Help[Games] Old Hollywood Insp. CAF (Part 3)
I've got a long one today, I hope you enjoy it! I'm planning just one more after this.
In 1951, BLANK celebrated her fortieth birthday in Provence, where she had recently renovated a Chateau. She was born a day before Christmas, and wore a beautiful red Dior dress and holly in her hair. The Chateau had four real trees and presents for everyone, including her beloved greyhounds (a boy and a girl, names come from Roman or Greek mythology). BLANK’s gift to herself was a new car (a red Jaguar, a black Cadillac Coupe deVille, or a silver Mercedes Benz).
Taking a short break from acting, BLANK spent her years between France, England, and Italy. On a rainy day in London, she met a striking young woman in gorgeous Chanel ensemble, giggling without a care in the world that she was being soaked through. They ducked into a quiet café and shared cups and cups of tea, and their life stories. BLANK was an up-and-coming singer, known for her soulful rendition of (“Gloomy Sunday”, “We’ll Meet Again”, Goodnight, Sweetheart”, or “Amapola”). She was Senegalese-French, her father having fought for France during WWI in the Senegalese Tirailleurs; her mother was a seamstress from Hauts-de-France who had moved to Paris to work for a reputable modiste. BLANK had never before felt such love for a person, besides her children, and eventually realized her feelings were reciprocated. BLANK and BLANK were well-known amongst “The Sewing Circle”, a group of Old Hollywood actresses who were openly (as openly as one could be at that time) Lesbian and Bisexual. Among them were such greats as Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich (who had long been rumored to have been more than just friends with BLANK), Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, and Katharine Hepburn.
BLANK would go on to move in with BLANK at the chateau in 1953, were they would host lavish parties, filled with champagne and smoke, and the keenest minds of the time-period. No evening would be complete without BLANK accompanying BLANK on the piano as she sung her latest hits. Eventually, BLANK would even adopt five-year-old twin girls, which was quite unusual for the time, and though it couldn’t be said legally, it was known that they raised them together. They were together for six years, until BLANK would lose her beloved father to a long battle with cancer. She needed time alone and moved to London to record a new album. BLANK was heartbroken by her decision but didn’t let it get in the way of supporting her long-time love and their children.

DD3 would become a smoky-voiced chanteuse like her mother, known most popularly for singing the theme song for the James Bond film, BLANK (Your Choice!), in 1973 at twenty-five. She would never marry, but had two long term relationships, one with a French-Algerian model, BLANK, who was the male face of Gucci for over fifteen-years; their relationship lasted from 1972 to 1978. They had a son together. Her most recent is with British art-house director, BLANK. Together, they had a baby girl.

She married her sous-chef and they had four amazing children, who have inherited their parents’ love of food.

Born in 1914, Hildegard Schön was the oldest child of a German immigrant family in Pennsylvania. Although she had yet to dye her hair platinum, she was still striking and had always possessed that doe-like gaze, which later become her trademark. Before fame she worked at textile factory, using her meager paycheck to support her parents. It was on a trip to New York to visit her aunt that she was spotted, soon finding work as a model, and eventually, an actress. Her first big role came in 1935, when she starred in "Berlin, Baby!". Though her name at birth was Hildegard Annemarie Schön, the studios decided to give her something more star-worthy.

Soon after, Della Doe became a household name, starring box-office hit after hit. One of her most memorable roles would be as the seductive Madame Veruschka in the classic noir film "And Only to Tame". In 1940 at age twenty-six, she was married to fellow actor, Roy Wayne, who she met on the set of her 1939 romance film, "Lovers and Secret Admirers". He was eight years her senior. They were the perfect Hollywood couple, her with her perfect blonde curls and willowy figure, him with his dark hair, blue eyes, and smoky baritone. Just seven months after their marriage, Della would give birth to a baby girl, much to the tabloids shock. Only three years later, Della would file for a divorce. The court proceedings were splashed across the news, and filled with every sordid detail, from the mistresses to the drugs and Roy's supposed alcoholism. Despite it all, she would win full custody of her child.

Despite Roselle playing a younger version of her mother's character in "Infamous", she would eventually shun the fast-paced and, in her own words, "shallow" lifestyle of Hollywood. Roselle became a well-respected OB/GYN in New York, and married a pediatrician. After years of resentment between the two, Della and Roselle rekindled their relationship via the birth of Roselle's first child. Now, they maintain a friendship, and spend the holidays together.

In 1951, Wilda celebrated her fortieth birthday in Provence, where she had recently renovated a Chateau. She was born a day before Christmas, and wore a beautiful red Dior dress and holly in her hair. The Chateau had four real trees and presents for everyone, including her beloved greyhounds Acis and Galatea. Wilda’s gift to herself was a new car, a red Jaguar.
Taking a short break from acting, Wilda spent her years between France, England, and Italy. On a rainy day in London, she met a striking young woman in gorgeous Chanel ensemble, giggling without a care in the world that she was being soaked through. They ducked into a quiet café and shared cups and cups of tea, and their life stories. Marie-Angélique was an up-and-coming singer, known for her soulful rendition of "Goodnight, Sweetheart”. She was Senegalese-French, her father having fought for France during WWI in the Senegalese Tirailleurs; her mother was a seamstress from Hauts-de-France who had moved to Paris to work for a reputable modiste. Wilda had never before felt such love for a person, besides her children, and eventually realized her feelings were reciprocated. Wilda and Marie-Angélique were well-known amongst “The Sewing Circle”, a group of Old Hollywood actresses who were openly (as openly as one could be at that time) Lesbian and Bisexual. Among them were such greats as Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich (who had long been rumored to have been more than just friends with Wilda, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, and Katharine Hepburn.
Marie-Angélique would go on to move in with Wilda at the chateau in 1953, were they would host lavish parties, filled with champagne and smoke, and the keenest minds of the time-period. No evening would be complete without Marie-Angélique accompanying Wilda on the piano as she sung her latest hits. Eventually, Marie-Angélique would even adopt five-year-old twin girls, which was quite unusual for the time, and though it couldn’t be said legally, it was known that they raised them together. They were together for six years, until Marie-Angélique would lose her beloved father to a long battle with cancer. She needed time alone and moved to London to record a new album. Wilda was heartbroken by her decision but didn’t let it get in the way of supporting her long-time love and their children.

They were together for six years, until Marie-Angélique would lose her beloved father to a long battle with cancer. She needed time alone and moved to London to record a new album. Wilda was heartbroken by her decision but didn’t let it get in the way of supporting her long-time love and their children.

Born in 1914, Fay Franklin was the oldest child of a German immigrant family in Pennsylvania. Although she had yet to dye her hair platinum, she was still striking and had always possessed that doe-like gaze, which later become her trademark. Before fame she worked at textile factory, using her meager paycheck to support her parents. It was on a trip to New York to visit her aunt that she was spotted, soon finding work as a model, and eventually, an actress. Her first big role came in 1935, when she starred in "Berlin, Baby!". Though her name at birth was Hildegard Schön, the studios decided to give her something more star-worthy.
The name they gave her was Fay Franklin.
