Lupe Velez was the poster child for "Hollywood Girls Go Wild" during the golden age of Hollywood moviemaking. She was quite likely bi-polar and her mood swings alternated between withdrawn and depressed sometimes in private, to a spitfire wildcat in public. She was renowned for her hair-trigger temper, uncontrollable violence, and erratic actions. She would regularly beat and scratch her lovers for no apparent reason and would think nothing of engaging...

In fact, one of the men she married, Paul Bern, was seemingly incapable of physically...
