Description

A new year and a "staggering" group of Wampas Baby Stars, The Old Movie Lady tells you all about how audiences laughed upon hearing the voice of a goddess, a 175-grand win-fall, an infuriating way to hire someone, and a good girl who no one believed could be bad! All this and more, featuring John Barrymore, Cecil B. DeMille, and a Rudolph Valentino quote. This episode contains mention of an unconfirmed suicide attempt, alcohol abuse, and brief mention of domestic abuse, as well as (mild) language that may be inappropriate for some listeners. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Starting in 1922, the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers released an annual list of the 13 young women they predicted would be the next big Hollywood stars... But who were these starlets? How were their images shaped by the media of the time? Just how right were the Wampas... and who the heck do they think they are, anyway? Delivered by Marg The Old Movie Lady, with her trademark sense of humour and research brought on by intense hyperfocus, this is The Old Movie Lady Podcast: The Wampas Frolic! Hosted on Acast.
