To commemorate the centennial of Barbara's passing, I joined Stewart Lee on the Golden Silent Films Podcast for an episode devoted to Barbara's incredible life and commendable career. We discuss her early years, the winding career path that led her to silent film stardom, her untimely death at age twenty-nine, her legacy, my Barbara La Marr portrayal, my biography (Barbara La Marr: The Girl Who Was Too Beautiful for Hollywood), and more. The podcast may be accessed here.
