Episode 20: Lights and Makeup

from Before We Were White · host Brian Halpin - Before We Were White

What connects The Mayflower with an iconic screen adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein?  And what connects the 1931 James Whale film Frankenstein with the 1956 Hollywood musical The King and I? Why do so many Americans show South Asian ancestry in DNA tests?  And where exactly does John Wayne fit into all of this? Sometimes the real horror is the story behind the actors and storytellers... Before We Were White takes a mid-point break from our four part series on the history of Christianity in America - "New, Improved, and Super-Sanctified".  Join us as we explore some of the darkness at the heart of Tinsel Town's Golden Era.
