Did you know

Edit
  • Trivia
    His bad behavior (which included arrests for alcohol and drug possession) not only wrecked his own career, but inadvertently derailed William Boyd's career as well. When the first stories broke about "Stage" Boyd's escapades, the photos splashed across the newspapers were of the wrong Boyd. The day before, Boyd (I) had signed a large contract with RKO, one that was immediately terminated by invoking the morals clause. A judge dictated he be professionally credited with the "stage" moniker in 1935 to differentiate the two men. Ultimately it didn't matter as he'd die prematurely from a variety of ailments related to alcohol and drug abuse.
