True Stories Of Tinseltown

Boze has been on the show I believe three times. This is Boze's 28th book.. WOWSA. It's very good and lots of info on Elvis. Its quotes people who knew him in childhood, just starting out, becoming a sensation all the way through his death. I learned a lot of things I never knew. Yes, he shot guns at TV's, and had a very young Priscilla move in with him. One thing you can never take away from Elvi...

Christina was such a great guest. I wanted to ask her a few more questions about her book Phantom Lady:Hollywood Producer..The Forgotten Woman Behind Hitchcock. Its a wonderful book and lots of juicy tidbits.  Christina was a good sport, we talked some good girls of Noir, first up Ella Raines, next Betty Shaefer. The million dollar question I asked Christina was did she think Betty would go back t...

I loved this book. It talks about Errols great love for his home, his two way mirrors, his alcohol and drug addiction and his love for young chickypoo's. Of course we get into his statutory rape trial. He found his next girlfriend at the cigarette counter in the court house. She was the ripe old age of 18...LEGAL.. WE talk Errols horrible demise. Then Robert tells about the following two owners. O...

In the first minute nothing was edited but I guess the download did. SPOOOOOOOOKKKY.. Not much was missed except I explain I've done no musical shows because it's not my fave genre. Never Fear...John is here and he knows them all. We talk Broadway to Screen adaptations. Poor Julie Andrews lost two of her Broadway shows to Audrey Hepburn in MY Fair Lady, and Vanessa Redgrave in Camelot. WE talk dub...

Stone and I were merrily talking horror films. We had gone about 45:00 minutes. All of a sudden I see it only recorded 32.00 minutes. We had to go back to figure where to start off again. Then this piece of wire came out again. It has NEVER happened during one of my podcasts, let alone happen twice. I was on it right away. So I edited and hopefully it flows. Also when I listened, sentences where r...

It's Spooktacular 2021. I'm joined by fellow horror movie lover and my pal Stone Wallace. He joins in with spooktacular laughter and does A Fab Dracula...Bela of course.. We talk movies from the 20's, only two. Then the 30's, 40's and fifties.. I make an embarrassing confession.. I think Stone was secretly disgusted HA! The Wolfman and his clothes. Nostradamus, my mistake, Nosferatu..He was one sc...

This is Robert's fourth time on the show and the fourth book we've discussed. His latest  is Warrior...Audrey Hepburn is a great companion piece to Dutch Girl. Her son Luca called his mom a badass and wanted the world to know all the courageous and kind things she did as the Ambassador Of Unicef. She traveled war zones, met the starving populations of so many countries. During her final visit befo...

Stone and I talk Molls and Muggs. We also digress and talk other old Hollywood gossip, BUT mainly our Molls and Muggs. Claire Trever was two kinda molls. One was a good soul, the other bad to the bone. We talk Gun crazy, Scarface, Detour, Stone's absolutely numero uno Moll he loves to loathe. She is a bad. Its fun. I missed Stone and we really get into it.  Thanks so much to Stone for being the be...

I had the wonderful Boze Hadleigh bringing in my new Season. He is wonderful and I LOVED his book Scandals, Secrets, And Swan Songs. Boze has 101 chapters and they are little tidbits about the biggest classic Hollywood stars. We talk suicides, dying from dieting, accidents, murders. You name it Boze has it. This is Boze's 27th book. All his books are great, fun and juicy reading. We talk Tyrone Po...

Our Summer series is ovah. WE both had to postpone for various reasons but I'm posting the day before Fall. Woo Hoo!! April was a trooper because she was not feeling her best.

April and I talk Sultry Brunette's of Classic Hollywood. This time is our lovely full figured girl (playtex bra commercials)Jane Russell. She was discovered by Howard Hughes and her memoir is very honest. Juicy even. I give her major props on her book.  She talks abortion, infidelity and so much more..If the part about Jane and brief statement was not cut, it was in no way political or judgmental....

Happy Birthday to Mae. I never forget Mae's B'day because it is the same as mine!! I love sharing my day with the ever so fab Mae!!    

I absolutely loved Joan who has the fab blog Deranged LA Crimes:True 20th Century Tales Of Murder Mayhem, political corruption, and celebrity scandal.  We talked about Clara Bow and her secretary/friend..all I can say is with friends like Daisy DeVoe the more you like dogs. It was a scandal that hit the front page. This is when tales of Clara's romps with dogs and taking on the whole USC football...

We talk about Peggy Ann as she escapes her mom and moves to independence. Unfortunately, it was no bed of roses. 

I talk to the sweetest woman, Sandy Grabman about her book Plain Beautiful: The Life Of Peggy Ann Garner. Peggy had a pretty rough life. Since she was a child her mom was in and out of the slammer. Her whole life was Peggy and felt she was a star too. Peggy's incredibly tumultuous adulthood, drugs and alcohol, and her own daughter doing drugs at eight. Its a fabulous book, but a sad story.  Thanks...
