I talk to author Stephen Tapert on his wonderful book Best Actress: The History Of Oscar Winning Women. It's so fab. We start with the number one winner and go through the thirty's, forty's, fifties and some sixties. We talk the Joan and Bette feud, was it really about Franchot Tone?? Those Oscar winning battling sisters Olivia and Joan and so much more. The is a great read and Stephen knows his stuff. I know you will have lots of fun listening. WE talked for over two hours...we could have gone longer.. We talk the upsets. We talk one actress who thought the night she won the Academy Award was the loneliest of her life. Betcha won't guess. Put on your movie star shades, sip some champagne, or coffee and give a listen. I had such a great time and learned so much.
Thanks so much to Stephen. You were such a delight.
Most thanks to my listeners. Keep hanging in. Lots of other great guests coming up..
Be safe.
