“The Tragic Life of Classic Cinema Star Gail Russell” (082) - 4/07/2025 Hollywood legend has it that ethereal beauty GAIL RUSSELL was discovered after a Paramount Studios talent manager picked up two hitchhiking Santa Monica high school boys who told him all about the "Hedy Lamarr of Santa Monica High School." Allegedly, he then tracked down Russell at school and arranged for a screen test. The rest, as they say, is Hollywood history. If only it had been that easy. Russell, who was painfully shy and had no interest in a career as an actress was pushed in front of the camera by her ambitious mother and the executives at Paramount who saw dollar signs in her startling blue eyes. This week, we explore the life and career of one of Hollywood's most tragic beauties, GAIL RUSSELL.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Fallen Star: A Biography of Gail Russell (2016), by Steven Glenn Ochoa; John Wayne: The Life and Legend (2015), by Scott Erman; It's the Pictures That Got Smaller: Charles Brackett on Billy Wilder (2104), edited by Anthony Slide; “Paramount Official Biography of Gail Russell,” March 1940, Paramount Pictures; “Gail Russell,” May 1971, by Jim Meyer, Film Fan Monthly; “Stars Attend Funeral of Gail Russell,” August 30, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Private Rites Scheduled Today for Gail Russell,” August 29, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Gail Russell Found Dead At Home,” May 28, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Gail Russell Threatens to Sue on Wayne Case Charge,” October 21, 1953, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; “Gail Russell Held On Drunk Driving Charges,” November 25, 1953, Los Angeles Times; “Film Star Gail Russell Jailed As Drunk Driver,” November 25, 1953, LA Daily News; “Gail Russell Fights Drunk Driving Charge; Trial Set,” November 27, 1953, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; “Gail Russell Charges $150 Drunk Charge,” January 18, 1954, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned:  Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour (1943), starring James Lydon & Diana Lynn; Lady In The Dark (1944), starring Ginger Rogers & Ray Milland; The Uninvited (1944), starring Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, & Gail Russell; Our Hearts Were Young And Gay (1944), starring Gail Russell & Diana Lynn; Salty O'Rourke (1945), starring Alan Ladd & Gail Russell; The Unseen (1945), starring Joel McCrea & Gail Russell; Our Hearts Were Growing Up (1946), starring Gail Russell & Diana Lynn; Calcutta (1947), starring Alan Ladd & Gail Russell; Angel And The Badman (1947), starring John Wayne & Gail Russell; Night Has A Thousand Eyes (1948), starring Edward G.

They share their initial thoughts on the movie, the director's background, and the unique elements of the film. They explore the genre of film noir and how it can be seen in different genres.

This week we head to Scotland as we explore the tragic life of Amber Gibson. Aged just three, Amber, along with her five-year-old brother Connor, had already endured a life of neglect and abuse - it was all she knew. But when she was removed from the family home and placed into foster care, it looked as though she was destined for a happy ending... However, as we know all too well, it doesn't always happen like that. While her foster family was loving and supportive, a catastrophic chain of events had already been set in motion that would see her betrayed in the cruellest of ways.

February, 1977. Star Stowe was the centrefold of one of the world's most popular magazines: Playboy.  She was not only now a world-famous model, but in a relationship with one of the most famous musicians on the planet. After years of trying to find success, it seemed that everything has fallen into place for her. Just 20 years later, her life would be brutally cut short. A suspected serial was prowling the streets, someone who, to this day, has not been caught.  This episode was researched and written by Stephen J.

Over the years of their marriage she, along with both her kids, experienced abuse of almost every kind.

Ame Deal should have been a thriving and happy 23-year-old, and instead, her legacy is one of heartbreak and suffering. Child abuse can take many forms, and the bystander effect may cause us to believe that what happens within another family is ‘not our business'. In reality, it is everyone's business to call out abuse and contact authorities, whether you are a mandated reporter or not. Ame was treated differently from her siblings by the entrusted adults in her life, culminating in one of the most disturbing instances of child abuse and murder I've ever covered.

Who's to blame for the tragic life of Blanche Monnier?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with Zoe Friedman about Blanche Monnier and the unspeakable abuse and imprisonment she was forced to endure for over 26 years in her family home. We know some of the culprits involved, but what drove them to such madness? Was fear of losing their place in high society driving these cruel acts? Could oppressive puritanical standards be to blame? Or were they simply in too deep? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join this haunting conversation.

The cases you usually hear on true crime podcasts, the ones we usually cover, have a clear perpetrator and a clear victim. One person is in the wrong, the obvious suspect, the “villain” in the case. One person is innocent, the one who has been wronged and whose justice we long for. But then come cases that flip on their head our conception of wrong or right, good or evil. Today's story is of one such case. It is a case of a woman, abused, tormented and emotionally tortured until she snapped. This is the story of Dr. Chamari Liyanage.

Show Notes Episode 409: Everybody Knows (OJ Did It) Part 1 of “Wheezing the Juice” This week Host Dave Bledsoe sprints through the bar toward the exit with a Jameson in hand one step ahead of the bouncers, just like OJ through the airport. (If OJ were a fat, white, middle aged drunk dude) On the show this week we kick off our Summer Series with Part One of “Wheezing the Juice” (We tried to convince him NOT to name it that!) talking about The Juice and all the things that led up to the Events of 1994. Along the way we learn that Dave thinks he was very “progressive” for adhering to the basic tenets of criminal procedure. (Honestly, we kinda have to give him this one) Then we dive right into the backstory of Orenthal James Simpson. (Relax, we keep it pertinent). From there we explain why White America loved OJ! (He was one of the ”Good Ones”) and why OJ thought he could get away with murder. (He DID play Norberg on Police Squad!) Finally, we do as best we can to discuss the crime without being excessively childish. (He BARELY pulls it off.) Our Sponsor this week is Murder-abelia dot com, your source for murder related sports collectibles. We open with OJ pontification on the art of acting and close with Eydrey explaining how we all KNOW who did it.  Show Theme: Hypnostate Prelude to Common Sense The Show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheHell_Podcast The Show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthehellpodcast/ The Show on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxP5ywpZ-O7qu_MFkLXQUQ www.whatthehellpodcast.com Give us your money on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Whatthehellpodcast The Show Line: 347 687 9601 Closing Music: https://youtu.be/YxjMs8r4vhc We are a proud member of the Seltzer Kings Podcast Network! http://seltzerkings.com/ Citations Needed: Before trial, Simpson charmed America https://www.espn.com/sportscentury/features/00016472.html Ranking every 'Monday Night Football' announcer ever, from O.J.

March 17, 1828. The celebrated clown, Joseph Grimaldi, rises from his sickbed. Once London's most energetic performer, he's gradually been crippled by decades of pratfalls and acrobatics. He can barely manage the short walk to Sadler's Wells theater, where he's about to star in a final show. Grimaldi dresses backstage as if he's in a daze, burdened by a lifetime of personal sorrows. And yet, when the curtain rises, he'll summon the old strength. He'll entertain this last of his countless audiences and send them home happy – unlike the clown himself. Who was Joseph Grimaldi? And how did he blend humor, irreverence, and humanity to fundamentally change comedy? Special thanks to our guests, Andrew McConnell Stott, author of The Pantomime Life of Joseph Grimaldi: Laughter, Madness and the Story of Britain's Greatest Comedian, and Naomi Shafer, Executive Director of Clowns Without Borders USA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

All around Europe, there are small brass bricks inlaid into the ground before the front doors of apartment buildings and houses. These bricks are like a decentralized memorial—they are known as Stolpersteine—which means stumbling stones—and engraved on each one is the name of a citizen who was persecuted or exterminated by the Nazis during World War II. At an apartment building in Berlin that stands at Wielandstrasse 15, you will find the name of Charlotte Salomon on one of these stumbling stones. As it says on the little brass brick, she was born in 1917 here; she fled Germany to France in 1939; she was interned at a French concentration camp in Drancy; she was deported and murdered in Auschwitz in 1943. Charlotte was also a visionary young artist, and she created a hugely ambitious work of art called Life or Theater. Made in just over a year while living in exile in France, Life or Theater consists of more than 1,000 individual gouache paintings, sectioned into three acts. It is an artwork that defies easy categorization. It is something like an autobiography, but also not quite. There are characters that are just like her own family and friends, but their names are slightly changed. There is music that is meant to accompany her vividly painted scenes, which tell the story of her coming of age as a young woman and an artist. The story shows what played out on Wielandstrasse in Berlin as the Nazis rose to power; the persecution of her family; the death of her mother from suicide, and later her grandmother. It tells about her suffering in exile, it discusses a murder. It also captures the birth of a brilliant artist who finds a lifeline in making art. It is hard to neatly summarize everything Life or Theater addresses—but as Charlotte put it herself, the piece is “something crazy special.” Not only is the work picturesque in the way it is painted and formally ground-breaking, Charlotte managed to achieve something deeply intimate and personal but also universal with this work. She gave it to a friend for safekeeping before she was taken to Auschwitz and it survived the war and is now in the possession of the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam. People do not seem to be as aware of Salomon as they should be giving the pioneering, avant-garde nature of this artwork. On the occasion of an upcoming exhibition of Life or Theater at the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Artnet News's Kate Brown was joined by the show's curator Irene Faber, who is also the curator of collections at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam, and an expert on Charlotte's life and art.
