CORONER TO THE STARS - Philly Premire

CORONER TO THE STARS is a documentary film directed by Ben Hethcoat and Keita Ideno about the extraordinary life and controversial career of Dr. Thomas Noguchi, the former Los Angeles County Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner whose celebrity autopsies forever shaped American culture. From Marilyn Monroe and Robert Kennedy to Sharon Tate and Natalie Wood, Dr. Noguchi's death investigations pushed forensic science into the spotlight — even as Hollywood elites and political adversaries sought to silence him. A Japanese American who unwittingly rose to fame in a city driven by stardom, Noguchi's commitment to “tell it like it is” often put him within the crosshairs of controversy.
