- Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor
Podcast giving false information on Monty. You are relying on Patricia Bosworth’s book which has been debunked by Monty’s family. They provide documentary evidence to contradict much of what she (and you for quoting from her book) are saying. There are tapes you can listen to that provide clarity on this incredible actor. Stop doing a hit job on him and do your research!!!!!

This has become one of my go to listens !! I started right from the beginning and have enjoyed every episode though I am still on season 3! However I do wonder during the Buster episode she disparages Adam Samdler and I wonder if now she regrets her choices!!

I miss this podcast so much. I have listened to each episode multiple times as the content & voice is amazing. I wish there were more stories of old Hollywood stars - I know Karina is probably tired of it but she really is the best. I wish a series about the beginnings of television too. Her book Seduced is great on audiobook. Love you Karina! & btw her voice is wonderful!!!!
