Chronicles of Classic Hollywood: Film Idols and Moviemaking

Get ready to time travel with Tony Maietta, a seasoned actor, writer, and host, who will be our guide through classic Hollywood. Unearth the gems and unravel the mysteries around the charming Cary Grant as we explore his career highs, the many faces he donned, and the enigma of his personal life. Join us as we step into the shoes of a Hollywood gossip columnist of yesteryears and examine how Hollywood moguls used this to their advantage, and sometimes, their peril.

We take a walk down the memory lane of the golden era of cinema, dissecting the dynamics of being a movie star versus an actor, and how popularity often trumps merit during the Academy Award voting process. Be prepared to dive deep into the romantic saga of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, a tale encompassing raw passion, unspoken emotions, and an enduring platonic bond.

Get set for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving theater and home viewing experiences, and how this shift has affected the way we perceive and enjoy films.  So, buckle up for an enthralling ride into the enchanting world of classic Hollywood with our beloved guide, Tony Maietta.
