Lou Tellegen, stage actor, silent film star and one of the golden age of Hollywood’s most handsome and scandalous characters (having broken an engagement with Sarah Bernhardt [30-some years his senior] and married and divorced diva Geraldine Ferrar, among others) was disfigured in a horrible fire, lost in the fickle tides of fame and found in pile of his newspaper clippings and blood after stabbing himself seven times with a pair of dull sewing scissors. That is tragedy. What you have – is more of a comeuppance, asshole.
