Thought of this today--famous stars from the old days who uttered their first swear word in the post Hayes Code days.
I was watching PULP the other day and Mickey Rooney says "shit."
Other examples?

Clark Gable:
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn !"
also traditionally cited as the first time anyone said "Damn" in a movie.

And who'll ever forget when James Stewart uttered that immortal line in one of his last screen appearances in "The Magic Of Lassie" (1978):
"Hey kid, your fuckin' mutt just took a shit in my slipper."
OK I'm kidding.

In the most unlikely mainstream movie "The Honey Pot" 1967 a word was uttered, could be "virgin" but I'm not sure...but it was the first in a mainsteam movie...

There was a big fuss about "virgin" being said in The Moon is Blue (1953) First mainstream Hollywood film to use the word "virgin," after a battle with the official and unofficial censors. Also the first use of "seduce" and "mistress" (as a sexual partner). The movie was banned from theaters in Boston for using these words. Quotes here

Sexy Rexy says "damn" four times in the intro to his final number, "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" in My Fair Lady (1964). Marlene Dietrich yells "Damn you" several times at Charles Laughton in Witness For The Prosecution (1957).

Someone (I think Lee Marvin) says, "What the hell is going on here," in Robert Aldrich's "Attack" (1956).

All those disaster films of the 1970s were chock full of aging classic film actors. Did no one say, "Holy shit I'm being stung by killer bees" or "The whole f*#@! [I'm too delicate to type out the word] tower is on fire"?

[I'm too delicate to type out the word] tower is on fire"? I watched NETWORK last night on a station that "omits" words and it was distracting hearing all those "___damn" and other blank spots where we know darn well what is being said. Almost as distracting as the un-bleeped version of My Cousin Vinny .,. as funny as the over-kill swearing is in that one to show the crudeness of Nooo Yawkas. !

It was well past the Hays Code days, but I was a little surprised at hearing Faye Dunaway's line in Mommie, Dearest, when she addressed the Board of Directors of Pepsi: "Don't f___ with me, fellas. I've been to this rodeo before!" I didn't faint ... I'm a big girl, now. But, I think it took me aback, a little, because it was a woman delivering the line.

The first time I heard Robert Stack swear is when he said the line, "that's the craziest son of a bitch I've ever seen. Go get more like him," in 1979's 1941.

Don Ameche never had to swear when he was making all those Fox musicals with Alice Faye back in the 1930s and '40s, so he was naturally reluctant to utter the line "F*** him!" at the end of Trading Places (1983). He did that line in one take, and refused to do any more takes.

There's an audio reading of the Exorcist by Christopher Lee where he does all the swearing. I listened to excerpts. It sure does sound like him. If it is a parody they found the perfect imitator.

Was this John Wayne's first "s.o.b." ? But it sounds so right coming out of the Duke's mouth - or, more to the point - from Rooster Cogburn's mouth.
