Dead in Hollywood is a true-crime web series of strange and tragic Hollywood deaths.
On February 22, 2023, I read an abridged chapter from my forthcoming book Dead in Hollywood for Queer Spaces Storytelling Night at North Figueroa Bookshop. I chose the restroom where George Michael was arrested as my queer space!
Owner of the Faux Library Studio Props, Marc E. Meyer, is credited as the inventor of the faux book. Meyer's prop house - which provides fake books, real books, antique furniture, and other record for film and TV sets - is among a number of SoCal prop houses that are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hollywood actors and writers strikes. Meyer needs to raise $100,000 by February 1, 2023, before he has to vacate the premises and surrender everything inside. We interviewed Marc last week and took a tour of his amazing prop house to help raise awareness. If you can help Marc, please donate below, and please don't forget to like and subscribe so we can continue making the Dead in Hollywood web series! Thanks as always.

Go behind the sign to the night of August 20, 1989, when the Menendez Brothers murdered their parents in the family's Beverly Hills mansion. It was a crime that shocked the world -- a prelude to the OJ Simpson saga. The Menendez murder case has been reexamined over the years with a new generation supporting the brothers who sit in prison for life without the possibility of parole. The questions remain: Did the brothers murder their parents in self-defense after years of unspeakable abuse? Or were the brothers spoiled rich kids who committed parricide? This series will culminate with a full-length documentary on the Brothers. If you can, keep an open mind until then.

Walking the Walk of Fame with Adam Papagan ("Cool L.A. Tours") & David Castro ("Dead in Hollywood") is a new web series on the secrets of Hollywood Blvd. On this episode, Adam and David visit The Four Ladies of Hollywood landmark, the gateway to the Walk of Fame. I drove past the Four Ladies so many times before I really noticed it. Truth be told, I kind of viewed the stainless steel gazebo as an eyesore and not the gateway to Hollywood as it was intended to be. It’s kinda falling apart. If you look closely, you’ll see some cracks, but behind those cracks and the controversy over the landmark, are 5 of the most interesting women in Hollywood you will ever meet.
