mickey Rooney suffered from "short person behavior". You have to ask yourself; If Kim Carnes has Bette Davis eyes, who's eyes does Bette Davis have?

Sorry can you please clarify this , you post that John Wayne was bad because he spoke bad about Clark Gabel , in you post talking bad about many ? Is there a separate rule for you ? Or did you just forget to add yourself to this post ?

I think that "evil" is somewhat of a misnomer here...unpleasant, abrasive, sulky,& bad tempered does not always equal evil.

Why add Bette Davis to the list if you're only going to list her strengths instead of faults?

Some of them were definitely evil, but some just seemed to be real a$$holes.

Unfortunately, often times mental illness was the reason behind these problems. Jim Carrey has been officially diagnosed with with being bipolar, Lewis probably suffered from the same illness😢😊

Joan's daughter, sadly, looked like her father. Joan hated this. That is why she had the shot beaten outta her by crazed Joan. Very sad indeed.😢

Compared to today's Hollywood, these people are almost virgin saints.
