Summary
She was Hollywood’s “most agreeable” girl, he was cinema’s golden boy genius. Rita Hayworth and Orson Welles looked like the dream couple – but behind the glamour it was all drama, long distance, and the inability to separate work from pleasure. This love story from the golden age of Hollywood even features brilliant cameos from Hedda Hopper , Gloria Vanderbilt , and Judy Garland herself. Gráinne and Chantal take a trip to 1940s Hollywood with the fabulous Kevin Bennett , host of The Big Smoke Variety Show , in this very special episode of The Way They Were – as requested by our brilliant patron Lady K! Plus, we take a closer look at Charli XCX ’s star-studded wedding and the Dawson’s Creek reunion.
