I was happy to appear alongside Laura Riebman, producer Paul Bern's great-niece, on Christy Alexander Hallberg's Rock is Lit podcast, "Fatal Fame: Paul Bern, Jean Harlow, Barbara La Marr & a 1930s Hollywood Mystery." We discussed Paul Bern's life, silent screen siren Barbara La Marr, Barbara's relationship with Paul in the 1920s, Paul's marriage to platinum bombshell Jean Harlow, and Paul's sensationalized death in 1932. The episode may be viewed here.*
*Though I listened to the audio recording of the podcast before the video was posted, I've not yet had a chance to view the entire video and the photos the host added.
