Blind Item (07/10/2015)
This A-list actress of the Golden Age was so furious that a rival actress won an Oscar over her that she considered ordering a hit. She was that irate. Of course, the proposals were all laughed on and the rival actress retired soon after, anyway.
Who is our A-list actress?
Who is her rival?

Grace Kelly won for Country Girl in 1954 over her rival Judy Garland.
Grace Kelly soon retired at the age of 26 to become the Princess of Monaco.

I am thinking Grace Kelly as well, but don’t know the other actress.

Judy’s then husband and manager Sid Luft was a childhood pal of Bugsy Siegel’s and was allegedly the last person to see him alive before he was gunned down. Luft was also friends with Mickey Cohen who supplied casting couch “talent” to Hollywood moguls (a few of the names who participated in this ritual included Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Jayne Mansfield and a certain Miss Monroe)
Not surprisingly, Judy and Sid’s daughter Lorna omitted any references to her father being involved with the mob in her book Me and My Shadows which was turned into that TV miniseries.
