The Black Dhalia - A Hollywood Legend who never appeared in films.

[msladysoul]

I been reading about and hearing about Elizabeth Short a.k.a The Black Dhalia. I know some of you heard of her, the attractive young lady who went out to Hollywood hoping for fame and fortune but ended up dying in a horrible way. She was named after Veronica Lake's movie, The Blue Dhalia. She gain fame allright in Hollywood history but in the worse way. She's one of many but the most horrible of many girls who go to the big city to be a star but meet a deadly fate. Her life seems like a movie. Until this day she's still talked about, still interesting, people still trying to figure out what happen, who did this unspoken cruel act to her, what brought her to that. In her short young life she done a lot in Hollywood, some say she hung out with stars. She tops any legend in Hollywood, she has about 8 books out on her and a documentary. Now, that's something for a woman who never appeared in movies but gain worldwide fame and rememberance.

 

Well, at least she got what she wanted fame but in the worse way.

 

Doesn't she have those classic movie star looks for any of you who ever seen her? How do some of you feel about her?

It is unfortunate how the fledgling actress Elizabeth Short had to gain fame.

 

Speculation does continue regarding her grizzly murder, since NBCs "Dateline" ran a story recently about the Black Dahlia", featuring a gent who believes that his own father, who was a physician, committed the crime those many years ago.

 

Also director Brian De Palma is currently making the movie "The Black Dahlia" with actress Mia Kirshner playing Miss Short. She appeared recently on TVs "24" as Mandy.

Mr. De Palma will concentrate on the investigators of the crime and FBI, in his rendition of the story.

 

So, it goes on and on, while keeping the beautiful Elizabeth Short's name alive, something that she would never have imagined.
