Marion Davies donated the Children's Wing at UCLA Medical Center. She also went there with Santa prior to Christmas and took all the Children's requests. She then fulfilled them and sent Santa to their homes with the Gifts. I know because I answered the door and there was Santa with what I had asked for. In addition I was the last kid in school who believed in Santa. That's because I knew my Father was in the other room and he definitely wasn't Santa. 😂. She was a great lady and lived in Santa Monica.

In his autobiography, The Moon's a Balloon, 😅David Niven spoke very lovingly of Marion Davies as he met her when invited to San Simeon by Hearst. He said she was the kindest, sweetest woman who took a childlike delight in matchmaking within the younger ranks of her guests. She would leave gifts and lovely things for guests visiting for the weekend. He certainly painted a wonderful picture of the amazing San Simeon and bemoaned the eventual opening of it to the public. Whilst an hilarious raconteur, Niven could sometimes be rather elitist and there really wasn't anything else that could be done with such a site. I hope it's all still intact and not been bulldozed to the ground by the likes of Pia Zadora and her hubby!

They openly lived together and WRH had enough money to pay his wife Millicent to go away and leave them be. She was also a former show girl of 16 when they met and most likely had to live in a controlled relationship until Marion Davies relieved her of her duties. I'm guessing that Millicent knew of the child and made a deal to not tell and ruin him as long as he didn't try to divorce her. Maybe that's why Davies gave the shares back when WRH died? 🤔 She certainly wasn't on skid row after WRH died in 1951. She she left an estate of $20 MILLION when she died in 1961.

I’ve been to Hearst Castle and heard about Marion through the tour guide. Apparently Hearst’s kids did a lot of demeaning things to Marion, including naming an elephant after her. I love elephants and if someone named an elephant after me, I’d be delighted! As for his wife refusing to divorce, according to the Catholic religion, the only way that could happen is the marriage had to be annulled. I’m not sure what that would do to the status of their children, which is probably why she refused to get a divorce: for her kids’ sake. I’m glad that she chose to move to New York to get away from the scene. Anyway, I really enjoyed this video! Marion was a beautiful lady!

You do know that Millicent was NO saint when she and Hearst got together? She was 14 and he was 34 when they started courting with her sister Anita as chaperone. They were married 6 years later. Millicent did try to divorce WRH in 1937, they had been estranged since 1926, and she insisted on the magazine "Cosmopolitan" as part of her property settlement to which he refused. They never reconciled and she outlived him by 23 years as still his wife.

Thank you for posting this compilation. I would like to tell you that the vocal sound is faint and the musical accompaniment was louder than the narrator. Marion Davies did many good works with her accounts, including saving W.R.'s magazines and newspapers from total bankruptcy. (Perhaps Mrs. W.R. and her boys realized this at some later point.) There were any number of global scandals which were covered, even provoked by Heart newspapers. It has always seemed to me that Marion Davies gave W.R. a happier life. And, when I saw Patricia Lake's obituary, in which she finally told everyone who her real parents were, I was so glad. There have been many celebrity offspring who were kept from mentioning their real parents. It was a tough time for Marion and her sister and others, and the Hearst family knows a great deal about every point involved. When the affair started, one cannot blame Phoebe Hearst for trying to protect herself and her boys from scandal. We live in incredibly different times, which may be more "open" but which just might also be less gentile.

And even when he lost everything she gave him a million dollars in 1930 to save him from bankruptcy! Thats a crazy amount of money even today! Back then that was 20 million dollars in todays money. I also feel like she would have left him after what happened to her niece if she didn't love him as well. I do believe she did love him. I don't believe he loved her though.

There are very few stars who are actually beloved by other stars but one name was in reality a very beloved and liked star. This charming little blonde evokes a whole thesaurus of admiring adjectives: warm, generous, fun-loving, beautiful, spunky, personable, giddy, saucy, vivacious, joyous, bubbly, pert, breezy and sentimental. She was Marion Davies and ego-maniacal Charlie Chaplin, in his biography, said, "To my surprise, she was quite the comedienne, with charm and appeal and would have been a star in her right without the cyclonic William Randolph Hearst behind her. There was a running joke in Hollywood that was a quote that was repeated over and over again that actually came from Parsons. In reviewing one of Marion's costume potboilers, Yolande (1924, Metro-Goldwyn) she had said, "Marion Davies, in costumes of the English period, has never looked lovelier." That joke was amusing as most of them were, and Marion herself would have enjoyed laughing over it, but other "jokes" were not harmless. The most notorious of the Marion Davies "jokes" was of course, the character of Susan Alexander in Orson Welles' Citizen Kane (1941, RKO), as the no-talent mistress of newspaper baron Charles Foster Kane, Susan is pushed into an operatic career which is unequivocally beyond her abilities. But the fact is that Marion Davies was NOT a no-talent actress. Marion was indeed a delightful mimic and a sparkling comedienne, and if her singing and dancing were not so topnotch, she was far better than many of her contemporaries in Hollywood. But, Hearst saw her only in a fantasy of romanticism and female respectability, and built her career around a series of ridiculous costume dramas, thwarting her talents as a comedienne. Marion, who loved Hearst "Pops" undeniably and did not give a damn about her career most of the time she would usually acquiesced. But Hearst loved Davies with great devotion and certainly would have married her if his wife Millicent would have consented to a divorce.

Wrong, he asked his wife Millicent several times for a divorce but she would refuse. When she was finally ready in 1937, after living estranged for 11 years, they could not come to an amicable property division. She wanted "Cosmopolitan" magazine and he refused. He was worth over $200 MILLION when he died in 1951 and she was his widow. San Simeon Castle was immediately donated to the state of California in 1951. Davies and WRH had moved out in 1947.

It was part of her story. What was not nice was that it happened. You may be surprised to know that most humans have complex lives and they are not always a pleasant story.

WRH and Davies moved out of San Simeon Castle in 1947. No one was living there in 1951 when he died that August. It was donated to the state of California that same year.

Horrifying? So she was being paid for the photoshoot. And she got herself hired and basically got a whole studio. Plus she started an affair with a married man and his live in

She was very young when she saw him in the background. I mean, you are taking history and placing it on a girl who at that time only saw this guy watching her every night. Then she thinks she's going to a photo shoot , hired for her own talents. She finds out later it was WH. So yes, at that moment in time she was horrified.

I love her films, especially the ones with Forrest as her male lead. She was incredibly talented and funny, but just reading the articles promoting the films, you could see his obsession with her.
