HelpRe: Old Hollywood Insp. CAF (Part 3)
in reply to a message by Antique_Cherub
Born in 1914, Hildegard Schön was the oldest child of a German immigrant family in Pennsylvania. Although she had yet to dye her hair platinum, she was still striking and had always possessed that doe-like gaze, which later become her trademark. Before fame she worked at textile factory, using her meager paycheck to support her parents. It was on a trip to New York to visit her aunt that she was spotted, soon finding work as a model, and eventually, an actress. Her first big role came in 1935, when she starred in "Berlin, Baby!". Though her name at birth was Hildegard Annemarie Schön, the studios decided to give her something more star-worthy.

Soon after, Della Doe became a household name, starring box-office hit after hit. One of her most memorable roles would be as the seductive Madame Veruschka in the classic noir film "And Only to Tame". In 1940 at age twenty-six, she was married to fellow actor, Roy Wayne, who she met on the set of her 1939 romance film, "Lovers and Secret Admirers". He was eight years her senior. They were the perfect Hollywood couple, her with her perfect blonde curls and willowy figure, him with his dark hair, blue eyes, and smoky baritone. Just seven months after their marriage, Della would give birth to a baby girl, much to the tabloids shock. Only three years later, Della would file for a divorce. The court proceedings were splashed across the news, and filled with every sordid detail, from the mistresses to the drugs and Roy's supposed alcoholism. Despite it all, she would win full custody of her child.

Despite Roselle playing a younger version of her mother's character in "Infamous", she would eventually shun the fast-paced and, in her own words, "shallow" lifestyle of Hollywood. Roselle became a well-respected OB/GYN in New York, and married a pediatrician. After years of resentment between the two, Della and Roselle rekindled their relationship via the birth of Roselle's first child. Now, they maintain a friendship, and spend the holidays together.

In 1940 at age 31, Della would go on to win an Oscar for her portrayal of a heartbroken wife who combs the beach, looking for the husband she lost at sea in “Never Say Goodbye”. In her speech she thanked her parents for teaching her how to work hard, her daughter, for bring light into her life, and, to the gasps of the audience, her ex-husband for teaching her how to take a punch. Later in an interview, she would recount how her first marriage was “fueled by liquor and jealousy”, and how it was her daughter who gave her strength to leave her abusive relationship.
In 1945, Della would go on to star in a romantic comedy “The Middleman”, opposite Italian heartthrob, Sergio Sorrentino. After dating for only half a year, they would get married in his hometown of Venice, Italy. Paparazzi fought to get a snap of the bride’s dress, made entirely of Venetian lace, or her twenty-inch train. Her new husband was known for his charm, his accent, and the fact he could speak five languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish, and German. In 1947, Della would become a mother again to boy-girl twins. Della and Sergio were together five years, before calling it quits due to “irreconcilable differences”. Luckily, the two remained good friends, and their children would spend their summers in Venice, with their father.

___
Unlike Roselle, Silvia would thrive in the spotlight. With her thick black hair, green eyes, and Patrician nose – all curtesy of her father – she would become something of a sex symbol after her film debut in 1966 at the tender age of nineteen. The film, “October Dawn”, is a cult classic made with an all-European cast and shot in English. She would go on to star in several more Giallo films, to model for Vogue, and to eventually marry the frontman of the Brit-rock band “Plasticdoll”, Petey Adderley. They are one of the longest enduring couples of Hollywood, and the parents of four children.

Biagio would become a photojournalist for Time Magazine. He and his long-time girlfriend, Shirley Moore, were planning on getting married in 1972 when he went missing in Cambodia, thought to be captured by communist guerillas. He was never seen, or heard from, again. Later, his mother would have him declared dead in absentia. It was one of the hardest times in Della's life, and she would never speak of him publicly again. His girlfriend was only two months pregnant with their child, a little girl, when he disappeared.

In 1951, Della celebrated her fortieth birthday in Provence, where she had recently renovated a Chateau. She was born a day before Christmas, and wore a beautiful red Dior dress and holly in her hair. The Chateau had four real trees and presents for everyone, including her beloved greyhounds Orpheus and Eurydice. Della's gift to herself was a new car, a red Jaguar.
Taking a short break from acting, Della spent her years between France, England, and Italy. On a rainy day in London, she met a striking young woman in gorgeous Chanel ensemble, giggling without a care in the world that she was being soaked through. They ducked into a quiet café and shared cups and cups of tea, and their life stories. Colette was an up-and-coming singer, known for her soulful rendition of “We’ll Meet Again”. She was Senegalese-French, her father having fought for France during WWI in the Senegalese Tirailleurs; her mother was a seamstress from Hauts-de-France who had moved to Paris to work for a reputable modiste. Della had never before felt such love for a person, besides her children, and eventually realized her feelings were reciprocated. Della and Colette were well-known amongst “The Sewing Circle”, a group of Old Hollywood actresses who were openly (as openly as one could be at that time) Lesbian and Bisexual. Among them were such greats as Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich (who had long been rumored to have been more than just friends with Della), Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, and Katharine Hepburn.
Colette would go on to move in with Della at the chateau in 1953, were they would host lavish parties, filled with champagne and smoke, and the keenest minds of the time-period. No evening would be complete without Della accompanying Colette on the piano as she sung her latest hits. Eventually, Della would even adopt five-year-old twin girls, which was quite unusual for the time, and though it couldn’t be said legally, it was known that they raised them together. They were together for six years, until Colette would lose her beloved father to a long battle with cancer. She needed time alone and moved to London to record a new album. Della was heartbroken by her decision but didn’t let it get in the way of supporting her long-time love and their children.

Elise would become a smoky-voiced chanteuse like her mother, known most popularly for singing the theme song for the James Bond film, Nation of Destruction, in 1973 at twenty-five. She would never marry, but had two long term relationships, one with a French-Algerian model, Georges Nasri, who was the male face of Gucci for over fifteen-years; their relationship lasted from 1972 to 1978. They had a son together. Her most recent is with British art-house director, Carey Heathcote. Together, they had a baby girl.

Her original restaurant called “Méli-Mélo” was happily situated in bustling Paris, but now there is one in Hollywood, London, and even Tokyo. She married her sous-chef and they had four amazing children, who have inherited their parents’ love of food.
