About this episode

The episode features journalist Joyce Haber discussing the golden age of showbiz gossip and her experiences chronicling Hollywood's triumphs and scandals.

Today's podcast takes us into the golden age of show biz gossip, when the movie studios were powerful, the stars were glamorous, and the columns were read before the morning coffee was finished. Our guest was one of the sharpest observers of that world: A journalist who knew where the stories were and who the players were. She chronicled the triumphs, scandals, romances, and rivalries of Tinseltown with wit and truth. If there was buzz on Sunset Boulevard or whispers on a studio lot, chances are she heard it first. Gossip columnist Joyce Haber gives us a history lesson of movie stars, power lunches, red carpets, and the art of the gossip column. Joyce wrote a New York Times best seller "The Users," which was turned into a movie, featuring many well-known movie actors. It made many Hollywood stars nervous.
