Hedda Hopper had enough self-confidence and good-natured humor to parody herself and the Hollywood studio system in several episodes of "The Beverly Hillbillies" third season To all of the self-righteous red apologists and defenders bashing Hedda , she was more of a woman than most of you guys will ever be.
If Hopper was a conservative and demonized gays, then what was she doing in show business….she was a chorus girl in New York, married a man who had already been married five times. She quickly divorced him. Then she acted in over 150 films, attended every Hollywood party, and then moved on to being a gossip columnist. She lived and worked in the midst of Hollywood where liberal ideas were the norm. She wore outrageous crazy hats. She doesn't sound that conservative to me. Half of show business is gay, and I am sure she knew that. To say that Hopper ruined many careers is an overstatement.
By all accounts she was nasty-Ray Milland described her as a "pathological liar, vicious and unforgiving" people in Hollywood were scared of her-if it were me I would tipped a bucket of slop over her-in public!!
THE CRISTY FERMIN OF THE PHILIPPINES.
We should always speak good of the dead, Hedda Hopper is dead…Good.
We could sure use her now to get rid of the leftist trash that has ruined Hollywood and television in 2022
MALICE in WONDERLAND was a great film sparring Elizabeth 70s as Lolly and Jane Alexander as Hedda. Gave an interesting đ¤ look at their rivalry! Perhaps Hedda applied pressure on Raymond Burr to get Bill cast as Paul Drake on PERRY MASON đ¤? ? đ. If alive, she would likely support The Donald! đ¤Ž
It's amazing how as long as a person makes money off of something, ethics aren't required. No matter whose life you intentionally destroy for profit, the fact that you profited somehow makes it okay to destroy because it's "just business".
What a horrible person
I thought I wanted to be like Hedda Hopper in pursuit of a writing career before I researched her story. No thank you. She was an evil woman.
Hedda Hopper sounds like a vile human. I wonder what made her that way in those days. 1940âs version of our current âcancel cultureâ. But damn, she was a one man career/life wrecking crew!
You wanna know a hot rumor?
Street saying that sheâs burning in hell right now. Ups đĨ
Edda Opper. Oy.
Terrible thing this woman had so much power back then and Hollywood has not disasocciated from this awful human being in a definitive statement.
Her actions still cast a giant shadow over the whole industry.
cancel culture
Is there actually proof that Hedda called the voters of the academy to not vote for Bette? That would take some energy and dedication. I would just like to see some proof to these stories.
She had no substance or heart!
