    9-30-55 Ep 1

    The day an icon was created. The day an icon died.  They say, “In a heartbeat... your life can flash in front of you."  James Dean did not believe that.  Until 5:44 p.m. 9-30-55.  A day. An hour. A minute. A second. James Dean’s life flashed in front of him in a heartbeat.  We all have a lot more to remember than we think.

    June. 1962. Marilyn Monroe arrived at the Hotel Bel-Air. Five hours late. She had agreed to a photo sitting for Vogue magazine with photographer Bert Stern.

    THAT WOMAN! Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor Ep 1

    THAT WOMAN! Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor Ep 1

    She won a King's heart in the 40-year romance known around the world as "The Love Story of the 20th Century". In December 1936 King Edward VIII abdicated his throne for the twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson. Despite being vilified by the Royal Family and branded as an "adventuress" and the "king's whore", she became an unlikely but potent global symbol of female empowerment and a worldwide social icon. But even with all that has been written about her, Wallis remained an enigma. Until now.

    Intimate Fame  is created and written by Scott Edward Smith, and produced by Howard Gluss.

    THAT WOMAN! was originally staged at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and was performed by Melissa Jobe, directed by Wm. Philip McKinley, and produced by Howard Gluss and Sharon Morrill.
