From Beneath the Hollywood Sign"OLD HOLLYWOOD'S TOXIC TRIANGLE"“OLD HOLLYWOOD’s TOXIC TRIANGLE” - 5/19/2025 (088)
Hollywood in the mid-20th century was a world of glitz and glamour, a realm where dreams could be made or destroyed in an instant. It was an era when the silver screen crafted illusions of romance and perfection, yet behind the scenes, the personal lives of its stars often unraveled into chaos, scandal, and tragedy. Few stories exemplify this dark side of Hollywood better than the volatile love triangle involving actress BARBARA PAYTON and actors FRANCHOT TONE and TOM NEAL.

FanacekS3 E11 An Interview with author Burt KearnsBurt Kearns has written an incredible book about actor Lawrence Tierney. I read the book. You should too. Lawrence Tierney was a film noir actor whose career spanned almost 60 years. He rose to fame in the 1945 classic Dillinger. You probably know him best as Joe Cabot in Reservoir Dogs or as Elaine's dad on Seinfeld. The book meticulously chronicles the life, love, passion, and intensity of a man who lived life his way...which was often detrimental to himself and everyone around him. It's a must read.

True Stories Of TinseltownI Talk To Author Burt Kearns On His Book Lawrence Tierney: Hollywood’s Real-Life Tough Guy..Is Lawrence Bad To The Bone Or Just MisunderstoodI had a wonderful time talking to Burt about the Reel AND Real life tough guy Lawrence Tierney. Lawrence was a fascinating man, who could recite poetry, knew all the classics, and was a brawler with multiple arrests. Was he bad to the bone, just b b bad, or misunderstood? His career spanned decades, with lots of droughts in between. Grab a cup of joe, hot chocolate, a glass of vino, or your beverage of choice and have a listen to the story of this interesting dude..
Thanks so much to the fabulous Burt!!
