On June 13, 1926, 26-year-old Gladys Baker brought her 2-week-old daughter, to the foster home of Ida and Wayne Bolender in Hawthorne, California. There was no sign of any father—officially unknown - though Baker would insist for years that it was a Hollywood Studios employee named Charles Stanley Gifford. The sad drop-off of an infant and the sudden and abrupt departure of her single mother, certainly not the beginning to a life that would become as fame-filled and seemingly glamorous as any in American history.  Glamor… fame… luxury… sex appeal… all words that have come to embody the figure that today’s Missing Chapter Podcast profiles. When, the word that best describes her life is more accurately… tragic.

So, refresh that coffee and settle in for the true-story of a red-carpet icon. Lights, camera, action… The Missing Chapter Podcast.
