Podcast: From Beneath the Hollywood Sign
Published On: Mon Nov 06 2023
Description: Ever since Cain killed Abel — or, to put it in old Hollywood terms, ever since JOAN FONTAINE rebuffed OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND at the 1941 Oscar ceremony — sibling relationships have been complicated. In this episode we take a look at famous Hollywood siblings, some of whom you may know, others who may be a complete surprise. We’ll discuss the operatic singing superstar and her ghoulish TV star sister, the suave urbanite brothers who played bad guys and heels with equal aplomb, and a quartet of singing sisters from the Midwest who melted hearts in the 1940s. But, rest assured, unlike Cain and Abel (or Joan and Olivia), not all of these siblings relationships were as toxic.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Hollywood Enigma: Dana Andrews (2012), by Carl Rollyson Dana Andrews: The Face of Noir (2014), by James McKay Jeanette MacDonald Autobiography: The Lost Manuscript (2004), by Sharon Rich Memoirs of a Professional Cad (1960), by George Sanders A Long Way From St. Petersburg: The Tom Conway Story (2016), by C.E.
