It is a custom as old-fashioned and shady as the film industry itself.
In fact, a lot of the top celebrities in Hollywood secretly owe their careers to an assignment on the notorious “casting couch” of Tinseltown.
However, some of those movie stars could have loved sleeping their way to the top more than others, according to a top insider.
Oscar-nominated costume designer Jean-Pierre Dorléac’s assertion that Grace Kelly was one of the biggest “tramps” in the industry is certain to infuriate a lot of people.
Kelly, who later became Princess Grace of Monaco, was well known for her stunning glacier blonde hair.
She was able to secure leading parts in three of Alfred Hitchcock’s most well-known thrillers because to it, and she was married to Prince Rainier of Monaco.
According to Los Angeles-based Dorléac, who has a long and distinguished career as a costume designer and was nominated for an Oscar for the 1980 film Somewhere in Time, Kelly’s behaviour on her 1954 film The County Girl was overall less regal.
“He told me stories about Grace Kelley in 1978 while I was dressing famous actor John Williams of Dial M for Murder and To Catch a Thief for Battlestar Galactica in my Emmy-winning costumes,” Dorléac wrote in an email to the Daily Mail.
Pictured in 1955, Grace Kelly was renowned for her grace and icy beauty, but a prominent Hollywood costume designer claims that behind the scenes, she was a sex addict.
Jean-Pierre Dorléac claims that Kelly, who was married to Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956, had sex with four of her co-stars on the set of her 1954 film The County Girl.
She was referred to as the “snob with round heels,” and Williams told me about Hitchcock’s continued seductive relationship with Kelly while they were working on the movie.
During the filming of The Country Girl, she ended up sleeping with four of the biggest stars at the box office, according to Dorléac, a writer looking for a publisher for his new book of Hollywood rumours, Evocative Observations.
Bing Crosby, William Holden, Anthony Ross, and Gene Reynolds were the film’s four lead actors.
Kelly’s claimed liaisons with Ross and Reynolds are not publicly known, but her relationships with Crosby and Holden are.
Kelly married Prince Rainier III and left the film industry just two years after filming The County Girl.
She relocated to Monaco, where she lived until she died at the age of 52 in an automobile accident in 1982.
Dorléac called Kelly a “sham” who exploited her “physical beauty and pulchritudinous allure to get ahead” and implied that she cheated on Prince Rainier.
Dorléac claimed that Shelley Winters, a Hollywood doyenne, had much more ravenous sexual cravings than Kelly and was far more outspoken about discussing them.
Dorléac claimed that actress Shelley Winters, pictured in 1955, enjoyed telling strangers vivid tales about her sexual escapades with the most well-known leading males in Hollywood.
“I saw a stranded, screaming woman kicking the tires of a nearby limousine during a departure one evening from the downtown Music Center in Los Angeles, and realised it was Shelley Winters, damned over a flat tire,” he said. “After hearing her complain about missing an opening night after party I was heading to, I offered her a lift and had suggested she leave the driver with the car to take care of things.” “The excursion turned into an endless adventure of her numerous sexual conquests as we h “See that crumbling duplex over there,” she complained, narrow-mindedly glancing to the right. “A sort of guided tour of where she had banged, humped, or sucked someone of renown and what exactly transpired.” There, Errol Flynn tore off all of my clothes and forced me to sit on his face while shoving me back and forth. I had never done it in that manner before.
She pointed a finger in front of me and peered once more. “Burt Lancaster bit me so hard that I got blood on my nipples on the third floor of that brick building,” she cried in my ear.
“He was really pushy.”
Dorléac claims that Winters then told him about an intense sexual encounter with Flynn, which resulted in the Adventures of Robin Hood star needing stitches on a private body part.
Winters, a self-described Democrat, is reported to have disclosed her one sexual boundary with Marlon Brando and pointed out the location of their hookup.

“I never ever did anyone who was a Republican, except for Bill Holden,” Dorléac claims she disclosed.
Winters was married four times, won two Oscars for best actress, and passed away at the age of 85 from a heart attack in 2006.
Dorléac, an equal-opportunities raconteur, also described two prominent Hollywood guys who were known to be sex-crazed and who both died tragically and too soon.
The first was Dallas celebrity Dack Rambo, who passed away in 1994 at the age of 52 from AIDS. “Dack, whom I worked a full year on the TV series “The Sword of Justice,” was infamous for keeping the back door of his house unlocked until two o’clock in the morning to serve all of his visitors,” Dorléac remembered.He couldn’t keep it in his trousers, despite his constant attempts to conceal it by showing up in public with attractive blondes flaunting a big set of knockers.
“Unfortunately, his timing contributed to his death from AIDS, which he contracted a few years later.
In 1967, actor Dack Rambo filmed the television series Message at Noon. According to Jean-Pierre Dorléac, the late celebrity allowed late-night callers to enter his Los Angeles house through the back door till two in the morning every night.

Jean-Pierre Dorléac, who was seen in Los Angeles earlier this year, has expressed his expert opinions about this year’s Met Gala.
I refused to see him unless my wardrobe helpers and tailors were there because he was constantly attempting to grope me during fittings. Passing him on the street or confronting him on the set became such an annoyance. What a leech he was.
After receiving an HIV test in 1991, Rambo—whose real name was Norman—retired from acting and came out as bisexual that same year. He subsequently dedicated the last three years of his life to raising awareness of AIDS.
Dorléac, who collaborated with Making of a Male Model actor Jon-Erik Hexum on the disastrous 1984 TV series Cover Up, claims that despite Hexum’s apparent homophobia, Hexum had similar desires for relationships with men.
“He was adamant about his costumes and would only wear plaid shirts, worn jeans with a red bandanna hanging out of his right back pocket like a Selma Avenue hustler, accompanied with a scowl while he disparaged and ridiculed other gay men,” Dorléac claimed, despite the fact that he was playing a hot fashion model.
There was always a huge queue of male guests waiting to be served outside his on-set trailer.
Seeing his camper bounce around on its coil spring suspension system every hour of a twelve-hour day was hilarious.
“I would frequently find him in a compromising position, moaning in ecstasy, while putting his costumes inside the trailer during a break in the routine.”
“In addition, there was nothing one could tell him as he thought he knew everything,” Dorléac continued.
A costume designer who collaborated with Jon-Erik Hexum (shown in 1982) claimed that despite his seeming homophobia, he enjoyed having sex with guys.
In 1984, Hexum was photographed. Jean-Pierre Dorléac, the costume designer, claimed to have once witnessed the late actor having sex with another guy.

Sadly, Hexum’s startling and premature demise was to result from the same precociousness.
Dorléac, who was on site that fatal day in October 1984, claimed that Hexum was “trying to be cute” while filming the seventh episode of Cover Up.
“For a laugh,” Dorléac said, he aimed a pretend gun loaded with blanks at his temple and pulled the trigger.
However, Hexum suffered terrible head injuries from the weapon’s muzzle explosion, and six days later, at the age of just 26, he was pronounced brain dead.
Dorléac’s 24-karat gold gossip about the rich and the good of Hollywood never ceases to excite Daily Mail readers.
“It’s always very difficult having to deal with such unbalanced, egocentric, and difficult people the public are largely ignorant of,” he stated in an explanation of his mission to reveal the secrets of the film capital.
“They obsess over their looks and believe that’s all that matters when evaluating talent.”
