1926: Prisoners of their Reputations

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.
