True Stories Of Tinseltown

I Speak To My Pal John DiLeo About His New Book Not Even Nominated:40 Overlooked Costars Of Oscar Winning Performances..

John's latest book is a lot of fun. He chose some great performances that got no love from The Academy. We discuss some of my faves, including one of my autumn Halloween faves, Rosemary's Baby.  Why he thinks Mia should have gotten a nod for her Rosemary..As a PS. She got served divorce papers from Frank Sinatra while on the set..OUCH! 

I had a great time as usual as we yakked away.

Thanks so much to John.

Also thanks so much to all you that listen,
