I’d never heard of her before I watched this very engrossing video. She was a beauty but had no morals or loyalty whatsoever, which made her very suited to Hollywood.
My thoughts exactly.
It’s ok for men , though, eh?
@@drwoo6090 No its not ok for either sex.
Thanks for mentioning that.🙂 I sincerely need sexism pointed out to me often because it was so ingrained from an early age. Even the best of hearts can't know what they don't know. Or in other words, it really is good that we don't live forever because old, ignorant, hateful ideas might never fade into history. 🙂
@@drwoo6090 I gave my opinion on the subject of this video, who happens to be a woman. If the subject of the video had been a man flitting from one woman to the next with no morals and no loyalty I would have written the exact same thing. It’s very unfair the way men are constantly being attacked these days, unless they are lgbt of course. There are plenty of good, straight men who don’t cheat, in fact I’m married to one.
Wow, what a waste of life. It doesn't seem that she had respect for anyone else.
ABSOLUTELY 💯 I've heard the same things about N@ncy Reagan, who was known to give a wonderful
bl🚭w j🚷b to everyone (she was famous for them). google it. Elizabeth Taylor and all the 🐑 starlets in Hollywood😃..
Wow I was just diagnosed with Colon Cancer just like Linda but I plan on beating the cancer 😊
You will!
Fast. As long as you can, 2-3 weeks. Take Ivermectin, juice cabbage & other greens. Garlic, ginger, rosemary (& more) kill pathogens & more. Good luck to you!
Be brave.
We'll all pray 🙏💞 for you, sweetheart!!!! Be brave!!!! 😎💪. I'm 73 now, and my 82-year-old sister has beat 3 different kinds of cancer through the last 40 years. God Bless you. 🙏
eat meat? Stop
She lived a long and adventurous life. To say her ending was tragic, is an overstatement. Any person that age could have just about any ailment. I say she rode that sh*t until the wheels fell off!!!

Why are so many beautiful people truly ugly at heart? 😔
She did not "literally" blow up. She figuratively blew up. *Big* difference. 🙄
I have an offbeat weird sense of humor……you made me smile at your comment! Thank you! 😂. I didn’t mean to sound disrespectful at all, but sometimes things make you laugh just because…….😊
Now that would have been a sight to behold 😅
Very big difference, I am glad I’m not the only person who noticed that.
Ouch, how many names and words can be mispronounced in one video.
A textbook narcissist. I hope she didn’t destroy her children.
Nah..Romina ( first daughter) was married for many many years had 4 kids and divorced when she became old. I don't know what the other daughter did hopefully has a good life
Romina was married to a famous Italian singer called Albano. One of their daughters vanished in USA never to be found.😢@notimefornonsense722

Her other daughter passed away.
Flynn was gonna rename her Linda Fortune. Changed his mind when he realized she’d be introduced as MissFortune.
😂😂😂😂
People need to understand that most of these videos are voiced by a robotic device. Don’t expect to much.
He should have called her Linda Take...

@@PhyllisFicarrotta-yg1om The point we are making is this is unacceptable. Either use human narrators, or improve the technology. If the audience doesn't complain, the quality will never improve. You may not agree, and that is ok, too.
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of her.
Ever heard of her either
No, never. But true doll.
Well before your time, that's why.
Just looks and no morals.
A one-one woman!! Model of that! See other Hollywodd artists' records.
AI can pronounce the same word in the same story half a dozen ways, and the inntonation is unbelievable, drives me crazy, i end up switching off.
Actually her birthname was Blanca Rosa Welter. Her father was a Dutchman called Gerard Welter. Her sister was actress Ariadne Welter. Her mother was Blanca Rosa Vorhauer, but Linda never used that surname.
So, she was Dutch by blood, and not Mexican?
@@susannahfox7188 Mexican by birth and her mother was Mexican, of Spanish and German ancestry.
Where was her mother from originally ?
@@harrodsfan Her mother was Mexican. There are millions of white Mexicans.
@@caraqueno Some people dont realise that Mexicans come in all shades , from white redhead to Black frizzy hair from blue to black eyes !!!
What a piece of work she was! Where were her poor kids in all this??😢
She didn't 'blow up literally' 🙄
So Louie B Mayors secretary had the authority to offer Linda a 7 yr contract? wow.
Wow, she was one busy lady… GEEZ!🤷♀️ Great channel!!!

The only thing I could criticise her for is leaving her kids to other care givers while she was away doing whatever. Then I find myself thinking, what about Tyrone Powers, was he an engaged dad? I doubt it. I doubt also that he and all the men associated with Hollywood and beyond who were considered root rats; their morals never coming into question, nor would they be described in such pejorative terms as the narrator has just described Linda Christian.
Furthermore, she had nothing to do with that racing car driver smashing into spectators, killing himself, his navigator and all those innocent victims; it was the lack of safety measures that caused that catastrophe.
Well, jane, it's like James Brown sang: "This is a man's world.......but it would be nothing without........a woman or a girl."
I love it. Someone who sees the truth that women are held to a different standard. I agreed with all you said. Didn't you know women are supposed to be virgins right up until they are dropped into the coffin box, anything else and you are a tramp. Meanwhile, the men, doing the same things, get none of the same notice. It is only the women who are wicked tramps, and the men are their innocent victims. Poo poo on this crazy world.
I find the men equally accountable and sorry
She was a right slag. Why are you defending her? Is this something you aspire to?
Women of wealth and stature all left the children to be raised by nannies back then. I remember when I was younger and heard what a wet nurse was 😮. Sad but true.
I always wonder, who's raising the kids? Hollywood hasn't changed much has it? Presumably children are still treated as accessories!
All people from Hollywood send there kids off for someone else to raise.sad but true seems like they put there careers first even before there children.
Goodness. She was strikingly beautiful
I don’t know if this is AI voice or not, but please learn to pronounce things before making a video
I Would Like To Know, Was She EVER A Mother As She Pursued Her Dalliances With Wealthy And Famous Men? It Appeared, To Me, HER Happiness Was All She Cared About.
You dont need to capitalize every word..Obviously.
Is it a weird egotistical thing??
Or just a future book title..
You probably wasn't a good mother. I can't imagine but they didn't say anything about it. She was ABSOLUTELY 💯 busy. I've heard the same things about N@ncy Reagan, who was known to give a wonderful
bl🚭w j🚷b to everyone (she was famous for them). google it. Elizabeth Taylor and all the 🐑 starlets in Hollywood😃..
She had two beautiful daughters that looked like Elizabeth Taylor.
.Taryn and Romina. Romina became a famous singer in Italy. Taryn did small acting roles. 😢
Thanks for the tribute to the late beautiful Linda Christian! BTW, it's pronounced DI-nah Shore,, not Dena!
Why "die"nah for Dina but not "tie"nah for Tina?
@@valeriemacphail9180We don't make the rules. We just follow them. Also, It's Dinah not Dina.
@@valeriemacphail9180 It's actually spelled Dinah. Not Dina. If your example was spelled Tinah, instead of Tina, it wouldn't be pronounced the same as "TEE-nuh" Did that make sense? I'm not sure I explained that very well.
@@valeriemacphail9180
That's just the way the English language 'rolls' lots of words spelt in a similar fashion are pronounced differently - plus, Tina is often (and originally) the shortened form of Christina...which is definitely _not_ pronounced with a 'long i' - so, _not_ _Chris_T-eye-na, but definitely _Chris_T-een-a, hence, Teen-a, & _not_ Tie-na.
"Have I given you a clue...?"
"Gee... Thanks, Baloo" (Disney's The Jungle Book - novel by Rudyard Kipling*)
*...who, 'apparently' "makes exceedingly good cakes" !! 🤔🥺😏🙂😊🏴❤️🇬🇧🖖
@@brigidsingleton1596 Thanks, what was meant is the pronunciation of Dina should be optional, seeing as we also have the male version "Dino" as in Dino de Laurentis. Not so with the narrator's shocking mistake of pronouncing it the "ANALS" of history!😂😂😂 English pronunciation is varied and unreliable. The vowel sounds in English are all dipthongs, whereas in other European languages they are standard, with a slight variation on the "open" e and o. The study of phonetics refines the ear to the subtleties of sound.
WRONG! It's "cherished figure in the ANNALS of cinema history." NOT "anals." The two words are completely different, with "anal" as a more anatomic reference.
thank you for mentioning this...I did a double take the first time I heard it and had to listen again. I was wondering if this was some cruel joke about a person who had died of colon cancer, but it's probably a poorly pronounced word.
OMG!!! 😂😂😂😂
Well, considering the context, I think he pronounced it just fine.
Thank u!
Turn up the F###ing Volume. !! 😊
"Beauty is as beauty does" is a quotation taken from the 1994 film* version of "Black Beauty" (the only novel/book written by Anna Sewell, about a 'carriage horse', and horses, generally, in the time _before_ cars were invented)
*Scottish actor Alan Cumming **_voiced_** 'Black Beauty' in that* film (brilliantly❤)
Thank you really interesting and beautifully presented.... looks like she didnt have time for her children 😢
Apparently, neither did British author Enid Blyton ("have time for her children") Apparently her interest in children - not the _bad_ kind of 'interest in children', but as a _mother_ - was mostly in the _many_ , *many* stories she wrote about groups of 'adventuring children'...
Julian, Dick Anne and their cousin George (Georgina) and George's dog, Timmy, aka "The Famous Five",
plus "The Adventures of..." with Philip, his sister Dinah, and their friends (& later, adopted siblings) Jack, his parrot: 'Kiki' and Jack's sister Lucy-Ann.... (The latter sets of books being _my personal_ favourite) Plus - though I rarely read them and do not recall their names.
"The Secret Seven" ...
Enid was a prolific writer _of_ children's stories, _for_ children, but in so doing - according to her own children - had very little time to devote to her own 'flesh 'n' blood' children, which they very much resented, (unsurprisingly).
I loved most of the Enid Blyton stories, particularly 'The Adventures'...and
'The Famous Five', but felt sad (when I found out through a TV documentary of her life, when I became an adult plus a mum, myself) for her children ...but I guess that's often how life goes, _if_ one's hobby or career takes over...😢
Love that Rivera painting, its captivatingly beautiful! If i may use that description.
It's pronounced ann als. Not ay nals. Unless you're into that sort of thing.
😮😂
I almost choked when I heard him mispronounce that word! Also, ingenue, and many others......
Americans have trouble with English. It's thier second language after grunting.
SNORTED…water out my nose…damn.
😂😂😂😂😂
Man she got around😂😂😂who was watching her daughters when she was out on the hunt for men from different countries?
I so enjoyed this documentary - Thankyou !!!
I did recognise her eventually, but she had no morals. Men after men , quite self centred, what happened to her children? Wonder what childhood they had?
So what excuses everyone could make for her?
And a man doing the same would ve called a ladies man or a stud.
I like your channel because it mixes classic stars with ones who are more obscure (at least to me). If the volume levels of the different videos/narrators were more aligned it would make watching multiple videos a better experience though.
Where was her children through out all this.
Grandparents and boarding school.
Great video. Thanks…
Every time you stated, "she just jumped right in", (to bed) you should have said "they". When a woman does it, it is a scandal. When a man does it, he is admired. It takes two.
Oh give me a break. I'm a woman but I'm sick to death of people making excuses, especially for women who knowingly hurt other women. Yes, it takes two to cheat but it appears to me that you're just splitting hairs. She wasn't a nice person. She was a selfish, calculating bitch.
That standard goes both ways. After all, a man CAN'T cheat without a willing woman.
Oh give it a rest. Sexual standards differ between men and women. That's because of women's choices, nothing to do with men. Stop being a big baby about it and accept reality.
men rule the world & write the moral standards etc. Women who have healthy sex drives are sl*ts while men who do the same are studs. Men who avoid their kids are breadwinners & women who work 2 jobs are bad moms.
WOW 👀 Nobody came close to young Lana Turner's beauty!
That's why the narcissist LC wanted her man! It stroked her ego to get the guy Lana wanted.
@Daniela-Christianson
They all did it. Lana used her last name as a calling card! 😆
I know her as Romina Power's mother. She seems to have been very intelligent but also self-centered.
Linda was a good mother when she was with her kids. Her daughters turned out to be grounded, sensible, but also sensitive and artistic. Except for the tragedy of losing her granddaughter, her daughters lives have fairly stable. And they did love their mother.
@@Colorbrush21 I am sure they did but I am also pretty sure the fact that their mom was famous for jumping from bed to bed affected them. Romina was saying in one interview how embarrassed she was when she met Sean Connery who she idolized cause apparently he had a fling with her mom and asked her about her mother.
Great video!
Too many mispronunciations to mention.
Not a nice person very self centred.
Skip to 16:32 to find out what happened during the race.
Awfully narrated
its fine, we get it, there was a mis pronunciation.
youll be ok.
Diabolical
she had great eyebrows.
Actually what's in now.
Thats deep.
@@TheScotian82 you have no idea how unusual it is.
Yes she's had a good plucking !
Dinah is pronounced Dye-naa.
It's AI, that's why it's pronounced wrong
Thank you.
@@mariannedelwo9842 AI. stinks.
@@mariannedelwo9842 I don't think it's AI. AI is very monotone.
Inexcusable. AI or not that shouldn’t have gotten by the producer or editor
…and annals is not pronounced “anals”…..I was laughing so hard when you said that I slipped out of my mistress in Monte Carlo……on my 48 foot yacht…..
So beautiful ❤️ Love Linda. Thank you for this bio 🎉
What a life! Seems like she was really good at getting men, not so good at holding on to them.
By the way, it's "DYE-na" Shore, not "DEE-na" Shore.
Whore-->Mooch-->Rinse-->Repeat.
Quite a life, indeed.
All these men, got tired just hearing all the chasing she did. I just watched a mini doc on Romina Power her daughter. Romina had a daughter that went missing and later found dead in the 90's in Louisiana. Some say she was murdered and some say she killed herself. That was interesting. Also checked out Romina Power and her Husband Albano's music from the 70's. All so interesting, one story lead to another.
See, this story I would call tragic. Linda Christian’s, I would call Hollywood.
Great show
It seems like the younger the youtuber, the less they care about the actual pronunciation of people's names. In this video, it was Dinah Shore and the word "annals". It's so lazy when all they'd need to do is consult a grownup.
It's AI, a computer.
@@mattruzh8470 That's even worse. Would a young youtuber even bother to make videos if they had to write and then read their own scripts? Older content creators have been doing that for years now. For them, the question of whether or not videos are too hard to make isn't even asked. They simply get to work.
Linda Christian will forever remain a cherished figure in the anals of cinema history.
She was so pretty.
Thats deep.
Quite doable indeed
@@nathanielovaughn2145You don't always have to talk like a douchebag.
Yup. That's all she had.
Lol, she was Tyrone Power's beard
Ooooo SNAP I was thinking the same thing...I watched a documentary and without a shadow of a doubt he and Cesar Romero were madly in love with one another 🫣🤫
hello .......great share 😊😊😊😊. thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰............
Tbh I've never heard of her. But thank you for the very interesting video. ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
@@Factinate i really did ❤
What a woman! Bravo!❤
She wasn't all that ................
Agreed. Boring.
Hadnt heard of her before tbh. If you read actor David Niven's memoirs , (The Moon's a Balloon) his close friend Errol Flynn like minors. He would drive past schools with David to eye up students, & at his death, his 'girlfriend' was 15 & dating him with her mothers full knowledge.
@sarahholland2600. Flynn even went on trial for that.
I have heard of her, being raised in the sixties. She must have been talked about a lot. Delia Morris
@@DH-ve5bl Yes, David Niven described the trial in his book. Curiously, he didnt seem v judgemental about it. 🙄
That's dwn right all wrong at 15
MO
Wow. She sure led a wild life ! Beautiful woman.
Holy shite, so little time so many lover's! I'm exhausted just listening about her sexcapades...now I've gotta go have a cigarette😊
Beauty is as beauty does.
Goodness me what a tragic life she led!❤💔💔💔😥🙏🌹🙏🌹
She was stunningly beautiful. Sad.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's all that matters, right?
Excellent ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
That's Di (dye) nah Shore. Good video though.
Another great story by Fractinate! Could you do one on Anna May Wong? Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion! Meanwhile, feel free to read the Anna May Wong article on our website: www.factinate.com/people/facts-anna-may-wong
Great idea. Anna May has an very interesting, but tragic life.
Dutch, German, and Spanish made a beautiful specimen. Linda was stunning. In some pictures, she looks like a white passing Black woman. Jackie Onassis and her sister Lee had the same type of look.
I thought you were referring to Annabel Chong until I noted Wong was born in 1910. Thanks for the first good laugh I've enjoyed all week!
Brings back memories of my mom and grandma energetically gossiping about this actress - and her fixed teeth. In the suburbs then, this stupid bed hopping was secretly envied as 'glamour', long as the people were beautiful, otherwise they were called 'pigs.' LOL. People!
An-nals not Ainals, which brings to mind something else…
She leaned in and kissed him in his cockpit?
So she spent the most of the ‘50’s and 60’s bludging off men?
No conscious whatsoever!
Conscience?
The Linda Christian I'm know was the widow of Tyrone Power
Actually Tyrone's widow was his last wife, Deborah Ann Montgomery Minardos, a southern beauty who had the son he always wanted to carry on his name.
So so tragic on so many levels
Christian was a pretty standard looking Hollywood studio girl. Beautiful, but cookie cutter. I am sure I have seen her in films, but I don't remember her. She didn't stand out like a Liz Taylor, or Ingrid Bergman
They were real stars, though. You could see that from the beginning. I am not sure that Linda had that special thing that sets brilliance apart from mundane
She looked a little matronly to me.
@@VeneficaDelirium most of us get chunky as we get older, but to me, she looked Nancy Reaganish as she aged, lol, in her style
@@DJarry394 I've always struggled with my weight so I know. I thought she always looked a little bit older.
@@VeneficaDelirium I get it. I have too
Till today I have not heard about her. But remember her daughter Romina Power. So I guess this woman, Dinah Christian, was nothing special to remember. She lived a long wife, picked up every guy on her road and took what she could. So what...a pretty face she had but this was nothing she worked for just good genes from her parents.
The OG Bond girl!
So she's Romina Power's mother. Quite a character! Romina became a singer in Italy along with her husband at that time, Albano Carrisi.
She was truly beautiful!
you spelled 'egotistical' wrong.
Only on the outside
Very tragic.
And her children's welfare? I wonder who brought them up.
Romina Powers mom
Poor thing
Ooh i loved danny kaye
She was gorgeous and sexy looking
Very beautiful woman.
Where do you get your info from 😅
It is effectively a narrative of Christian's Wikipedia page. Genius to make YT money out of it 👏
Dinah Shore is pronounced "DYE-nuh". Also, Errol didn't "re-christian" her, he re-christened her. Her daughter, Taryn Power, had a bit of an acting career herself. Most people do not consider the American television version of "Casino Royale" to be "Official" -- it was an hour-long TV drama, in which Bond was changed into an American CIA agent, for one thing. For another the EON Productions Bond films are considered the Official Bond films. ANNals, not ANals... TOTALLY different.
I had never heard of her until I watched this video.
Some of us do care. If it’s a real person, he must be too young to have ever heard of Dinah Shore.
Id never heard of her before RUclips. She was incredibly beautiful. Absolutely stunning. And this was way before Botox & fillers, etc. ❤
I'm not so sure if you didn't mix up Linda Christian with slightly younger Linda Christian the Argentinian sexy actress who indeed stared in Tarzan Johnny Weismuller's movie "Tarzan and the Mermaids" her first movie stared in Hollywood; John Wayne's "The ALAMO" and finally in 1958 - Jock Mahoney's "The Last of the Fast Guns" a wonderfully chilling Western directed by George Stevens presumable her last movie, other than uncountable TV series. - Same fun with Allan Ladd and Allan Lane ( Allan Lane quickly became "Allan Rocky Lane" the famous "cowboy" of Republic pictures, one of the best REPUBLIC series ever.
What happened to her children?
She was super pretty though
"She blew up from there - literally".....
Um.....
Didn't she also have a son with Powers? I saw an old interview with her, her two daughters, and a son who looked remarkably like Powers.
She didn’t have a son much to Power’s sorrow.He was from an acting dynasty that went back a few generations and desperately wanted a son to carry on the Power name.However, Power was a wonderful father by all accounts and loved his family dearly.
@@northernlights6459 Thank you for the answer!
She wasn't christianed with the new name, she was christened!
Linda Christian was so pretty!
thanks for that.
If there was a story of his life, Tyrone Power could be played by Zac Effron!
Flynn was a gay artist... Eroll was a
drunken actor...so that explain a lot! ❤😅🎉
Bisexual according to reports from the time.
Her eyes are looking "elsewhere" (at who is watching?) when she kisses the idiot who killed innocents. Not a cherished figure at all.
This narration is deplorable. The announcer mispronounces many words including "ingenue", "annals", "Dinah" and many more! Very unprofessional and inaccurate. Laughable.
