Original Airdate: Week of Feb. 20-26, 2013
First hour: Ed welcomes author, journalist and screenwriter Marvin J. Wolf. Marv’s books include Fallen Angels: Chronicles of L.A. Crime and Mystery,
a behind-the-scenes look at 39 famous crimes that not only took place
in Los Angeles, but reveal an altogether different side of the City of
Angels than what you may have seen on television or in the movies. Among
the cases discussed in the book: Caryl Chessman, the Red Light Bandit;
the precedent-setting rape trial of movie mogul Alexander Pantages; the
mysterious death of actor Nick Adams; the tragic murder of actor Sal
Mineo; and the gruesome death of Elizabeth Short, the woman known as The
Black Dahlia. Marv co-wrote Fallen Angels along with noted
criminal defense attorney Katherine Mader; the book was recently
re-released both in paperback and as an e-Book. The e-Book edition of Fallen Angels
includes links to the various crime scenes detailed in each story, so
that readers can travel directly to the locations themselves, virtually
via Google Maps and Google Earth.
Second hour: An encore presentation of our November 2010 conversation with novelist Darlene Quinn, author of Twisted Webs, Webs of Power, Webs of Fate and the forthcoming Unpredictable Webs, and the co-author, along with the late Buddy Ebsen, of Sizzling Cold Case: The Legend of Lori London, an original novel featuring Barnaby Jones. Plus: Tony Figueroa and Donna Allen remember the pilot for The Andy Griffith Show, which originally aired This Week in TV History as an episode of Make Room for Daddy.
I represent the first generation who, when we were born, the television was now a permanent fixture in our homes. When I was born people had breakfast with Barbara Walters, dinner with Walter Cronkite, and slept with Johnny Carson. Read the full "Pre-ramble"
