A young couple in 1932 hoping to make it big in Hollywood. The young man never made it as an actor, but his lookalike brother did, James Cagney. This is William who found success as James’ manager of sorts. He produced a few of his movies including Yankee Doodle Dandy. When he was renegotiating James’s contract with Jack Warner he put in the unique ‘’happiness clause.’’ This meant if James did not feel happy he could refuse to work.
The young lady did make it big. She became a redhead and moved into television when it was still young becoming a legend. It’s Lucille Ball.
Hedy Lamarr and James Stewart attending the races in 1940. Though Hedy was one of the few women in Hollywood Stewart did not have an affair with, they worked together on the romantic comedy “Come Live with Me” (1941) and Lamarr spoke very highly of the actor, describing him as "one of the sweetest men in the world". Later, she recalled a particularly trying period at MGM when she was shooting three films simultaneously, and Stewart stood near the studio lights to read lines to her off-camera.
Helen Mirren once shared a charming detail about her past romance with Liam Neeson: every man she loved received a handmade shirt from her, and Neeson was no exception. Their relationship, which began after they met on the set of Excalibur, quickly grew serious, and the two lived together for four years in the early 1980s.
Mirren has said that she and Neeson cared for each other deeply. They shared a strong bond, full of affection and admiration, even though their paths ultimately led in different directions. As she has reflected, they “were not meant to be together in that way,” but the love between them was very real.
She still speaks of Neeson with warmth, calling him a remarkable man and acknowledging the lasting fondness she feels for him. Neeson, for his part, has admitted he was instantly taken with her, “smitten” from the moment they met.

As Eve Kendall, Saint was elegant, mysterious, romantic and dangerous enough to keep both Grant’s character and the audience guessing.
The movie became one of Hitchcock’s defining works and gave Saint her most famous screen role.
