What did these silver screen sirens have in common, other than their classic good looks and talent? A naughty streak, of course.

She was just a blue-eyed beauty with a sugar-sweet smile when she scored her first big role in “National Velvet” at the age of 12, but by 16 Liz was wowing viewers with her powerful sensuality. And as her roles got hotter, so did her off-screen romances. The bombshell had seven different husbands, two of whom were married when she came into the picture—one to Debbie Reynolds, her best friend.
She may be remembered as a rainbow-chasing sweetheart with the voice of an angel, but Judy was far less innocent off-screen. She developed an addiction to drugs and alcohol, dug herself into financial troubles and got divorced four times before tragically passing away at just 47 years old.
Though she’s possibly the most iconic sex symbol of all time, many of Marilyn’s roles made her out to be an oblivious, ditsy blonde. But Marilyn was no fool in real life—she broke the heart of New York Yankees great Joe DiMaggio and allegedly had steamy affairs before meeting her tragic demise.
When Ava entered showbiz and met future ex-husband Mickey Rooney, she was just a small-town girl with an innocent past (it was widely reported that she was a virgin on their wedding night). But she’s been quoted saying she “caught on very quickly,” and the evidence doesn’t lie—she went on to be the reason Frank Sinatra left his wife.
She may exude old Hollywood glamour, but Lana was known to kiss and tell—and often. She eloped with her first husband, bandleader Artie Shaw, on their first date when she was 19, and went on to marry seven more times after that.
Ingrid brought with her from Sweden her Nordic good looks and every man’s vision of the American Dream, but her dream marriage to dentist Peter Aron Lindstrom fell short when she cheated with her director, Roberto Rossellini, and found out she was pregnant with his son.

This pin-up girl’s looks alone gave countless soldiers motivation to make it home from World War II. But behind the scenes she had a tumultuous relationship with Columbia Pictures, married a man more than twice her age at just 18 years old (and went on to divorce him and four others), and struggled with alcoholism.
Though Sophia’s smoldering Italian genes and sexy wardrobe were enough to make men eat their hearts out, she had no choice but to, um, expose her true bad girl self when nude photos of her started popping up on 76 different adult sites across the Internet.
The ‘40s bombshell with the “million dollar legs”—yes, her stems were insured by her studio for that whopping amount—liked to pal around with fellow bad girl Marilyn Monroe and had a troubled marriage with swing band leader Henry Haag James, reportedly due to infidelity and alcoholism.
This femme fatale reportedly aspired to be an exotic dancer before she became an actress, but it’s her beliefs that really have sparked controversy—she wrote a book on the Islamification of France, was convicted for “inciting racial hatred” and publicly insulted 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Natalie launched her acting career as an adorable tot in “Miracle on 34th Street” and went on to woo audiences with her pure talent and womanly charm in “Rebel Without a Cause” and “West Side Story,” but her adult life was plagued by troubled relationships and alcohol, until a boozy boat ride sealed her fate.

You can’t help but be moved by the tragic life of actress Gene Tierney. Though endowed with astonishing beauty and talent that won her early fame, a series of misfortunes would eventually bring her to the brink of suicide. The daughter of a successful insurance broker, Gene had a privileged upbringing. By the time she reached her late teens, she was already a head-turner pursuing an acting career. Starting on Broadway, she was soon spotted by Hollywood mogul Darryl Zanuck, who put her under contract to Twentieth Century Fox. At twenty, she had her first featured role, in Fritz Lang’s “The Return Of Frank James” (1940). She seemed to jump right off the screen. By 1943, she was co-starring opposite Don Ameche in Ernst Lubitsch’s “ Heaven Can Wait .”
The following year brought the role with which she'd become most identified: Otto Preminger’s “ Laura ,” still one of the greatest mysteries ever filmed, had Gene playing a gorgeous young career woman who miraculously re-appears after everyone believes she’s been murdered. 1945 would then net the sizzling hot actress her one and only Oscar nod for “Leave Her To Heaven,” with Gene portraying a possessive socialite with homocidal tendencies. More films — good and great — followed, but her messy personal life was beginning to encroach on her work. She’d married playboy designer Oleg Cassini in 1941 and their union was tumultuous. They divorced once (in 1948), re-united, then split up for good in 1952.
Worse yet, Gene had contracted rubella from a fan while pregnant with her first child. When Daria Cassini was born in 1943, she was deaf and severely mentally handicapped. (She and Cassini would also have a second daughter, Christina, born in 1948.) The collapse of her marriage put Tierney over the edge, and she had to withdraw from the cast of 1953’s “Mogambo”; her part went to up-and-comer Grace Kelly. By the time she made “The Left Hand Of God” opposite Humphrey Bogart in 1955, Gene's fragile emotional state made it difficult to remember her lines. Bogie tried to help her on-set, but counseled her privately to seek help.
Unfortunately, she got the wrong kind of help, submitting to a series of shock treatments that would severely impair her memory. In 1957, Gene reached her nadir when she had to be talked off the ledge of her mother’s apartment building, fourteen floors up. A lengthy stay at the Menninger Clinic in Kansas followed. With her mental health finally stabilized by the early ‘60s, she made a brief comeback but retired from films shortly thereafter. She’d married oilman W. Howard Lee in 1960 (who’d been previously wed to Hedy Lamarr!), and they moved to Texas. Gene outlived her second husband by ten years, dying in Houston of emphysema in 1991. In yet another regrettable twist, she’d only taken up smoking a half-century earlier to make her on-screen voice sound huskier.
Though fate wasn’t kind to Gene Tierney, it was to her many fans, who will forever appreciate her hypnotic allure in timeless movies like “Laura”, and so many others. We love you, Gene. How could we not?

Renowned ladies’ man Kirk Douglas wasn’t prepared to dish on his sexual exploits during his appearance on the Dick Cavett show in 1971 to hawk his latest movie, “A Gunfight.”
But Cavett, a sly night-show host, knew viewers weren’t interested in Douglas’ new Western. They wanted to know if the very married hunk was bedding all those gorgeous Hollywood actresses.
Was he fooling around with Faye Dunaway on the set of “The Arrangement”? What about Kim Novak?
Cavett told him that ABC had compiled a film of all “the incredible number of women that have passed through your hands” — and he directed the actor to watch a series of clips of himself romancing co-stars Lana Turner in “The Bad and the Beautiful,” Jean Simmons in “Spartacus,” Ava Gardner in “Seven Days in May” — and, of course, Dunaway.
“(Alfred) Hitchcock said in an interview once that it’s very hard for the romance on screen not to carry over into the private lives of the actors,” Cavett said coyly. “Have you found this true?”
Douglas thumped in anger, “An actor is supposed to immerse himself in the role!”
At the time, Douglas — who turns 100 years old on Friday — was the biggest star on the planet, with a range that blew away audiences, whether he was wielding a sword against the Romans as “Spartacus” or crying in anguish as Vincent van Gogh in “Lust for Life.”
He didn’t have to answer to Cavett — or anyone, for that matter.
It would be another two decades before the man who still commands a standing ovation when he enters a room would finally admit to his infidelities.
In a titillating autobiography written when he was 71, Douglas admitted that he’d not only cheated on his first wife, Diana Dill — with whom he had two sons, including mega-star Michael Douglas — but he also messed around on his current wife, Anne Bydens , who gave him another two sons.
Before the marriages, and in between, the man born Issur Danielovitch to a poor Jewish family in Amsterdam, NY, was unquenchable.
“I’m a sonofabitch, plain and simple,” he admitted in his 1988 autobiography, “ The Ragman’s Son .”
Douglas opened his little black book and ticked off some of the greatest names to grace the silver screen.
The actor kissed and told on Crawford, Linda Darnell, Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth, Evelyn Keyes, Marilyn Maxwell, Patricia Neal, Ann Sothern and Gene Tierney.
“As I look back, I realize that somehow I was attracted to women who were neurotic,” he said.
It began with his English teacher, a Mrs. Livingston, who seduced him when he was 14, he said.
A few years later as he struggled to become an actor, he enrolled at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and his eyes fell on a sultry blond woman named Betty Bacall.
Douglas said Bacall, who would later change her first name to Lauren, teased the impoverished student about the shabby, oversize overcoat he wore — so she got him a new one.
“I was always touched by that act,” wrote Douglas. “And how did I repay her? One warm spring evening on a rooftop in Greenwich Village I tried to seduce her. Unsuccessfully. As far as I’m concerned, Lauren Bacall can do no wrong.’’
The thrice-Oscar-nominated actor was no gentleman, however, when he tucked into a tale about the night he spent with “Mildred Pierce” actress Joan Crawford, who would also later be trashed by her adopted daughter, Christina Crawford, in her book, “Mommie Dearest.”
He went out with Crawford just once, he said — and never called her again.
Crawford played an innocent flirt throughout their dinner, he said. But the instant the front door of her Hollywood mansion closed behind them, she tore off her dress, flung it aside and grappled Douglas to the foyer floor.
Douglas said Crawford’s move was too aggressive to be exciting, and when they were doing the deed, he noticed her bad breath.
Afterward, Crawford, a famous dirt-a-phobe, took him on a tour of the multi-level home, where Douglas noticed how immaculate it was.
“She took me upstairs and proudly showed me the two children — how they were strapped so tightly to their beds, how she diapered them so efficiently. It was so professional, clinical, lacking in warmth, like the sex we had just had.”
Another one of Douglas’ conquests was gorgeous redhead Rita Hayworth. Douglas said he found the star “beautiful, but very simple, unsophisticated.’’
She would tell him, “Men go to bed with ‘Gilda’ [her famous 1946 title role], but they wake up with me.’’ Douglas wrote, “I felt something deep within her that I couldn’t help — loneliness, sadness — something that would pull me down; I had to get away.’’
To him, Hayworth was a fantasy created by Hollywood, like Marilyn Monroe. On the screen, Douglas said, Monroe was “the sexiest woman in the world. In real life she was blah. And always late.’’
One of his favorite conquests was Gene Tierney, known for her icy, Oscar-nominated sociopath performance in “Leave Her to Heaven.”
Douglas dished about some of Tierney’s odd habits — including insisting that he visit her by climbing into the window of her Hollywood home and mount her when she wasn’t expecting it.
“Maybe it was an aphrodisiac,’’ Douglas wrote. “I didn’t question it. Mine was not to question why; mine was just to get through that window.’’
Then there was the affair with Patricia Neal.
In her own memoir, the Oscar-winning actress wrote of the love affair she had with married leading man Gary Cooper.
When it came to sex, Douglas admits he looked at it as if he were on a big game safari in Africa.
But Douglas rounded out the picture: Neal was having an affair with him at the same time.
Douglas said Neal was in love with Cooper and would “cry” during their trysts because she was being unfaithful to the “High Noon” actor.
Sexy brunette Ava Gardner’s beauty took his breath away.
Douglas remembered staying at a hotel one night when he was awakened by a knocking. He opened the door to find the distraught actress.
Although Douglas had dated her a few times and found her “a wonderful country girl who was cursed by being too beautiful,’’ now she scared him because she was dating the tumultuous Frank Sinatra.
“They must have had one of their usual explosions and she rushed out,’’ wrote Douglas. “It was about 2 o’clock in the morning.
“She didn’t know where to go and ended up at my door. . . . She was quite upset and we chatted for about 10 minutes. She calmed down. She sighed, and got up. I walked her to the door, kissed her on the cheek and she left. No mention was ever made of her nocturnal visit.’’
When it came to sex, Douglas admits he looked at it as if he were on a big game safari in Africa.
“I looked at something and BANG! I had total control. I enjoyed [killing]; the Masai gave me a shield and a spear and called me Killer Douglas.”
In fact, he said he once used sex to punish a woman he knew was an anti-Semite.
He said he took the woman to bed, keeping the fact he was Jewish a secret until the climatic moment, when he screamed:
“I am a Jew! You are being f— by a Jew!”
