Get ready to uncover the dark stories of the 20 Most Evil Actors in Hollywood History, as chosen by you, right here on our channel.
Let the countdown begin.
Evil is an unfair adjective for this video
Thank you
Agreed
Bing Crosby was narcissistic or psychopathic, that is why he had no loving feelings or empathy towards his children
Right! 3:53 I’m at this point ;wondering where is the evil?
I agree - flawed, yes, but evil? Overblown.
Evil? I don’t think that word means what you think it means
Princess Bride reference 🤔
evil: "actor was mean to me on set, and dated someone younger than them :("
@@dustinprewitt Ha!
What a silly title
In my opinon. Davis gets a bad wrap. She took no BS from people and stood up for herself in an era where women were not supposed to do that. 99% of the stories are told by people who tried to screw her over and didnt
She supported black people when others never took a stand. She was the real deal.
Other stars did not support black troops in entertaining them…she did!
This is a crap video.👎
@@marksheppard6498 she did. They wanted to separate the blacks at the Hollywood canteen. She told them. No. All these men serve this country and deserve that respect
@@HollyCranfan
So true. And she took a stand when it wasn’t “trendy “ to do so. That’s real conviction,because she had a lot to lose.
your comment is a logical fallacy. Not suffering fools gladly is not the same as being rude and volitile. Also, just because people tried to 'screw her over' does not mean that what they said about her is not correct.
Evil? Elizabeth Taylor? Her work for Aids was legendary.
Eddie Fisher is one example
@@marelicainavokado I didn't know he had Aids.
@@annettemurielle she was a homewrecker who took her pain out on her best friend Debbie Reynolds. That doesn’t make her “evil,” but it definitely calls into question her judgment.
@@davidpar2 Agreed...and at the time she was vulnerable, and I suspect Eddie made the most of the opportunity. In the end, she and Debbie worked out the issues and looked at things more pragmatically--as did Carrie Fisher, because it obviously involved her as well. In the end Taylor was a very loyal friend who supported her friends, even when it could have cost her much professionally.
@@davidpar2 She was a vulnerable woman who lost, suddenly, her husband whom she absolutely adored. She turned to their best friends and Fisher decided to leave his wife and family to be with his best friend's wife. To be charitable, I think they were seeking solace in one an other but quickly realized that wasn't enough to sustain a marriage.
Interesting that you see Eddie as a victim. He's the one who chose to leave his family. Yes, Debbie did nothing to deserve her husband abandoning her, but a man like that would have done it sooner or later. Clearly commitment didn't mean that much to him, nor did is wife or his children.
I think you need to look up the definition of "evil." "You keep using the word. I don't think it means what you think it means."
Too bad murder victim Jean Spangler didnt live to tell the truth about what she knew about Kirk Douglas.
How could you miss out on Woody Allen? He might be worse than anyone else on this list!
Just ask Mia Farrow!!
Yeah, none of these people qualify for sainthood but "evil" is over the top.
Wait a minute! Bing Crosby used to beat the heck out of his children! He was abusive as hell. But all he gets is, "He was very reserved." Seriously?! I clicked off the video after that.
Exactly and according to actress Mamie van doren he was a jerk to Dorothy lamaur Mamie is super sweet I follow her on Twitter and Bob hope was no better to dorothy
@@erinmefford8041hasn’t Dorothy lamour passed away?
Elizabeth Taylor had many husbands. How the hell is that evil?
Agreed. Maybe she was a person who had trouble finding personal happiness, but that is not evil at all.
I agree with you.
]]pp]]p
She did steal a husband. In the end, Debbie was glad to get rid of him.
I read once that she would not sleep with anyone, unless she was married. That explains her many husbands.
Your bar for 'evil' is pretty low. It borders on slander actually.
Typical of the postmodern 2020s, in which few words are used with valid meaning
Bette Davis wasn't evil, she was a strong woman in a very tough industry. As far as her having a Coca Cola machine brought onto the set of Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, that was after Joan Crawford had brought Pepsi to the set because her husband was a Pepsi executive. Bette was an associate producer on Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.
She brought a coke machine to the set of Baby Jane. Joan was originally cast for Sweet Charlotte but quite so Bette got her good friend Olivia de Havilland to replace her.
Exactly!! While I didn't care for Bette Davis' movies, I detested Joan Crawford and what she did to two of her kids. Bette Davis was a strong woman who knew what she wanted and did what she could to achieve it. She is to be admired!
@@cathyjacobs you have to love the modern days trend to call rude people strong, raw, real and so. As if people who are tactful and respectful, do not use faul language, do not scream and have good manners are fake, liars and weak.
@@snownoir761Because Joan was connected with Pepsi.
If it’s “evil” not to go around “expressing your emotions” then you have bigger issues. Pray the day we can stop expressing our emotions all day!
Postmodern dystopia. Emotional incontinence: Good. Self-control: Bad. 😆🤡
@@davidpar2 Self control for what purpose? Wondering why is a good thing....until you get to the children.
This is probably enlightening, but it's one character assassination after another.
it is not all untrue...
that's the generation we live in now.
@@jannepetersen4660 Yes, it is. These muckrakers know nothing. Take it from a retired SAG/AFTRA actor - Actor's Studio member.
These actors had troubled lives and were human. What I heard here, does not indicate "evil" to me. Evil is something that has no morals or does not have any desire for doing right. I do not think that these people can be described as that. Where did this list come from??
Absolutely. What is "evil" about them?! Elizabeth Taylor stood up for AIDS patients when nobody else did.
I agree~ I heard the first story and knew that "evil" was click bait~ Bing Crosby wasn't evil just a struggling parent ~ I am sure he did his best to raise his kids.
I agree, confusing "evil" with addictions and mental problems...
I'm out by number 2 for this reason
Mickey Rooney is horrible but I love his movies
Clark Gable was also a war hero and he fought against racism....
He made training films.
Nothing evil here.
Amazing enough people like Gable and Tyrone Power were said not to be conceited...@@robbiejohn91368
He also r@ped Loretta Young. That ranks as evil.
Liz was a diva not evil she had good heart
People said she was sweet to all cast and crew
Liz Taylor was a very sensitive and vulnerable woman who has exploited from a very young age on. Later in life she started to fight for herself, but always stayed classy and a real nice person.
She stole her best friend’s husband! Sensitive? Really? And that’s not the only marriage she broke. She was good looking, but was a mediocre actress. And that voice was grating. Be honest, she went far cos of her looks, not her talent.
She was a good actress watch "Who's Afraid Of Virgina Wolfe"@@user-fq8rs7rz3i
@@user-fq8rs7rz3i actually, her voice wasn't grating at all. It was rather soothing and pleasant. And she was very down to earth in person. No snobbery. That's why my autistic son became very close to her and her family. He spent many a weekend staying with them at their cabin at Twin Lakes as their guest.
Bette Davis is an icon
and a overrated B
She was certainly brilliant in her day.
Ah yes. Back when women who refused to be doormats were demonized. While men who belittled, abused and assaulted women were seen as perfectly normal or at most "misunderstood". It's disgusting how you can excuse men's awful behavior but call women out if they have a problem with anything.
Being a snob is not evil.
But its not good.
Whoa...whoa...evil?! How does being a complex person, with an intense personality make them an evil person!? I get it, you guys are all about selling news...but dang calling someone an evil based person is taking this to far. Their human beings struggling with being so freaken perfect. So their temperamental, arrogant, and selfish. This selfish empowerment was made by the demand of others in being what was expected from them..the blame is not totally their fault but a combination of all who interacted with.
I agree.
Very well said.
RIGHT?
@@kiajulian4619 it's not a matter of who is right or wrong, it's opinion based on many factors. Life it's self, a person's character, their abilities and much, much more that forms opinions. Not who's right.
welcome to the snowflake generation.
Chaplin and Flynn were debauched. That makes them sickening, not evil. And don’t forget people put up with their crap because of the box office. Now that could be evil, couldn’t it?
They were Pedophiles.
I lived in LA in the 90s and was friends with Faye Dunaway's then personal assistant. She used to say about her, "Mommy Dearest? NOT acting."
Mickey Rooney had "short guy's syndrome." That's when a short guy becomes an S.O.B. and a bully to compensate for being seen as small. Of course when the short guy manages to become succesful and rich, it becomes even easier to be an S.O.B. 😮
Yeah, Short guys suffer microaggressions all the time from other guys. Leslie Jordon was an example of the opposite I think.
🤔 I would not call most of these actors 😈 evil excatly .over - paid, privileged ,over - rated yes !!.
I agree. Evil is Charles Manson and his ilk.
I agree. Definitely overrated.
From everything I've heard, Mickey Rooney was a real POS, but it's hardly fair to blame him for his role as Mr. Yunioshi in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". That's more than a little ridiculous.
The director decides who makes the decision on which actor he/she wants in the spot. Yes, the actor has to audition but the director says yes/no.
“One of Hollywood’s 20 most evil actors” because he played Yunioshi? LOL that’s pathetic
I made the mistake of reading his autobiography. What a whiner. He was just selfish.
Will you leave Jimmy Stewart alone people. Nobody is perfect but Jimmy was a talented actor and a war hero. Most of these actors deserve to be on the list. You don't have Jerry Lewis on this list but you have Jimmy Stewart???? If fact I'm unscribing from this site in protest over disrespecting Jimmy Stewart. BS site.
You’re absolutely correct. I’m appalled that Jimmy Stewart’s name was trashed.
Ano he was a really kind good guy who loved his wife never let Hollywood change him should defo not be hear
And we are all going to miss you. Not. Bye Bye
@@PatrickLisherness
😂😂😂
This is not an airport, you don't have to announce, your departure. Farewell, Karen, 👋🏻
Wow you sure use the word “evil” lightly! You are wildly off including Stewart. And you don’t give hardly any viable reasons for including the other ones either. Even when I agree with your choices, you do not make your case for “evil”! I see that many others agree with me too! Have you changed your mind, reading all the comments?
Never mix an actor woth thier charecters . If an actor plays a nice guy/girl role, that doesn't mean they're nice people .
I enjoyed Milton Berle as a kid. I guess some his humor was pretty juvenile, but fun.
This is mostly slanted bull shit.....now make one about the good things they did example
Bette Davis and John Garfield founded "The Hollywood Canteen".....where soldiers were fed entertained and could dance with starlets for free.....hob nob with the famous.....a big thrill for soldiers during WW 2
I believe they mentioned Bette Davis and the Hollywood Canteen.
I wouldn't say any of the actors you mention were evil, they were just pains in the arse.
OK, you totally went off of the rails when you said that Tracy & Hepburn kept their affair "secret".
As a young, very sheltered kid, I knew that they were an item. Everyone did.
However, kudos to her for admitting that women couldn't have a cateer and be a present and effective mother and that it wasn't fair air to children for the mother to pursue a career.
She was a stanch feminist. But, she was very honest. When the children aren't the main focus of a mother, they suffer.
And I furthermore credit her for staying away from the funeral of Spencer Tracy. She was Absolutely correct in her admission that his wife and children deserved their place of prominence at his funeral. For her to show up would have been classless and cruel.
That is the difference between today and yesteryear. The progressives of 40 years ago had class and told the truth whether it was popular or not. They might have been way left of conservatives but they didn't sell their soul on the altar of virtue signaling
Jerry Lewis should have been # 1 on this list. I think he even admitted he was a SOB.
Henry's wives at least two of them cheated on him. And the mental health problems of Margaret Sullavan and Frances Fonda were not his fault. I read his biography and let me tell you all those people criticizing him aren't that nice either.
Henry may or may not have been evil but his daughter "Hanoi Jane" has blood on her hands due to the POW men she Killed due to her own actions! No one can say well she didn't mean it, the vile look she gave those men proved just how evil this woman really is!!
Did they say Lucy ball was the love of his life,! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@terry4137 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣As far as I know his last wife Shirlee was. He dated Lucy a few times and said had he continued it might have been Henrylu instead of Desilu. I guess that made her the love of his life.😂😂😂😂🤪
This is just wrong.
I wouldnt call most of these actors "evil". As an actor gets more known and in demand, yes they do earn the right to be demanding. Look at Taylor. She did NOT want to do Cleopatra. She thought that depicting a 16 year old girl was rediculous. So she playfully said "tell them ill do it for a million dollars" not thinking theyd accept. That was a rediculous amount of money for doing one film. Esp a woman. Well they did accept and so she did it. By the time the movie was finished, she got 7 million out of the deal.
Yep, and the film bombed. They should’ve stuck with Joan Collins, she was much the better actress.
It was blood money. The studio got over 3 million in insurance when Monroe passed.
They used that to pay Liz. Monroe was filming a movie that would have been better than Cleopatra.
@HollyCranfan The movie was "Somethings got to give". She died while in filming. Dean Martin refused to finish the film without Monroe so they shut the picture down. It would have been another cute rom/com and hardly better than Cleopatra.
@HollyCranfan Were you their book keeper? How do you know what money went where? Just sounds like another nonsense conspiracy.
@@user-fq8rs7rz3i I know. It took them 7 years to make money off the film.
Am I high or did I miss Joan Crawford?
What a bunch of crap. This is not evil. If you think it is then the issue is you.
I used to talk with Margaret O'Brien. She said that, on the set of "Bad Bascombe" when she was a child, Wallace Beery used to pinch her really hard, regardless of how many times he was asked to stop. There's teasing and then there's mean abuse. He perpetrated the latter. I used to have some personal photos taken on the set of the movie, but I sold them on eBay years ago.
OK, is there a different standard for "evil" among classic actors? You have a list of people who seem strong and focused on their careers. For that, you have labeled them evil. Instead of putting people who have killed people or committed SA or worse. Those people aren't on the list, but by all means, we should include those who weren't very nice.
Look into Clark Gable and Loretta Young. You'll change your mind then.
This is the most ridiculous sh.. I have heard yet! Get a dictionary and look up the word "evil". You apparently don't understand the definition. These were great talents that offered us more than great acting and entertainment, but they were also good people that helped with social movements associated with the evils of racism and the evils of WWII.
Evil? Just cliackbait. Worth skipping through!
Title “20 most evil actors”: Betty Davis was hugely active in the 2nd world war, opening the Hollywood Cantina and touring to entertain troops and even defying racial barriers despite her career. But she feuded with Joan Crawford so she’s evil. 🤔
Surprised not to see Walter Brennan on this list. It was so disappointing to hear what a horrible person he was.
I wasn’t aware of that one! I will have to look into that!! Cheers for the heads up.
Walter Brennan served in the Great War and was gassed and it affected his voice and Hollywood welcomed him back...he was married to the same woman all his life as they loved each other and took care of each other!
Not a horrible person...his physical problems due to service in war!
@@lindadeal3344 He was an outspoken racist who celebrated the assassination of JFK.
@@nanasewdearhe was even more happy over MLK being assassinated! That man made John Wayne look like a socialist by comparison!!!
I'm not sure you understand what "evil" means. Most of these people aren't even close.
TOTALLY agree with you!
If Bette Davis was so awful, why did she do so many good things
5:02 Faye D, yeah she did Joan Crawford character justice, I guess you can say she embodied the character😅
Most of these stars knew all those war bonds were useless. But were coerced to sell them.
Worthless? Here's something that I haven't heard before!
surprised bobe hope or john wayne were not on the list
NEWS FLASH FOR YOU THERE, SKIPPY !!!!! Clarke Gable did have a child out of wedlock with actress Loretta Young. Its true.
Yes, and it wasn't a consensual relationship.
The list includes just about every actor that worked in Hollywood when Hollywood was still relevant.
Evil is obviously not appropriate for most of these people, but it’s why I foolishly watched this. Misleading videos like this will make me reluctant to watch this channel, lack of credibility.
Exactly what I was thinking. They had to get our attention somehow
I’m not sure about the “evil” tag but most of them were absolute jerks 🙄😉
Bingo! A much better description.
Here, Jimmy Stewart is described as a War Hero, a famous star who had to struggle to be allowed to put his life on the line flying bombing missions over Germany, when he could have sat safe and sound on a training airbase in America. It does not mention any evil he did, unless fighting against the Nazis was evil. It also does not mention that after winning the Oscar for best actor in March of 1941, he joined the army only one month later, seven months before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor which brought America into WW II. His studio went crazy angry over Stewart putting his film career on hold right after the Oscar. He didn't care.
People use the word "Evil" a little too lightly. You don't do that if you have ever experienced the real thing.
James Stewart was famous for storming off sets when he felt an actor was doing better than him. Maureen O Hera talks about it in her book
Bette Davis hated O'Hara because she was in an elevator with her and O'Hara's daughter when Maureen tore into her daughter, shaming her for being overweight. Davis said it was a horrible thing to do to a child. So O'Hara's no saint, either.
Just to whom was Bing suppose to be expressing his emotions to on the golf course???? He didn't know he would die. Another thing there is nothing wrong with being stoic. They just control their emotions more than others. It doesn't mean they do not have them.
Plus he was also very much a product of his generation. It was unheard of to show emotions in the era of the turn of the 19th/20th century. You never would show your feelings, for sure not as a man, woman who were emotional were called 'hysteric' and 'highstrung'.
Children in troubled families are often taught to suppress and stifle their emotions. It can be a lesson that is practically impossible to “unlearn” in later life.
@@SuzannePada Exactly.
Joan Crawford deserves to be on this list
Being unfaithful in relationships was SOP. The rarities are actors who stay faithful. The system was brutal, the life stressful, and not until the Me, Too movement did men in Hollywood get called out for using and abusing women. And that was in This Century!
Jimmy Stewart stepped away from Hollywood at the height of his fame for five years to, oh I don't know, be a war hero. Whereas John Wayne pretended to be one on film and never served, Stewart actually was the part.
We know…keep reminding yourself 🙄
John Wayne was too old and had a family deferment.
Wayne, the person (as opposed to any one of multiple characters he played), never pretended to be a war hero. An actor’s role is…to act. Your reference to John Wayne here is gratuitous and irrelevant.
Polanski may have enjoyed the short shower.
I admire the fact that you paint a far more complex and nuanced picture of the actors being targeted as "evil", helping the general public to embrace a deeper understanding of these people's lives. FYI: About the rumors surrounding Kirk Douglas, Lana Wood who got her information from her sister, described the man who assaulted Natalie as a "Studio Head", and not an actor. It was also suggested that she never made it clear exactly the identity of the man who assaulted her. FYI: Two more to add to the list, John Wayne & Ryan O'Neal.
It’s not more complex or nuanced, it’s stretching the truth of the meaning of the word 😆
The most decorated actor of WW2 was Audie Murphy,not Jimmy Stewart.
Nope Jimmy Stewart was an acror when he joined... Audie Murphy didn't become an actor until 1948, three years after the war.
I would not let them work if they acted that way
'hurting' is an interesting euphemism for 'graping'....having possible grapist on the same list as Bette Davis was a little bit rude, seems ridiculous.
Your title is misleading. Boo.
Ah, this must be an altogether different definition of the word "evil" that I hadn't previously been aware of...
Jimmy Stewart will always be my favorite no matter what you say!
Ignore this daft video, it’s rubbish.
Guiness came home to England after acting in the first Star Wars film and told his friends that he'd been in the USA acting in some silly children's film. But that they'd paid him well. But now he was back for his really important work, on the London stage.
I thought Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle would make the list considering the scandal that has come to overshadow his career. And Joan Crawford was similarly reassessed after daughter Christina Crawford's accusations of alleged abuse. BTW, I see misspelled names for at least six of those actors in the segment breaks: Wallace Berry, Fay Dunaway, Betty Davis, Orson Wells, Jean Kelly, and Milton Burl
As far as my feelings on how Clark Gable was as a person....frankly my dear i don't give a damn! 😂
The only one I wood call evil is Wallis Berey the rest were unplesant or not nice people to be around.
Some of these I agree with, some I don't, but this was good, nonetheless. TY for sharing it. God Bless You & stay safe.
I don't know if I'd call these people evil. Yes, there are some narcissistic a-holes on this list but calling them evil is too much of a stretch. They're just people who work in a ruthless industry. The heads of the studio and producers, however, are more evil then a lot of these actors are.
I think that using the evil word in the title is vastly deceptive and should instead be renamed as complex and ambiguous, but evil gets the clicks. Most likely, calling this Hollywood actors uncovered is more apt. I'm sure my comment will simply be overlooked or outright ignored, but to those reading, I hope it inspires others a moment of contemplation.
My vote would go to Lupe Velez who would make these people seem "nice" in comparison. She apparently physically abused her lovers, stabbing one of them and threatening another with a gun...and much more.
Could never tolerate Joan Crawford..
Jimmy Stewart is the best. I love his movies.
I fancied him myself!!
Me too.
With Bearle there is a great video on youtube of him and Richard Pryor going toe to toe with Bearle showing how out of touch he was
Thank you for keeping the bg music low so HoH viewers can hear YOU! 🙌🏼
Here here!! I completely agree with you!!
Immoral? Yes. Evil? No.
I heard a lot of horrible actions about Faye Dunaway, and this showed things i didnt hear about before! I read where on a plane she was very rude to someone on that plane and stating " Do you know who i am?!" Like she was above anyone else. Came back to add, Orson Welles degraded and treated one of my favorite horror actresses, Ingrid Pitt like trash when she turned down his advances.
Spoiler alert! There's good and bad in all of us!
Y'all have a shifting definition of "evil." 🤣
Just because an actor plays a character who has a "twisted soul" or however you described Stewart, that doesn't make him a bad person. They are playing a part for money! Also, I had no idea give me Stewart blue a B-52 in WW2. 😂
I read a biography of Big Crosby "The Hollow Man" - good actor, good singer, truly horrible person. I've never cared for Sinatra - he was a bully. If he demanded some poor casino dealer break the rules and they refused - he had them fired; if they did what he wanted - they were fired for not following the rules. With bodyguards to ensure his safety from repercussions.
There is a story I read that he had hisMob friends beat up Marlon Brando because Brando was doing a much better job in the Movie Guys and Dolls than he was.
Orson was THE man. 👍👌 I will never understand the hoopla about Kirk (noctotchatal) Douglas. Talk about narcissistic. 🙄
After watching a few biopics on Kirk Douglas, I understand that he had a bad reputation for "debauching" young (like 14-16 year old) actresses. Another channel presented pretty compelling evidence that he paid for abortions for some of these poor girls. I'm not presenting this as fact; just saying other people have presented evidence of these things. Which would, in my book, make him actually evil.
@@daniellekennedy8118there was a rumor that he SAed Natalie Wood when she was a teen.
Don't know why Jimmie Stewart is on this list.
19:49 Wells, couldn't get no play 🤣🤣🤣
I would use the word difficult rather than evil.
Elizabeth Taylor is most definitely NOT evil. I met her. She is a nice and strong classy lady
If you peel back the layers of any one of us, actor or not, you'll find something to call evil, especially in today's ultra-judgemental social setting. It's okay to not like something does without hating them for it. Not to mention evil is in the eye of the beholder. Cheating always seems to have been okay in Hollywood.
Any video creator that cites Darwin Porter as a reliable source needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
I don't think any of them could be considered "evil". Some of them were complete jerks, but evil is probably not the right word.
Look, they were "ACTORS"..that was their job. They weren't and aren't heros. They have no political voice. They are not required to be nice, smart, fair or anything else. They are required to do their job and do it well. Seems to me all 20 of these people fill the bill. Leave them alone and celebrate the actor and them acting in your favorite movies.
I have to agree. Evil is wrong. Complicated would fit better.
It does not surprise me !! Marg 💋
So sick of the term "toxic masculinity"
Some of these folks were assholes and nightmares but not all. Wtf did Stewart do to end up on here?
Gable, Beery, Fonda, Chaplin, Douglas, Flynn, Gable, Brando, Welles, Rooney, Sinatra, Berle, Sellers, Dunaway, Kelly - all were well-known for bad behavior. I think Taylor might have been interfered with as a child. Bette Davis was tough - maybe difficult but I’m not sure she belongs on a top evil Hollywood list.
I need to know what other people's definition of "evil" means. Some of the stars presented shouldn't be on this list, and a obvious one wasn't (ahem...Joan Crawford).
Definitely, she was far worse than Davis
