Program Description:
In this one-hour presentation, we'll dive into Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger's infamous expose of the scandalous underbelly of early Hollywood. Blending lurid rumor with sensationalized fact, Anger's book paints a provocative portrait of the movie industry's so-called Golden Age, unearthing the private lives, tragedies, and tabloid-worthy secrets of some of its most iconic stars. We'll explore the cultural impact of the book, its role in mythologizing (and demythologizing) celebrity, and the ethical tension between truth, gossip, and spectacle in shaping Hollywood's legacy. Expect an engaging discussion on fame, morality, and the enduring public appetite for the downfall of the rich and glamorous.
