“Happy Anniversary!”

The Speakeasy is made for scandal this month as we welcome Laurie Jacobson, author of Hollywood Heartbreak, Hollywood Haunted and the newly released Dishing Hollywood. Come mix it up with us and learn why William Desmond Taylor loved Orange Blossoms (yes, so fresh, and yes, so intoxicating). Won’t you join us as we delve into the ever-beckoning dark side of Tinsel Town?

The evening’s bookmark will be made by Albert Cuellar, a visual artist who lives in Watts. His work has been featured in the films of Tim Burton (Ed Wood), D.J. Pooh (The Wash), and Ray Manzarek (Lover Madly). Most recently, he created animated sequences for Asia Argento’s forthcoming The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things (a movie based on the novel by J.T. Leroy).


 

SCANDAL AND GOOD EATS! GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT! Romance, scandal and murder can really work up an appetite. In DISHING HOLLYWOOD, author Laurie Jacobson serves up the real scoop on 43 Tinseltown scandals with a recipe connected to each one: last suppers, first dates, favorite dishes -- stories with real meat to 'em. And Jacobson really knows her stuff. A renown Hollywood historian, she is the author of several popular books and a writer/producer of TV specials and talk shows. She's appeared on: E!'s Mysteries and Scandals, Mike Wallace's 20th Century, A&E, History Channel, CNN, AMC, Art Bell, hundreds of radio shows and more. And does she have great stories. Come and listen!

What does she bring you in her latest book? Let me whet your appetite: Marilyn Monroe: what she did AFTER she posed for her famous calendar; Sinatra, DiMaggio and the "wrong-door raid"; The Black Dahlia -- her "unsolved" murder is solved; John Wayne, flag-waving American -- killed by his own government? Inger Stevens's suicide now looks like murder; Mama Cass: the ham sandwich was baloney! Dorothy Kilgallen -- murdered for what she knew about the JFK assassination; what shocking punishment did Bing Crosby dish out to his sons? Sharon Tate: Laurie found her waitress that night, got her last supper and a great story! Sal Mineo, Liberace, Lana Turner, Phil Spector, Natalie Wood, Robert Blake, Roman Polanski and more! for more, check out:
