Constance Bennett's deal with Warner Bros. became a Hollywood scandal after Louella Parsons estimated that the star would earn $30,000 a week. Few reporters told the whole story. Two Against the World (1932) was her second picture on the deal. In the first half. Connie's performance anticipates the bratty screwball heiress types which were later portrayed by Claudette Colbert and Carole Lombard. And in the second half, she embodies the noble women of Depression-era melodramas starring Margaret Sullivan and Irene Dunne. Special thanks to Thomas O'Mahony for sound editing the episode.

Stretching across eight states, this iconic road has been the setting for countless ghost stories, eerie legends, and unexplained phenomena. Travelers venturing down Route 66 have reported ghostly hitchhikers, abandoned towns frozen in time, and roadside motels where spectral figures linger long after check-out. Could the highway itself be haunted? Some believe that the long, lonely stretches of road, once bustling with life, now carry the echoes of the past—spirits forever trapped along America's most famous highway.   Jennifer and Joe explore some of the most infamous haunted locations along Route 66, starting with the legendary Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, often dubbed "America's Most Haunted Hotel." Guests have reported apparitions, disembodied voices, and even ghostly hands touching them in the night. Moving westward, they delve into the eerie tales surrounding the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, New Mexico, a favorite stop for Hollywood stars in its heyday, now said to be haunted by restless spirits of guests who never left. Then, there's the Oatman Hotel in Arizona, where the ghost of Clark Gable's late wife, Carole Lombard, is said to roam the halls, and where phantom laughter is often heard in empty rooms.   But it's not just hotels—Route 66 is dotted with ghost towns, abandoned buildings, and spectral roadways where the past refuses to be forgotten. The abandoned town of Texola, Oklahoma, once a thriving community, now stands eerily quiet, save for reports of shadowy figures moving through the crumbling structures. In Missouri, the Tri-County Truck Stop has gained a reputation as a paranormal hotspot, with former employees and visitors claiming to see ghostly figures walking through the empty diner late at night. And in Illinois, the Cahokia Mounds, an ancient Native American site just off Route 66, carries an air of mystery and supernatural energy, with visitors experiencing strange whispers and unexplained lights.   As Jennifer and Joe uncover these chilling stories, they ask—could Route 66 be more than just a road? Could it be a supernatural highway, where spirits roam and the past refuses to fade? Tune in as they share spine-tingling encounters, discuss the history behind these haunted places, and invite listeners to share their own ghostly experiences from the road. If you dare to travel Route 66, be prepared—you might just bring back more than memories.   Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

During the heyday of Hollywood's studio system, stars were carefully cultivated and promoted, but at the price of their independence. This familiar narrative of Hollywood stardom receives a long-overdue shakeup in Emily Carman's new book. Far from passive victims of coercive seven-year contracts, a number of classic Hollywood's best-known actresses worked on a freelance basis within the restrictive studio system. In leveraging their stardom to play an active role in shaping their careers, female stars including Irene Dunne, Janet Gaynor, Miriam Hopkins, Carole Lombard, and Barbara Stanwyck challenged Hollywood's patriarchal structure. Through extensive, original archival research, Independent Stardom: Freelance Women in the Hollywood Studio System (U Texas Press, 2016) uncovers this hidden history of women's labor and celebrity in studio-era Hollywood. Carman weaves a compelling narrative that reveals the risks these women took in deciding to work autonomously. Additionally, she looks at actresses of color, such as Anna May Wong and Lupe Vélez, whose careers suffered from the enforced independence that resulted from being denied long-term studio contracts. Tracing the freelance phenomenon among American motion picture talent in the 1930s, Independent Stardom rethinks standard histories of Hollywood to recognize female stars as creative artists, sophisticated businesswomen, and active players in the then (as now) male-dominated film industry.

Published in May 2024, 'Hollywood Pride' presents a history of film from the dawn of cinema to the "pansy craze" of the 1930s and the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s, all the way up to today. Illustrated with more than 175 colour and black-and-white images, 'Hollywood Pride' points to the bright future of LGBTQ+ representation in cinema, by revealing the story of the community's inclusion and erasure, its visibility and invisibility, and its triumphs and tragedies. ................

EPISODE 23 - “I Coulda Been a Contender: Classic Casting That Almost Happened” - 02/19/2024 It is well documented that the film “Gone With The Wind” started filming before an actress was cast in the lead role of Scarlett O'Hara. Producer DAVID O. SELZNICK made a spectacle out of who would win the coveted role. It became a national obsession. He considered everyone from TALLULAH BANKHEAD to BETTE DAVIS to LUCILLE BALL. He eventually narrowed the field to three finalists: PAULETTE GODDARD, JOAN BENNETT, and JEAN ARTHUR. But in the eleventh hour, a new contender, an unknown Brit named VIVIEN LEIGH, swept in and won the role. Listen as we discuss, debate, and guffaw over other casting choices that almost happened in some of your favorite film classics.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Hollywood's First Choices: How The Greatest Casting Decisions Were Made (1994), by Jeff Burkhart and Bruce Stuart; Casting Might Have Beens (2005), by Eila Mell; Jean Arthur: The Actress Nobody Knew (2004), by John Oller; George Raft: The Man Who Would Be Bogart (2015), by Stone Wallace; Life is a Banquet (1974), by Rosalind Russell; Joan Crawford: The Enduring Star (2009), by Peter Cowie; Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film (2021), by Alan Rode; Judy Holliday (1982), by Will Holtzman; Close-up on Sunset Boulevard: Billy Wilder, Norma Desmond, and the Dark Hollywood Dream (2002), by Sam Staggs Montgomery Clift: Beautiful Loser (1992), by Barney Hoskyns; Mike Nichols: A Life (2021), by Mark Harris; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Scarface (1932), starring George Raft, Paul Muni, Ann Dvorak, and Boris Karloff; Dead End (1937), starring Silvia Sidney, Joel McCrea, Humphrey Bogart, Wendy Barrie, and Claire Trevor; The Maltese Falcon (1941), starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Elisha Cook, Jr, and Lee Patrick  The Maltese Falcon (1931), starring Ricardo Cortez and Bebe Daniels; High Sierra (1941), starring Humphrey Bogart, Ida Lupino, Joan Leslie, Alan Curtis, Cornel Wilde, Arthur Kennedy, Willie Best, Elisabeth Risdon, and Henry Travers; His Girl Friday (1940), starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy; Twentieth Century (1934), starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard; Mildred Pierce (1945), starring Joan Crawford, Ann Blyth, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Eve Arden, Bruce Bennett, and Lee Patrick;  Sunset Boulevard (1950), starring Gloria Swanson, William Holden, Erich von Stroheim, and Nancy Olson;    From Here To Eternity (1953); starring Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, Donna Reed, and Ernest Borgnine; Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf (1966), starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal, and Sandy Dennis; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katharine Ross;#023: "I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDER!" --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

January 23, 1938 - Jack Benny plays a newspaper man in this week's drama. References include detective Charlie Chan, movie stars, Paul Muni, Clark Gable, Robet Taylor, Bing Crasby, Carole Lombard, Greta Garbo and Gale Patrick. Also magazines Field and Stream and Woman's Home Companion. 

And now back to your regularly scheduled program. Hosts Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler return to their examination of the last century in film with a look at 1938. Brad recommended a movie that neither he nor Jake had seen before in My Man Godfrey. They talk about the power of the Thin Man, William Powell, and the tour-de-force performances by the female cast, including Carole Lombard, Gail Patrick, and the indominable Alice Brady. They talk about the peculiar place in Oscar history this Gregory La Cava film occupies, and The theme of the haves vs. the have-nots continues in Jake's pick for the week, Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times. They marvel at how a 90-year-old movie can look like it came out today, at the power of Chaplin's comedic persona, and at the startling beauty of Paulette Goddard (and at her character's baffling backstory). Other movies mentioned in this episode: Sabotage (1936), the Great Ziegfeld (1936) Silver Linings Playbook (2012), Godzilla Minus One (2023).

Alice Marble ruled the tennis court in the 30s and 40s. In 1939, she was ranked number 1 in the world. Among her most important and lasting accolades is her fight against the color line in Tennis in 1950. She hung out with the likes of Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, and she even had her own line of clothes. Yet, she is largely forgotten. Blais is working to fix that!

William Gargan appeared in more than fifty films in the 1930s. In between, he and Mary's second son, Leslie, was born on June 28th, 1933. The Gargans bought the late Jean Harlow's house at 512 North Palm Drive for twenty-seven thousand dollars. They'd live there for the next quarter century. Bill's parents passed away in the middle of the decade. Gargan soon signed a Warner Bros. two-year contract that paid him one-hundred-thousand dollars, turning down the role of Duke Mantee in Robert Sherwood's The Petrified Forest on Broadway to sign. The role went to friend Humphrey Bogart. For more info on Bogie, tune into Breaking Walls episode 140. Bill made his Lux Radio Theater debut on March 6th, 1939 in an adaptation of One Way Passage. Gargan hated working for Warner Bros. He likened it to sleeping on a bed of nails. The press labeled him “Bill Gargan, King of the B movies.” He later broke his contract. Perhaps his most famous role was as Joe in the 1940 RKO film, They Knew What They Wanted. Gargan received third billing behind Carole Lombard and Charles Laughton and was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. The plot is: while visiting San Francisco, Tony Patucci — played by Laughton — an aging illiterate winegrower from the Napa Valley, sees waitress Amy Peters — played by Lombard — and falls in love. Tony gets his foreman Joe, a womanizer, to write her a letter in Tony's name. Tony's courtship culminates with a proposal. When she requests a picture of him, one of Joe is sent. Amy goes to Napa to be married, only to find that Joe isn't her husband-to-be. She decides to go through with the marriage. However, while Tony is in bed after an accident, Amy and Joe have an affair. Two months later Amy discovers she's pregnant. Upon learning of the infidelity, Tony pummels Joe, but forgives Amy, insisting they still be married. Unable to forgive herself, she leaves with the priest. Meanwhile, Gargan did more radio. He appeared on the January 4th, 1940 episode of The Good News with his former co-star Ann Sothern. Good News aired Thursdays at 9PM eastern time over NBC's Red Network. Its 16.9 rating was twelfth overall. Good News was the first major collaboration of a movie studio and a broadcasting system for a commercial sponsor.” The idea was, simply put, to “dazzle 'em with glitter.” MGM produced. Every star except Garbo was available. There would be songs, stories, comedy, and drama. In short, it promised an intimate glimpse of Hollywood with its hair down. The result cost Maxwell House $25,000 a week. Gargan was back on the program the following week in a one-act play opposite Lurene Tuttle. Bill was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar, won by good friend Walter Brennan for The Westerner. He later joked that Brennan spent ninety minutes spitting and Gargan lost to a spittoon. The joking was short-lived. Gargan would soon begin work on another film with the appropriate title, I Wake Up Screaming.

With Summer in full swing, I thought I'd give you a short mini-in-between episode about one of my favorite places in California, Santa Barbara. Enjoy!  In the 1870s, eucalyptus trees were planted on the grounds of what would become known as the American Riviera in Santa Barbara, California. With the arrival of the rail line in 1897, tourists began to venture into the area, and in 1913 the Flying A studio was busy turning out silent movies in the complex they built in the area of Mission, State, Padre, and Chapala Streets in Santa Barbara. By the time they closed in 1922, Flying A produced more than 1200 silent films, primarily Westerns, adaptations of popular novels and stage plays, slapstick comedies, and more.   According to the Lompoc Record, from 1912 to 1919, Santa Barbara was considered the film capital of the world. Meanwhile, the eucalyptus trees in the Riviera were flourishing, and the grounds around them were home to a state school. Just across the road, James Warren, President of the County National Bank, built dormitories and several ten-room houses and cottages on his property to house faculty and students.  By 1917 the student housing proved unsuccessful, and Mr. Warren announced plans to develop a cottage hotel to cater to the growing tourism market. On February 2, 1918, El Encanto Hotel opened for business. From 1933 to 1950, El Encanto enjoyed increased popularity as a Hollywood hideaway hosting such luminaries as Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, and Hedy Lamarr.Over the years, the hotel changed ownership, and in 2018 LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton acquired Belmond Ltd. The hotel became, El Encanto, a Belmond Hotel.The eucalyptus trees remain, and this year a pair of red-tailed hawks put on a show as they raised their young in a tall tree in front of the pool, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Through the guidance of General Manager Janis Clapoff, this iconic hotel remains an essential destination for the creative and creatively inspired. At El Encanto, guests experience California through scrumptious, locally inspired cuisine, uplifting wellness experiences, classes in the visual arts, and an outstanding literary series. On August 1, the El Encanto Lunch With An Author Literary Series presents novelist and literary scholar Bruce Holsinger. Bruce is the author of the USA Today and Los Angeles Times best-selling novel The Gifted School, which is currently in development as a TV series with NBC/Universal Television. His most recent novel, The Displacements, was hailed by the New York Times as “hypnotic, and a thorough translation to fiction of what it can feel like to live right now.”  In 2022, I chose Abdulzarak Gurnah's Afterlives and  Bruce Holsinger's The Displacements as my two outstanding literary fiction novels.  I hope you will join me at El Encanto for lunch with Bruce, followed by our conversation about his writing and The Displacements. These literary events require a reservation and prepayment. Please call our Concierge Team at concierge.ele@belmond.com or call 805 845 5800. I hope to see you there!  Support the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links
