About Stars of the Golden Age: An Old Hollywood Podcast
Welcome to Stars of the Golden Age, a podcast about Old Hollywood and the classic film era, where you can learn about the lives of legends from film, music, and the birth of television during Hollywood’s Golden Age and the few years surrounding it. I will dive into the early lives that led to stardom for some of the biggest names in Old Hollywood, and the subsequent lives behind the scenes… and I’ll shine the light on some lesser known names as well. I will talk about their careers, of course, but my main focus is their lives away from the cameras. Join me weekly for Old Hollywood biographies like you've never heard them!
