This is my Halloween Special podcast..I have on Author Gregory William Mank who wrote so many wonderful books on classic horror films. He has also written biographies as well. His upcoming book will be on Dr Frankenstein himself, Colin Clive.
I had such a great time talking to Greg. He has met people from the classic horror genre and written some great books. We talked Boris Karloff and what a sweetie he was. Also what bothered him so much in Frankenstein that he regretted his entire life. We talk Bela Lugosi and his charming Dracula, Cat People, The Black Cat and so much more. Then he gives us his choices for a fun Halloween (or anytime) viewing..
Thanks so much to Greg for being such a great guest..He is welcome back anytime. He has written a number of wonderful books and will be releasing a biography on Dr Frankenstein himself, Colin Clive..
Thanks to my listeners. I really appreciate you giving a listen..

I had such a fabulous time talking to Meredith Ponedel about her Aunt Dorothy Ponedel. Dorothy was the first female makeup artists under contract at a Hollywood Studio. She became friends with many of her clients. Marlene Dietrich, Carole Lombard ,Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Blondell, Paulette Goddard, Gary Cooper. There are so many wonderful stories. Her aunt started writing her memoir but never finished. Meredith did a fabulous job of putting it all together. Meredith describes her life with Aunt Dottie and her own thoughts on the stars she met personally. there is part 2 about the friendship between Dottie and Judy Garland..I got a huge scoop I had never heard before and learned a new meaning for the word yummy. This is an interview for any classic movie fan. So much behind the scenes info. Meredith takes us back into the land of Classic Hollywood.
Any documentary filmmakers Dottie is a story to be told..
Thanks so much for Meredith getting up 6 AM to do this interview. You were so fabulous and funny..
Thanks to all the listeners. I know you enjoy Meredith as much as I did.

My pal and very knowledgable classic movie fan Steve Smith joined me to talk A Star Is Born in every incarnation going all the way back to what is sometimes called the first Star is Born. What Price Hollywood. The main characters are best friends. He's a washed up director and he makes her a star. She's known as Americas Pal. Of course theres tragedy as there is for all the Star IS Borns. We talk Bradley Cooper (Hubba Hubba) and Lady Gaga version as well.
Then we talk some precode giving props to Danny at www.precode.com. He has a list of all precodes and some amazing reviews.
We had so much fun yakking we went over 90 minutes. We decided to make it two parts. So today is part 1. We hope you enjoy.
Thanks so much to my pal Steve, you can catch him posting away at www.facebook.com/truestoriesoftinseltown. He will be on again soon. I will post part 2 tomorrow.
