WORLD PREMIERE: HERE LIES RAMON NOVARRO (Episode 5)

Go behind the sign to Halloween Eve 1968. Two young hustlers ring the doorbell at 3110 Laurel Canyon Drive. A gracious 69-year-old man greets them. Once upon a time in Hollywoodland, the old man was one of the greatest Latin heartthrobs to have ever lived. Now frail and looking older than his age, the man invites the hustlers inside - "a burly young man of 22 and a slender twink of 17--his murderers." By morning, the old man would be dead, badly beaten, and having choked to death on his own blood. The bludgeoned body was that of actor Ramon Novarro.

Go behind the sign to Calvary Cemetery... in the search of Ramon Novarro's grave.

35 Years.

This is a photo of my husband and me with heartthrob Tab Hunter in 2016. Hunter had been with his partner, Allan Glaser, for 35 years when he passed away yesterday, July 8. “We were walking home, and he collapsed in my arms in our front yard," said Glaser. "He said he couldn’t breathe, so I called 911, and we went to the hospital . . . This was sudden and unexpected.” A blood clot caused Hunter to go into cardiac arrest. I hope Glaser finds a little peace in knowing that his and Hunter's relationship has been an inspiration to us. I hope I'm lucky enough to get to spend 35 years with my husband. 

The Girl(s) He Left Behind

Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood in publicity stills for the Warner Brothers movie “The Girl He Left Behind (1953).” They also starred together in the movie "The Burning Hills (1956)." Hunter died of a heart attack yesterday, June 8. He was 86. 

Tab Hunter (July 11, 1931 – July 8, 2018)

Rest in power Tab Hunter. 🌈 By chance, I posted a variation of this edit on Saturday. Hunter passed away yesterday, June 8, at the age of 86. His partner calls the death “unexpected and sudden.” This photo is of Hunter sharing a laugh with Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood at the Academy Awards.

L.A. Zine Fest

L.A. Zine Fest was a blast. I brought 200 copies of Dead in Hollywood with me and I sold out! How did that even happen?!?! A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and a humongous thank you to the good folks at L.A. Zine Fest. I am overwhelmed by the support! Tabling at LA Zine Fest was a goal of mine when I started Dead in Hollywood exactly one year ago and I did it! I'm feeling so inspired. I can't wait to see where the next year takes us!
