Explain Black Dahlia movie? Spoilers/details?

Ok, I saw the movie but didn't understand it. Who was the gardener? Was the guy with the ruined face the silent film actor? If not, who was the guy with the ruined face and who was the silent film actor? Who was Georgie and how did he fit into anything? Why did the one cop go off the deep end about the girl who got killed (the Black Dahlia) and how did he get the money?

Update:

Send me a message if this question is closed but you have some answers, ok?

    AS far as Georgie and he was not the actual actor in the silent movie..he worked on it but did not star in it. Georgie (the guy with the ruined face) was friends with the rich guy and had an affair with the rich guys wife in which they had a child together(Hillary Swank's character) George and the rich guys wife supposedly did the actual killing....Georgie because he was driven crazy by the fact that the rich guy had disfigured him and the rich guys wife went crazy too and she thought that E.Short reminded her of her daughter (Swank) and she was jealous of her because Swanks character and the rich guy were "involved" ..if you know what I mean!

    As for the one cop going off the deep end...maybe he felt sorry for E.Short for something that happened in his past..remember this is based on a James Ellroy novel and many of his male characters dont like people who abuse women...like "Bud" in LA Confidential!

    The one cop got the money from a bank robbery he stopped...they didnt turn in the money to the police. The Bank robber was the guy- Bobby Dewitt

    ***Major spoiler alert***

    Mr. Ice, the cop played by Aaron Eckhart, had been in cahoots with a bad guy who had pimped out and cut up Scarlett Johansson's character. They had some money from a bank robbery the bad guy got sent up for. Also, Ice had been tipped off by Hilary Swank's character's sister that the mother and George had been seen in the company of the Black Dahlia. George was Swank's father and both he and the mother (played by Fiona Shaw) were absolutely nuts. They were the ones responsible for the murder.

    I haven't seen the new movie yet. It was a TV movie way back in the 80's, I think. Lucie Arnaz, Lucille Ball's daughter, played Elizabeth Short. It was a great movie, but I only remember highlights. It is a mystery that has intrigued me for years. I've got to see the new release!!

    if you have blonde hair that will naturally get bleached by the sun in the summer. There has been this guy in my class who also had golden blonde hair that has been a medium brown near the bottom part. When he came back to college after summer vacation, it was practically platinum blonde!

    Exactly why is everyone with blond, why aren't you just have jet black tresses with some blonde or blonde hair with some jet black hair. Today you don't have to choose.
