Hollywood And Horsepower Show with Mark Otto Guest, Michael Blowen From the Silver Screen to the Stables: Michael Blowen on Hollywood's Golden Secrets Hollywood & Horsepower The Story Behind the Story: From Cinema Legends to Thoroughbred Stables Mode B: Editorial Abstract Guest Spotlight: Michael Blowen Former Boston Globe entertainment writer who transitioned from interviewing A-list stars to founding Old Friends Farm, the world's largest thoroughbred retirement sanctuary. Golden Era Chronicles ✦The Stewart Lesson: Jimmy Stewart sent handwritten "Red Envelope" thank-you notes to fans, treating them as friends, not customers. ✦Nicholson's Code: Jack Nicholson valued Blowen because he never acted as a "go-between" in a town built on transactions. ✦The Casablanca Legacy: Insights from writer Julius Epstein on the organic creation of iconic lines like "Round up the usual suspects." #OldHollywood #ThoroughbredRetirement #Journalism #Casablanca Key Quote "The horses are like my movie stars now... we make sure they have a gentle landing and the respect they've earned." Old Friends Farm Location: Georgetown, KY Mission: Dignified retirement for racing legends. Star Resident: "Academy Award" (Donated by Angie Dickinson). Featured Legends • Frank Sinatra • Lucille Ball • Bette Davis • Walter Matthau • Jimmy Stewart • Jack Nicholson Source: Hollywood and Horsepower Podcast • May 14, 2026 Read Time: 52 min audio Introduction In this episode of Hollywood and Horsepower, host Mark interviews Michael Blowen, the legendary Boston Globe critic who transitioned from interviewing movie stars to founding the world's largest thoroughbred retirement farm. The conversation explores the "human" side of Hollywood icons and the shared DNA between the film industry and horse racing. Detailed Summary The Evolution of Hollywood Access and Journalism Michael Blowen reflects on his tenure as an entertainment writer for the Boston Globe during a period he describes as the transition from "old Hollywood" to the new. Unlike the modern era of publicist-controlled phone interviews, Blowen was often sent on-location to observe movie sets firsthand. He notes that being physically present allowed him to witness the authentic friction and "fights" that occur during production, providing a level of reporting that is impossible in today's highly managed media environment. He views his current work with horses as a natural extension of his career, remarking that his retired thoroughbreds are his current "movie stars". The Jimmy Stewart Protocol During an interview, Jimmy Stewart revealed a stack of red envelopes on his desk—handwritten thank-you notes for fans who sent him birthday cards. "These people are not customers... they are your friends, and you should treat them that way." Iconic Friendships and Behind-the-Scenes Lore The discussion highlights several intimate anecdotes involving Hollywood royalty. Blowen shares a transformative lesson in humility from Jimmy Stewart regarding the importance of treating fans as "friends," a philosophy Blowen later adopted at his farm. He also recounts humorous and poignant moments with Jack Nicholson, who valued Blowen's friendship because he never acted as a "go-between" in a town built on transactional relationships. Other stories include the brilliance of the Epstein brothers—the writers of Casablanca—and the business foresight of Lucille Ball, who greenlit Star Trek and Mission Impossible against her board's wishes. The "Fever Pitch" Incident and Forging Bonds Blowen details a unique encounter with director Richard Brooks following a scathing review Blowen wrote for the film Fever Pitch. After a heated phone call filled with "every curse word in the world," Blowen challenged Brooks to a face-to-face interview. This confrontation led to a deep, lasting friendship, illustrating Blowen's belief that the "curtain dropping" allows one to truly know the people behind the fame. He notes that both the movie and horse businesses are remarkably small, interconnected worlds where reputation is everything. Old Friends Farm: A Gentle Landing Champion CareRetirement for Derby Winners Public AccessFace-to-face with Legends Founded by Michael Blowen in Georgetown, KY, to ensure thoroughbreds receive the respect they've earned after their racing careers end. Old Friends Farm and the Legacy of Thoroughbreds The final segment focuses on Blowen's current mission: Old Friends Farm. He describes the farm as a place for horses to have a "gentle landing" after their careers. He shares how actress Angie Dickinson helped fund the retirement of a horse appropriately named "Academy Award." The farm has become a major Kentucky tourist destination where fans can meet legends like Kentucky Derby and Breeders' Cup winners, treating them with the same reverence once reserved for the stars of the silver screen. Key Data Old Friends Farm: Recognized as the largest thoroughbred retirement farm in the world. Rescue Funding: Angie Dickinson donated $5,000 to secure the retirement of the stallion "Academy Award". Location: The farm is located in Georgetown, Kentucky, approximately 14 minutes from Tony's Steak & Seafood. To-Do / Next Steps Visit oldfriendsequine.org to learn more about thoroughbred retirement or to schedule a tour. Look up the archived Boston Globe columns of Diane White for examples of acclaimed, timeless writing. Dine at Tony's Steak & Seafood in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Lexington, or Bowling Green to support the show's sponsor. Check the Old Friends website for information on meeting Little Brown, the farm's resident miniature horse. Conclusion Michael Blowen's life story serves as a bridge between the high-stakes world of Hollywood glamour and the quiet dignity of a Kentucky horse farm. By applying the lessons of character and humility learned from cinema legends to the care of equine athletes, he has created a unique legacy that honors the "stars" of both industries.

You might think the idea of “celebrity” is a modern invention. In reality, its roots stretch back centuries... perhaps even millennia. People have always been fascinated by the rare individuals who rise above the crowd and capture public attention. Whether admired or despised, the famous have always held a powerful grip on our curiosity.In this episode, we explore the dark origins of 'celebrity': where it began, how it has evolved, and the strange ways it has shaped people's lives. We delve into tales of the Ancient Gods of Gossip to the Georgian actor who hired haters to heckle his rivals…And who better to take us through this episode than Greg Jenner? Greg is a public historian, broadcaster and author of works including ‘Dead Famous: An Unexpected History of Celebrity From Bronze Age to Silver Screen.' He's the host of the BBC Podcast ‘You're Dead to Me.'This episode was edited by Hannah Feodorov. Produced by Tomos Delargy.

If you need confirmation of Hollywood's vast influence on mass culture, look no further than the pop charts. From the 1937 classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs through this year's KPop Demon Hunters, soundtracks have launched hits, defined genres—and sometimes even eclipsed the films that inspired them in the first place. Rock classics, funk jams, rap bangers, even Christmas standards: all became hits because we heard them first at the cinema. Join Chris Molanphy as he unspools nearly a century of hit movie music, from Simon & Garfunkel's groundbreaking ode to “Mrs. Robinson,” to the, ahem, titanic tin whistle of “My Heart Will Go On.” Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét trace the origins of phrases like The Great White Way and The Silver Screen and identify their personal “hear me out” moments. They test how good they are at identifying inches, debate whether saying “nevermind” mid-thought is annoying, and reveal if they have accents in their heads. Bob and Monét play a compromise game—deciding on a shared pet, a desert island playlist, and a party guest list. They talk cats vs. dogs, why reptiles are a bad idea, and the ground rules for sharing a car. Plus, does The Cheesecake Factory really have something for everyone?
