Chasing Wonder with Taylor Hughes

Episode 57: The Watsons: Hollywood’s First Family


Listen Later

In 1910 Coy Watson married Golda Wilmer and the two settled in the Edendale area of Los Angeles which would later become Echo Park. A few years later Mack Sennett built one of Hollywood’s first movie studios 300 yards from their house. The couple had nine children who ended up acting in hundreds of classic films. Harry Watson was my wife’s grandfather and in this episode I sat down with his brother Billy who just celebrated his 94 birthday.

This very special episode features some personal stories from the Watson Family told by Billy!
