HOLLYWOOD — The #MeToo movement is not a trial by judge or jury, but a condemnation in a court of public opinion. The subject of a #MeToo judgment could lose everything, even if they can prove their innocence, because the retraction never catches the front-page headline. Recent case in point is Armie Hammer who, despite such successes as “The Social Network” (2010) and “Call Me by Your Name” (2016), was accused of sexual abuse in an anonymous Instagram post. Even though it was never proven, he was dropped by his agency and cut from co-starring opposite Jennifer Lopez in “Shotgun Wedding” (replaced by Josh Duhamel). Hammer also lost “The Offer” (replaced by Miles Teller) and was dropped from the series “Gaslit” (replaced by Dan Stevens), the film “Billion Dollar Spy” and a Broadway play titled “The Minutes.” His role in “Death on The Nile” — completed before the pandemic shutdown — was impossible to reshoot, but Taika Waititi replaced him with Will Arnett in “Next Goal Wins.”

Needless to say, Hammer’s marriage fell apart, and when his wife, Elizabeth Chambers, moved to the Cayman Islands with their two children, he soon followed. However, Armie received no assistance from his famous family (you know, Arm & Hammer), so in order to support his family, he took a job at a Cayman Island resort selling timeshares from a cubby-hole office. As of now, no papers have been filed against him in any court, and no settlements of any kind were made. So much for “innocent until proven guilty!”

*** “The Fall Guy” was an ABC series from 1981-86 starring Lee Majors as Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stuntman by day and a bounty hunter by night. In 1981, Milton Bradley created a “Fall Guy” board game. A comic strip based on the series appeared in a “Look-in” magazine, and a British video game was developed by Elite Systems in 1984. In 2013, Dwayne Johnson was in talks to star in a film, but it never happened. Now, “The Fall Guy” will be a $100-million film starring Ryan Gosling as Colt Seavers. But here’s the catch ... this American-made series-turned-film about a Hollywood stuntman is going to be shot in Australia! The government in New South Wales is providing $14.5 million, and the Australian Federal Government is ponying up $30 million.

Paul Fletcher, member of parliament, expects “The Fall Guy” will inject more than $244 million into the Aussie economy by employing 1,000 Australians who will make up the cast and crew, as well as over 3,000 locals as background extras. With those figures, “The Fall Guy” is a man for all seasons!

• On Aug. 19, 1812, the U.S. Navy frigate Constitution, known as “Old Ironsides,” catches the British warship Guerriere 600 miles east of Boston where the Constitution delivered its first broadside. The British man-of-war was de-masted and rendered a wreck while the Constitution escaped with only minimal damage. • On Aug. 20, 1911, a dispatcher in The New York Times office sends the first telegram around the world to determine how fast a commercial message could be sent. After it traveled more than 28,000 miles, relayed by 16 different operators, the reply was received by the same operator 16.5 minutes later. • On Aug. 18, 1940, Walter Percy Chrysler, the founder of the American automotive corporation that bears his name, dies in New York. Chrysler was also known for financing the 77-story Art Deco Chrysler building skyscraper in midtown Manhattan. When completed in 1930, it was the tallest building in the world. • On Aug. 16, 1954, Sports Illustrated, a new magazine dedicated to covering sports, appears on American newsstands with a cover photo of Milwaukee Braves third baseman Eddie Mathews. Sports Illustrated did not make money for most of its first decade but eventually became the undisputed leader in American sports media. • On Aug. 15, 1961, two days after sealing off free passage between East and West Berlin with barbed wire, East German authorities begin building a wall — the Berlin Wall — to permanently close off access to the West. For the next 28 years, the wall was a literal “iron curtain” dividing Europe. • On Aug. 21, 1980, animal rights advocates Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco found People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Rising from humble beginnings, PETA will soon become the world’s foremost and most controversial animal rights organization. • On Aug. 17, 1993, Random House agrees to pay Gen. Colin Powell an advance of about $6 million for the rights to his autobiography, “My American Journey.” Powell’s book became the fastest-selling book in Random House history. © 2022 Hearst Communications, Inc.
