“ALMOST MARRIED TO THE MOB: HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES WHO DATED MOBSTERS” - 1/19/2026 (123) In this episode, we slip into the shadows where classic Hollywood glamour meets organized crime, exploring the classic Hollywood actresses who found themselves romantically entangled with real-life mobsters. At a time when studios tightly controlled female stars' images, these notorious bad boys offered something intoxicatingly different: raw power beyond the backlot, fierce loyalty, protection from predators both on and off the screen, and a rebellious thrill that defied Hollywood's carefully scripted rules. Drawn by charisma, thrills and maybe even a little danger, these women navigated a world where diamonds, nightclubs, and whispered threats coexisted with premieres and press junkets—and where love could be as risky as it was seductive. This week, we're looking at the romantic entanglements that occurred when the mob meets Hollywood.

A woman played a female role on the London stage for the very first time on December 8th, 1660, as Desdemona in a revival of Shakepeare's Othello. The actress was probably Margaret Hughes - though nobody bothered to record this at the time, so we can't be sure. After the 1660 restoration of King Charles II, theatres opened their doors for the first time after 16 years of Puritan suppression. Charles, who had been exiled in France, admired continental theatre, where women had already been performing for over a century, and so England's actresses were finally permitted to follow suit. Arion, Rebecca and Olly uncover the stories of those pioneering performers who combatted sexism and sexual harassment to have their time in the limelight; consider the fate of the ‘pretty boys in petticoats' once real women were allowed on stage; and, once again, marvel at Samuel Pepys's inability to keep his sexual urges out of his diaries… Further Reading: • 'Who was the first Shakespearean actress?'

It's Dodgers Night in LA! Mark Thompson is in studio co-hosting with Tim Conway Jr. Alex Stone is on the phone to talk about Tilly Norwood, the A.I. Hollywood actress causing a stir in Tinseltown. She looks incredibly real, but unlike any other aspiring actress with an Instagram account and Facebook page, "Tilly" is totally computer generated – and Hollywood agents are interested. It's also causing fresh issues for the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA. Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny will be performing at the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show next year, and some people aren't happy about that. Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium in the Bay Area will be hosting the Super Bowl LX next year, and some locals don't want it – including the mayor.
