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.

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

9/24/2022
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

9/7/2022
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.
