TRUE STORIES OF TINSELTOWN: I SPEAK TO AUTHOR JOHN DILEO ABOUT HIS BOOK TEN MOVIES AT A TIME: A 350-FILM JOURNEY THROUGH HOLLYWOOD AND AMERICA 1930–1970 PART 1

had so much fun talking to author John Dileo about his book Ten Movies At A Time: A 350-Film Journey Through Hollywood And America 1930-1970. We talked almost two hours about the movies and his book and we did not not get even get out of the forties. Thats a lot of movies. I cut into two parts for easier listening. John knows his movies, his reviews are very good. He does not mince words, if he loves you he loves you, if he does not like an actor or movie we know it. Adolphe Menjou and Barbara Stanwyck.?!? It's also a historical telling of the movies that were popular during certain periods of American History. It is a fun book. I loved it. John was a great guest and he will be back on to discuss other books he's written. 
Thanks so much to John for being a trooper and a great guest. I know you'll enjoy him as much as I did.

TRUE STORIES OF TINSELTOWN: I TALK TO AUTHOR STONE WALLACE ABOUT HIS GREAT BIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE RAFT. HE WAS A GREAT DANCER, A LOVER, A MOB NOT WANNA BE AND A REAL PUSSYCAT....

I speak to Author Stone Wallace about his great biography of George Raft- The Man That Would Be Bogart. I was not the biggest George Raft fan but I thought he was fascinating. After reading his bookI felt I knew George and liked him a lot. He was a complex man. He was sensitive, insecure and one hell of a dancer. We talk his hardscrabble upbringing in Hells Kitchen. How he got into dancing. When and how he got into movies. The broads and dames he loved and lost. I truly felt sad for George. His hanging with gangsters made his life harder then need be. My armchair shrink thinks he wanted away from these guys but was afraid of what they might do. We talk it all. 

Thanks so much to Stone Wallace for coming on the show.

Thanks so much to the listeners. Even if you don't really care about George Raft I think you would like learning about him.
Thanks tons,
xoxo

Leah Williams from the fabulous blog Cary Grant Won't eat you and facebook site of the same name joins me again to discuss women who love too much in Classic Movies. There are SOOOOOO many but we each got to choose three. We had to be sure the other had watched them. It was so hard to choose only three and which three but we did it. We talk roles by Gene Tierney, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Irene Dunne and Rita Hayworth. It was lots of fun. I want to do another women who love to much and a men who love too much in classic films. There are lots of guys that have been mezmerized by screen dames that are not exactly women you bring home to mother. See if you agree with our choices..

Thanks so much to Leah. She is a very busy woman but she found th time to join me again.

I TALKED TO THE FABULOUS FEISTY AND ADORABLE TELEVISION ICON ED ASNER AND NOW WE ARE ENGAGED…WHO KNEW??

Donnie could not be at my interview with Ed Asner so I got Ed all to myself.  I adore Ed and was beyond thrilled to speak to him.  We talked about  Ed being the only man to have won seven nighttime Emmys, five were for playing Lou Grant. I found out he really did like spunk. We talked MTM, and all the gang, his real life date with Mary, his activism, his toes and my worrying that I could not do the Heimlich maneuver long distance as Ed was chomping on werthers. He was funny, smart, adorable and somehow in between we got engaged. If you love Ed Asner this is for you.
Thanks so much to Ed for coming on the show. I'm waiting for my engagement ring in the mail. He is a big ole teddy bear! I LOVE ED!!

Thanks most to the listeners. I've got a motley crew of guests coming up. I think you'll like them.

THE BROADS HAD A FREE SATURDAY NIGHT SO WE DRANK VINO AND TALKED SPACE FORCE, THE DONALD, ANIMAL RIGHTS AND THE RESULTS OF APOLLOS DNA..SO WHO'S THE BABY DADDY...

We had an impromptu show because Michelle was family free and I was home just drinking some vino. We talk about women being swindled by creeps they fall in love with, either in person or most often on line. If he seems too good to be true..BEWARE.  If some dude starts sniffing for dough amscray. We talk animal rights, Donalds Space Force, the royal minute, white supremicists, Britain names a lonliness minister. How sad. lonliness is at epidemic preportions all over the world. Ironic that we have social media, so many ways to contact peiople yet people are so lonely. Social media makes it very easy to avoid in person contact with people. I'm amazed at when there is person tobperson in the same room people text and constantly check their phone. Good for Theresa May for trying to help with this very important issue. We talk lots more..

TRUE CRIME: I TALK TO AUTHOR GARY MEESE ABOUT HIS BOOK ON WEST MEMPHIS 3…HE SAYS GUILTY

I had the pleasure of talking to Gary Meese two times. We have 2 podcasts devoted to this still contoversialcase after 25 years. The poor boys that were murdered at age 8 would now be 33. Its such a horrible story. 

Gary wrote a book I highly recommend 

The Case Against the West Memphis 3 Killers: A Condensed, Revised Version of Blood on Black and Where the Monsters Go

We talk why he thinks that Damien Echols, Jessie Miskelley and Jason Baldwin are guilty. We talk the other suspects and the Alford plea. There is so much info out there on this website http://callahan.mysite.com/wm3/img/exh500.html. This case became a cause celeb after the HBO documentary Paradise Lost. HBO did two other documentaries on the case.  West Of Memphis was produced by Damien and one of his famous supporters Peter Jackson. There was a movie made that was pro West Memphis 3, not guilty and numerous books pro and con. Gary knows much about this case. 

Thanks to Gary for coming on show TWICE because of missing moments. You are a doll!!

I'd like to say the names of the three boys that were brutally murdered. Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Chris Byers that had their lives brutally taken from them. It breaks my heart. Often times the only three mentioned are Damien, Jessie and Jason. Its all about these three i8 year old boys. 

 

Thanks for listening. Part two will be up a little later.

MY GUEST WAS THE VERY COOL KATHY GARVER, MY BUD POSEIDON WAS MY COHOST, WE TALKED CLASSIC MOVIES AND UNCLE BEEYOOO….

I had my dear pal Poseidon from the very funny blog Poseidons Underground as my co-host. We were delighted to have the very busy Kathy Garver, best known as Cissy in Family Affair. Kathy started acting at three years old. She was in some pretty big flicks. She was the double for Pearl, the adorable tyke being menaced by one of my dreamboats Robert Mitchum In Night Of The Hunter Kathy was in the boat scene when they are floating away from their moms murderer and their fiendish stepfather. She told us about her memories of Robert Mitchum, Charles Laughton, who directed this film and never directed again. Also we head what a sweetie Lillian Gish was. It was not well received at the time but today it is considered a great film and that Charles Laughton did a great job. The cinematography  was amazing. Then she told us about her scene in The Bad Seed she did with Shelley Fabares calling Rhoda (Patty McCormick) a murderer. The scene got cut. She was devastated and her mom wisely told her the scene was too good and they did not want them upstaging Rhoda. It worked. After The Bad Seed she played a slave girl in The Ten Commandments and told us about the actors there. We finally got To Family Affair. WE talked Brian Keith AKA as Uncle Beeeyooooo. Sebastian Cabot and the adorable cherubs Buffy and Jody. Poseidon told us he does not write sad stuff but did for Family Affair. We talked the amazing guest stars, Ida Lupino, Myrna Loy (who Knew) and Heather Angel as Mr French's veddy english nanny Miss Haverstraw. I taled to Poseidon on an earlier podcast that the saddest major fiml actor on one of the shows was Dana Andrews. He appeared as a Friend of Beeyooooo and they moppets found out he was in the slammer for a bit for stealing money from his company. The horror part was Buffy and Jody decide to hide their piggy banks from Dana, the thief..Poor Dana had to watch these two kids talking about him as they hide their piggy banks. His face..  Kathy had to leave us after a half an hour so Poseidon and I talked more about some of these things.Also my love for David Selby. Rumors etc.. I want to thank Kathy Garver for taking time out of her busy squedule to come on the show. My dear Poseidon for being a great co-host.  Mostly our listeners. Thanks for listening Grace xoxo

I TALK TO AUTHOR LISA IANNUCCI ABOUT HER BOOK ON LOCATION:A FILM AND TV LOVERS TRAVEL GUIDE

I had a great time talking to Lisa Iannucci about her book On Location: A FILM AND TV LOVERS TRAVEL GUIDE. She told me about attending The Lucille Ball Festival in Lucy's hometown of Jamestown, New York . I so want to go and stomp some grapes. She and her very game hubby took it on and had a blast. We talked Clark Gables house and hometown, The Ava Gardner Museum, The Hollywood Museum that has so much great classic movie memorabilia. The Gone with the Wind Museum, the Andy Griffith museum, who knew, there is even a Don Knotts museum. Theres an Alfred Hitchcock Walking tour and of course visiting the graves of the stars. She has all great places to visit in the United  States in State alphabetical order. There are a ton of great places I'd like to check out. She gives all the info you need. She got to Bedrock and slid down a huge dinosaurs tale. FUN!! I highly recommend Lisa's book. There are so many places you would never know about. She is even going to do a second book because there are so many places. 
Thanks so much Lisa! You were so great.
