Natalie Kalmus: The Woman Who Nearly Ruined Technicolor


Listen Later

This is the audio from our recent YouTube version of "TECHNICOLOR PART II: THE DRAMA." This version is slightly different than the original audio-only version.

---
In this episode of Perf Damage, we dive deeper into the fascinating world of Technicolor by focusing on the dynamic husband-and-wife team behind the company: Herbert and Natalie Kalmus. This companion piece to our episode, THE UNTOLD STORY OF TECHNICOLOR, explores the couple’s innovative partnership, their influence on the film industry, and the complexities of their personal and professional relationship.

Natalie Kalmus wasn't just Herbert's wife—she was a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. Known for her strict artistic control over the Technicolor process, she famously clashed with legendary filmmakers like Cecil B. DeMille, Michael Curtiz, David O. Selznick, and Michael Powell. Behind the scenes, her influence was valued and dreaded as she fiercely defended Technicolor’s vision. After her and Herbert’s relationship soured, she spent years in court, making his life a living hell and adding drama to an already colorful legacy.
