Blind Items Revealed #18 - Reader Blind Item - Old Hollywood
April 13, 2020
The leader of that nation was revealed after his death to be a mass murderer on the level of what they were fighting against.
But even worse than him was one of his deputies who was in charge of internal security. He was a rapist who forced women to sleep with him to save the lives of their relatives whom he had arrested. He also would kidnap women off the street and keep them in a secret room in his house until they agreed to have sex with him. He had no compunction about age and often forced himself on underage girls. Other members of the government were very careful to keep their daughters away from him. Even worse was the fact that girls who said no often ended up being strangled to death and buried in his garden. Skeletons were found buried under the villa he lived in.
In the years of that conflict and for a short time afterwards until the two nations were at odds with one another, Hollywood made a few films that were very pro this nation. The leader of the nation tasked the deputy to work with Hollywood directly.
In doing so, the deputy became good friends with two people 1.) This Oscar winning/Oscar nominated A++ director whose films are considered quintessentially American especially the one that takes place during a specific holiday. 2.) This actor who starred in a film set in the country and one of whose most famous roles involved veterans from the big conflict. He was also in several films by this foreign director who acted as a villain on a TV show based on another medium.
During visits to the country, both the director and the actor took advantage of the young girls offered to them by the deputy. The actor even took part in the strangulation deaths of two of them.

Blind Items Revealed #3 - Reader Blind Item
January 7, 2020
At a recent film festival, during a Q and A after the showing of this action film that came out several decades ago and has had a number of sequels, a story was told that was one of the inspirations for the original novel. This story has bounced around for awhile but it was the first time it was confirmed publicly as true.
The decade before the film came out, there were a number of terrorist activities on this continent. This small tax haven had been spared so far but one day gunmen from this group with two names seized control of a luxury hotel which happened to be full at the time.
Staying at the hotel was this foreign born A+ athlete who at the time was the best in the world in his sport. He was also responsible for a boom in his sport that would carry over to the next decade as he had become a bit of a sex symbol .He was there to compete in an annual event.
This athlete was known for his unemotional calm demeanor when competing which he showed as he opened the cover of the vent in his room and crawled through the ventilation system down to the ground floor where he escaped and alerted the police. A team was able to disarm the terrorists without anyone being hurt. The athlete did not want any attention focused on this as he was very focused on event which he did end up winning that year.
A number of years later, the athlete, now retired, had financial troubles. He was helped with his debts by some of the other people who were staying in the hotel that day.
