True Stories Of Tinseltown

Part 1 I SpeakTo Author Ryan Uytdewilligen About His Book Killing John Wayne: The Making of the Conqueror..Truly One Of the Worst Films Of All Time..Did Film Kill John Wayne??

I talk to Ryan Uytdewilligan about his wonderful book Killing John Wayne: The Making Of The Conquerer. 

It's a fascinating read about one of the most horrible films ever made. John Wayne as Gengis Kahn..What was he thinking?? Also about the film location being where nuclear fallout was. Did over 200 + people die of cancer that worked on the  film because of the nukes? Was it more then 200 +?? Did John Wayne get cancer because of that film, or cigarettes, or a combo of both?? Was Howard Hughes an indirect murderer?? Its also very timely because of the Armageddon talk, then the nomageddon the next day?? 

I want to thank Ryan so much for coming on the show. You can get his book anywhere books are sold.

I Speak To Brian Hannan From The Blog The Magnificent 60s About The Making Of The Misfits…Clark Gable And Marilyn Monroes Final Film..One more time!!

Here we go again!! Fingers crossed this posts everywhere. Its supposed to finally fixed.

I have sent this show out so many times. The fabulous Rachel emailed me that none of my shows had been loaded to other podcast hosting sites. If this goes through I will fill you in later. Thanks so much RACHEL!!!

show description

I found the delightful Brian while I was searching for info on a really creepy B flick, Stark Fear. When I found the blog I spent a couple hours reading Brian's reviews and behind the scenes info. I had watched the Misfits when I was much younger and did not like it. Now that I'm older, know more about the actors, and life I was deeply moved. Clark Gable thought it was his best film. Unfortunately, he died two weeks after filming at the age of 59. Lots of stuff on Marilyn and her marriage unraveling on the set, and on Montgomery Clift, who Marilyn famously said, was the only person she knew worse off than she was.

Brian is from Scotland and had issues with his microphone, but we were able to get his sound up. 

Thanks so much to Brian, he's a sweetie. You can find his blog here

I Talk To Alexis Hunter About Her Book Being Reissued..Gorgeous Photo’s of She And Joi, And Dangerous Body Practices

My friend Alexis Hunter is back. Did I ever tell you we were really friends?? HA!!!! 

Alex's book has been reissued with a new chapter and great pics of her and Joi. WE discuss the silicone injections that helped kill Joi, and the horrible face and body trends that have people running to unsavory "Doctors" and sometimes paying the ultimate price. Big Butts are in, are they now that Kim and Khloe Kardashian have had their butt implants removed?? Silicone and CEMENT are a few of the things that have been injected into women's bodies. Do sex symbols always have to have big breasts? Joi and other's certainly thought so, and were under the pressure for the biggest breasts. 

We talk love, dangerous procedures, Alex having a true life after Joi died, which was fifty years ago. 

It's fun and also serious about the lengths, mostly women go to, to have face and body beautiful. 

I will post pic of cement lady on www.facebook.com/truestoriesoftinseltown

Thanks so much to Alex for being a wonderful guest. Her 

Thanks mostly to my audience! Who loves ya? I do!!

I talk to Author Jerome Charyn About His Fiction/Non Fiction Book Big Red..Lots Of Rita Hayworth And Orson Welles Talk

I talk to Jerome Charyn, about his Book Big Red. Its fiction, but so much in non fiction. Our narrator is Rusty, a lesbian that just loves her some corduroy pants.  Harry Cohn Asks Rusty to become Rita's private secretary, but really to spy on Orson and Rita. True talk about their marriage, the making of The Lady From Shanghai, renting Errol Flynn's boat, his feelings about Orson and Rita, and her unhappy marriage to her second husband. We  also talk about Rita's early onset Alzheimers. So much good stuff. Book is fun and sad. Poor Rita. 

We talked about Jeromes favorite movie..Citizen Kane, I don't agree that its the best, (I had to put up my dukes) but I don't know which movie is, its all relative..I personally HATE Gone With The Wind, and for a long time critics thought it was the best flick of all time. 

 

Lots of Hollywood info and we never really got all the info on why Jerome does not think Classic Hollywood was "The Golden Age".  

 

Thanks so much to Jerome. He was a delight.

Sloan De Forest Is My Guest And We Talk About Tom Conway..We Love Him..He Was Called The Nice George Sanders. George Was His Bro..

Sloan and I talk  about a mutual deceased dreamboat Tom Conway. Tom is indeed George Sanders brother, and people behind their backs called him the nice George Sanders. George was fab in all his films. No one played a better cad. There is barely any info on Tom, but we got some. He was always good in his films, even stinkers like The Bride Of The Gorilla..It's on YouTube..So have a listen and checkout some of Tom's films. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLOAN!!!!

I Talk To Actor And Cardiologist Rico Simonini On Producing And Starring As Old Blue Eyes Himself In Film Frank And Ava

Yes, It's really Rico..Took a bit but it's worth it..

This is a great tale of a guy from Brooklyn, that wanted to be a DR. He moved to L.A. and became a cardiologist and ended up starring in Frank And Ava. You will love Rico...I love that name. He is adorable. We also talked about how playing an icon that everybody knows, and loves is not easy. I believe there is extra scrutiny put on the actor. Good listen.

You can catch Frank And Ava on Amazon Prime.
