HOLLYWOOD'S DARK HEARTTHROB PUBLICLY INSULTED MARILYN MONROE, AND PRIVATELY GOT HER PREGNANT |
Tony Curtis grew up as Bernard Schwartz, a poor kid from the Bronx whose family was so broke they once had to send him to an orphanage just to survive. He clawed his way out through sheer looks and charm, transforming himself into one of Hollywood's most desired leading men. |
Long before he became a star, Curtis dated a then-unknown actress named Marilyn Monroe. They spent lazy days having barbecues on the beach together, two young hopefuls with no idea what fame would eventually do to either of them. |
Years later, they reunited on the set of Some Like It Hot, one of the biggest films of Curtis's career. |
By then, Monroe was in the midst of a personal breakdown, often refusing to leave her trailer and breaking down in tears before scenes. When it came time to film a kissing scene between them, Curtis cruelly told reporters he'd "rather be kissing Hitler." |
The public insult became legendary, painting Monroe as difficult and Curtis as the exasperated professional forced to work with her. |
But decades later, in his own 2009 memoir, Curtis revealed something the world never expected. |
The two had secretly carried on an affair during filming. And according to Curtis, Monroe became pregnant with his child, a pregnancy she ultimately lost, just like so many others in her tragic reproductive history. |
But Monroe was only the first. What Curtis did to the six women he actually married was far darker than anything that happened on that film set. |

CHINA'S MOST GLAMOROUS SOCIALITE SPENT A DECADE HIDDEN FROM HER OWN HUSBAND'S FAMILY |
Hui-Lan Koo was born into staggering wealth in 1889, the daughter of a businessman so rich that people called him "the Rockefeller of China." |
As a girl, she wore an 80-karat diamond necklace before she could even hold her own head up. She had European tutors, learned multiple languages, and traveled to London for the finest fashion money could buy. |
At just 19, her family arranged her marriage to Beauchamp Caulfield-Stoker, a British consular agent nearly two decades older than her. The union looked more like a business transaction than a romance, and Hui-Lan moved with him to England, ready to become the toast of London society. |
And she succeeded wildly. She flew planes when almost no woman dared. She raced through the streets in her own grey Rolls-Royce. She rubbed shoulders with the era's most glamorous names, and people called her "Lady Stoker." |
But her husband hated every second of it. |
Caulfield-Stoker resented the confident, dazzling woman his sheltered teenage bride had become. He grew distant, then cruel, taking a military commission largely to put an ocean between them. When he did come home, he insisted on sleeping in a separate bedroom. |
For the entire decade they were married, he never once introduced Hui-Lan to his own family. |
But when the marriage finally ended, what Caulfield-Stoker took from her was far worse than a decade of silence. |
