I found out I wasn’t related to my Dad in my 30’s, I wasn’t angry but it explained a lot about my different look and how his siblings treated me. I told him I knew but he is always Dad and Grampa and nothing changed. He said I was supposed to go to adoption until mom’s sister called him to come to the hosp because he needed to see this baby and he reluctantly came..I was healthy, pink,strawberry blond w green eyes while my siblings were sickly, jaundiced w dark features..he sat w me in his arms and said ‘so..what are we naming her?’ He was a great dad!

My dad wasn't my bio dad. But he was my Father. I found out at 12

Sadly, I never knew who my biological father was until I was 40! I can't imagine being in the Hollywood spotlight with these issues.

Olson? I heard that twice and it was so confusing! ORSON, ORSON Welles.

Jack Nicholson's story is pretty common. Bobby Darin experienced the same situation. I had great aunts that had a lot of "tumors" and had to leave home to recuperate.

Every person deserves to know who their father is.

When Loretta Young confessed the truth to Judy, she described the encounter as date rape. Considering the time and attitudes about women and sex, it sounds plausible. A lot of men at the time believed that women meant yes when they resisted. Also, as we’ve seen with recent legal cases, powerful men believed that entitled them to whatever or whoever they wanted. It doesn’t make what they did right but considering the attitude at the time nothing would have been done and her reputation would have been ruined.

what about mia farrows son hes is definatly frank sinartras he is even into politics like his dad u can see bit of mom but his face when he smiles too hes franks for sure

I was neighbors with Orson's daughter, Bea for ages. She had a local Christmas store for quite awhile and several times I saw Orson on a visit, he was at the time living in Las Vegas. Bea is still alive as afar as I know, I wonder if she'd be willing for a DNA test.

23 and Me would crack open these mysteries.

How ignorant, to continually call Orson Wells “Olson.” Documentary, a film of facts.

Families and moral values are still a big deal. People acting like they aren't, are what's destroying children and the world

Actually it was a date rape situation with loretta young when they were in call of the wild together.....she had to flee to france to save the baby......there was no affair........loretta told her the truth without the drama implied

So, it's only the woman's fault.

Vivien Leigh said that Clark Gable had incredibly bad breath due to uncleaned dentures. I always think of that now when I see a story about him.

OK ORSON WELLS and Family Didn't Arnold Schwartzer Have a son with Hispanic Housekeeper

Gable and Young STARRED IN A FILM together "Call of the Wild - that's how it started, She even suggested decades later that it was date rape. He pretty much ignored her and his child's entire life. Hardly an affair. They were never a "secret" Hollywood couple

When I was born, from a 16 year old mother and 17 year old father, I was the dirty little secret that everyone knew about except me. First experience was sitting in 9th grade homeroom and the teacher taking roll call, when he got to me he called me my mothers name, twice. It didn't register at first because I wasn't really listening to him, its homeroom, but I looked up and everyone was staring at me so I looked at the teacher and he repeated my mothers name and I responded " A@#$ is my mothers name, I'm Andria". I was raised by my maternal grandmom (forever known as MOM) and would see my mother all the time but I had no idea who she was until I was probably four or five and my mother dumped her two young sons off at MOMs house after leaving her husband (not my father THANK GOD!) and decided to move from NYS to California for six months. After she left my MOM sat myself and the two boys (my half brothers, I had no idea they were actually my brothers) down in my room and she told me "A@#$ is your real mother and are your brothers". I was too young to fully understand what all of that meant and my response was "So does that mean I get to play with the boys all the time?". I have had no real relationship with my mother and even less to nonexistent with my bio father, my MOM took me to the bank he worked at when I was probably six and she spoke to him but I had no idea who he was later when I was working at McDonalds he came through my line and we locked eyes but I still didn't know who he was but after I took his order I turned around and said to a co-worker that "I think I just waited on my father", years later I spoke to him once on the phone to "surprise him" on his birthday and I asked him if he came through my line at McD's? It was him. I've seen photos of him but I've still never met him. Those years at McDs an older couple always use to come in for coffee and breakfast and they said that I looked like my grandmother, my PATERNAL grandmother who had passed giving birth to my father and his twin brother which I didn't know at the time. Later they brought their high school yearbook that I also graduated from, and showed me a picture of my grandmother, it was shocking how much I looked like her. Later I gained access to my high school archives at the school and found the yearbooks for when my mother, father and his twin brother were in school, turned out that most of the teachers and the principal were teachers when my bio parents were in school and the school secretary when to school with both of my parents. Everyone knew I was the ba$tard child and gossiped about me. Also turns out that the parents of one of my "friends" also went to school with my bio parents and one day my "friend" walked up to me and said "I know who your father is but I'm not going to tell you." Sometimes being the "dirty little secret" is a bitch!!!

Why did't these people just tell their children the truth it just is not fair to these children I did not meet my father till I was 21 all this really hurts people. And the kids did nothing!!!!! Cheri

Thru our history people were so hypocritical..everyone sleeping with everyone..

Ingmar Bergman never hid the fact that her children were born her twin daughters were born out of wedlock. In fact, there was no secret to that. It was literally an open secret and considering that she was Swedish to boot nobody thought twice of it, so how is it a big secret?

Clark Gable "took" Loretta Lynn (e.g., against her will) during the filming of "The Call of the Wild." Love had nothing to do with it.

Olson? Did you forget you were talking about Orsen Wells?

Jud Lewis said that when her mother admitted the truth, she was angry and called Judy “a walking mortal sin.”

Not only do I still suspect that Lindsay-Hogg is Orson Welles's kid, take a took at actor Tim McIntire. He is ostensibly the son of actor John McIntire, but his resemblance to Welles is uncanny.

At a time when “ morals were a big deal” 🤣

Michael Hogg looks like Orson Wells

You need to give up making documentaries and stay with fiction.

DNA.....wrap it up

Loretta Young had her daughter’s ears fixed because they looked like Gables’

Jack reminds me of a lunatic. Creepy.

A lot of these documentaries have poorly read commentary. I want a job reading the information for these. Calling Orson Wells 'Olson"???

Geraldine Fitzgerald still captivates. And did many better films than those mentioned.

“At a time when morals and family values were a big deal” and the fact that the world is shittier today shows why those values mean something.

Some things are just hereditary such as Jack Nicholson grew to be just like his Dad. He may be a great actor but a poor excuse for a man who goes around making babies but not being their father.

you mean actors are human? well what do you know!!

Who the hell is that woman singing that you keep flashing on the screen? It certainly isn't Geraldine Fitzgerald.

Orson .a legend

Isabella is one of the most beautiful people ever!! A true mini-me of her mother and a beautiful person!

What a mess of a video.

Just adding that biology and sperm do not a father make! To be raised with love by a daddy (not sharing your dna) is unconditional love at its best! Yes, curiosity to see and know ‘who’ bio daddy is can throw a curve but hardly devastation if the child/parent (non bio) relationship was healthy. This is why adoption of newborns or very young children who knew the constancy of being loved from the beginning, works!!!! ❤️

I Don't See How He Got Any "Closure". Where's The PROOF?

Hogg looked like wells when he was young, but nothing like him as he got older.

Loretta Young said it was rape, I believe

Olson? I thought it was Orson Welles? Judy Lewis looked like her mother, by the mid 70s, it was obvious. I think Judy was the only one in the dark, because the public could tell who her mama was. It was no secret about Rossilini, and it was why her mother left Hollywood. Being called adulteress was true, so I'm not sure why anyone thinks it was mean. She was married, and had an affair, but she dealt with it, and did not disgrace her children. Where people went wrong, was in treating children as if something was wrong with them. Lying to children is never a good idea. Any shame belongs squarely on the shoulders of the adults.,

Spilling that seed.

Judy Lewis was so pretty!

Clark had really bad breath.

I have a cousin or great uncle, depending what you believe. My dad swore up and down that he was actually his aunts son, not his great grandparents.

Isnt that orson wells? Never heard of olsen.

My birth fathers 1st cousin is adamant that his famous cousin didn’t father any other children. I have done my DNA with Ancestry, and have people in my DNA match list, that are DNA related to me, because of my birth father.

Gable/Young wasn’t a ‘love affair’ it was date rape! Young went head first into religion out of guilt and Gable stayed away out of guilt-he only saw Judy twice in her life..if it was ‘love’ there wouldn’t be guilt but keeping Judy out of the spotlight was great considering what his son and grandchildren, with their drug habits, are going thru. and it’s ORson not OLson

I believe Jack Nicholson was Henry Fonda’s love child.

Olsen?

Gable and Young's parts crossed, alright

My Dad wasn’t my bio father, to which I’m grateful. My Dad raised me, cared for me and taught me. That other guy was a guy, my Mom said she met at a party she shouldn’t have been at.

wrong picture of Randall Mc Murphy.

Who is Olsen? Does he mean Orson?

Who is Olsen/Olson ?

5:47 just might be Joan Crawford

Clark Gable SAd Loretta Young. That is well known. Get it right.

😂😂😂indelible

Judy Lewis wrote that when her mother found out what "date rape" was, she, Loretta Young, told Judy that her conception had happened as a result of that happening with Gable. Not so sure that it was that much of an affair but perhaps something else.

un….Isabella Rossellini?

Son of Orson Welles... WHEN????? WHEN???? You don't give us ANY dates or timeline. Not even a clue! So he did some stuff with the Beatles and .. how old was he? When was he born? Is he still alive? How old is he? God damn, talk about half-assed history.

I don't think I'd hang my genealogical hat on Gloria Vanderbilt's honesty or knowledge - get a DNA test

I prefer "love child" over ILLEGITIMATE ❗

Orson Wells not Olsen.

ICON/ LEGEND/ NATIONAL TREASURE🎉🎉🎉🎉 JACK NICHOLSEN

It was a bomb nation!! It was a trajesty!! It was a Kardrastophy!!😮😅😊

Sadly, they were all at it in the golden age of the cinema, they all had morals of alleycat. They were all sleeping with each other, and then also sleeping with the same sex , was absolutely disgusting. The image portrayed was that of which the movie moguls wanted to portray, but the reality was actually very disgusting, have watched enough documentaries to last me, a lifetime to see how bad they all were.Even the heads of the studios were booking women who got pregnant, to get abortions. It was a common thing, and they were just told that so-and-so is going away for a rest as an actual fact they were going off to have abortions once twice even three times and it’s really sad.

It's amazing how these immoral people manage to screw up their own lives and the lives of others. They leave a trail of chaos.

Not sure many women could have resisted Clark back then. You forgot Witches of Eastwick.

Maybe Jack Nicholson's acting skills have more to do with the fact that he has been a little off the beam from the get go.

poor Ingrid 😢

Ingred Bergman female actress I think that's who you mean maybe your got confused 🤔

I find it odd that you said ...when morals and family values were a big deal. This is not true affairs, mistresses and trysts have been going on for ages. The only difference back then in Hollywood was telecommunication. They were famous stars who were visible across the world and suppose to be held to high standards to hold on to their careers. Today with Iphones if a star sneezes they know 2 minutes later. Let alone have a child.

Bot bot bot

Why didn't Allegra's biological father step up and raise her? He must have been a real scumbag.

Hey hilikeit

I always thought most movie stars were mostly ally cats.

Amazing what the women were put through. But whenever the men are discussed (not just here) it's almost something impish with a twinkle in their eye. For the same acts.

It's ORSON, not Olson.

Whoever the narrator is, she’s not even pronouncing Orson Wells’s name correctly. He keeps calling him, Olsen..

Likeit

My dad had one of those love children.

None of these people look like just a clump of cells. They had a right to life.

A young woman working closely on a daily basis for months at a time with some of the most handsome and charismatic men in the world? Why not enjoy them?

Orson! Not Olsen. And I don’t believe that video of a singer you keep showing is Geraldine Fitzgerald at all.

Mean things would you want someone having an affair with your spouse

Clark gable set his will so that any illegitimate child would receive only $1. The law in California, at that time, allowed that.

If you can’t get the name “Orson” Wells right then your entire video has no credibility.

Scuzzy sensationalism -- and it isn't even accurate. There are so many errors in this video. For instance, "Poltergeist 2" was not a film Geraldine Fitzgerald made during the golden age of Hollywood. Ingrid Bergman hadn't just "transitioned into Hollywood and started making waves" when she took up with Roberto Rossellini. It all happened 10 or 15 years after she became an A-list star. This is typical of this poorly-researched regurgitation of who-cares stories.

Hi

Frankly, Loretta‘s daughter is still kind of questionable no matter how you look at it there was no DNA test and she could’ve confronted her biological father at any point before his death asked him for recognition she might’ve gotten a verbal recognition but that’s all she would’ve gotten at least it would’ve been something the fact is it’s here say, all of it is here say.

Point of interest of course Jack Nicksonwas his mother, yet I don't believe it's mentioned her father was the one who got her pregnant. Plus they don't mention the movie China Town where Jack played a character finding his birth parents.

I saw a man, John Ford but younger by twenty years or more. Shame. I was told he was with a hired escort.🍷I would think he would have learned not to trifle.

This presentation is as cheesy as it gets lolol

😅user things were very different inthose days. People were supposed to live a clean and moral live. Seving God, going to church every sunday.

So who ever wrote this twaddle suggests Only "normal" families can produce talented SUCCESSFUL children and a "Not so normal" family is something that has to be over come! Well alrighty then!
