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 ... more

  • A Wonderful Gem

    I stumbled upon this podcast while looking for some interesting Hollywood history . The podcast is basically the history of WAMPAS and the WAMPAS Baby Stars . Over a 12 year existence there were 144 WAMPAS Baby Stars . This podcast pays heed to those 144 Baby Stars , giving each about a few minutes of attention . It’s interesting! The keystone of this whole podcast is Marg Craig the narrator. She has a wonderful voice and reads her copy with interesting changes in pitch that makes the podcast fu... more

  • Hello, friends and enemies - listen to this podcast!

    The Old Movie Lady (but you can call her Marg) sheds light on a less known corner of movie history with some amusing snark along the way I especially appreciate when she calls out the casual sexism that many of these baby stars struggled with.

  • I didn’t know how much I didn’t know

    It’s a truism at this point that the 2020s mirror the 1920s, but this belies just how strange and alien those times were compared with now. I’ve watched a fair few silent films, but I never appreciated what it was to make them—or to be someone trying to make it in that world.

    The Old Movie Lady Podcast delves deep, not just back in time, but into the lives of these very compelling young women who made it, or didn’t—mostly didn’t—in a world that was only a decade or two out of the Wild West. Th... more

  • Focused and funny!

    An excellent look into a particular corner of old Hollywood history! Well researched, poignant, often funny, it’s a must-listen for fans of silent era cinema.

    The podcast also paints a picture of a still-forming Hollywood and the culture that surrounded it. 1920’s America was rife with conflicts and contradictions that are echoed a century later.
