Ep 231 Filmmakers Ben Hethcoat and Keita Ideno Discuss Coroner to the Stars

Dr. Thomas Noguchi was the chief medical examiner for LA County from 1967 to 1982. He oversaw the autopsies of some of Hollywood's most famous celebrity deaths, including Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, Natalie Wood, and John Belushi. Coroner to the Stars is a documentary showing parts of his amazing, and at times controversial, tenure as LA's coroner. We are speaking with the directors of the film, Ben Hethcoat and Keita Ideno. You can watch Coroner to the Stars on demand, for rent or purchase on YouTube, Amazon, etc. It is a fascinating look at one of the more interesting high-profile Asian American figures from that era; I highly recommend seeing it!
