Dangerous Hollywood: Scandals, Struggles, and Broken Dreams in Hollywood’s Golden Age takes a hard look behind the glitz and glamour of Old Hollywood to tell the real stories of the stars who suffered in silence. In an era where fame was everything, the personal cost was often hidden, until it was too late
Meet Lucille Ricksen, a child actress thrust into the spotlight too soon, whose tragic death at just 14 symbolized the industry’s relentless exploitation of youth. Follow Lila Leeds, a rising starlet whose career was destroyed overnight after her infamous arrest alongside leading man Robert Mitchum. Witness the unraveling of Jean Seberg, the stunning actress targeted by the FBI and driven to despair, and explore the inner turmoil of Gene Tierney, whose beauty masked years of personal tragedy and mental health struggles.
These aren’t just scandals from the past, they’re powerful stories of real women caught in the harsh spotlight of a system that promised fame but often delivered heartbreak. Dangerous Hollywood is a sobering, emotional, and unforgettable journey into the lives of women who were chewed up by a system that promised everything and gave nothing in return.
