In this glittering episode of Box of Oddities, we roll out the red carpet for an Oscar week special, diving deep into the shadowy corners of classic Hollywood. We kick off with the jaw-dropping shenanigans of The Bundy Drive Boys—a legendary ensemble that boasted icons like John Barrymore, Errol Flynn, and W.C. Fields. Adding a personal touch to this segment, W.C. Fields's great-grandson, TJ Fields, and great-granddaughter-in-law, Amy Fields, join us to recount an uproarious family tale.
The intrigue intensifies in our second segment as we dissect one of the most titillating controversies ever to ensnare an Academy Award-winning actress. We're thrilled to welcome the hosts of "From Beneath The Hollywood Sign," Nan McNamara and Steve Cubine, to the show. McNamara, an accomplished actor, writer, director, and producer, and Cubine, a filmmaker and the writer/producer behind the 2018 Primetime Emmy Award-winning series "Break a Hip," lend their insider expertise to unravel the sordid details of the Mary Astor scandal.
Tune in for an episode packed with forbidden tales and whispered secrets as we unveil the darker side of the silver screen's golden age—only on Box of Oddities, where the bizarre becomes the norm and history comes alive in the most unexpected ways. Don't miss this journey through the underbelly of old Hollywood glamour!
