  • Bing Crosby
    The Voice That Built an Empire

    In 1948 he was voted by the American public as the „most admired man alive“ - before any sports icon or the Pope. He was also called the „person who has done the most for the morale of overseas entertainment“ during WWII - ahead of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, General Dwight Eisenhower, and Bob Hope. It is estimated that he filled half of the total hours of recorded music that was aired on US radio weekly. And there is actually even more to this man that we will cover in this episode. This is the story of a true cultural icon!

  • Jane Wyman
    The Quiet Powerhouse of Hollywood

    Jane Wyman was so much more than a famous wife, a leading lady, or a tabloid footnote. She was one of classic Hollywood’s most enduring stars—a performer of depth, subtlety, and resilience, who gracefully navigated decades of fame while maintaining a fiercely guarded private life.
