Our very first episode of our newest series: Great Dames! Melanie and Lara were beyond honored to have award-winning film historian, author and documentary filmmaker Cari Beauchamp as our inaugural guest. It’s a no-holds barred discussion of the earliest movers and shakers in Hollywood with special focus on Frances Marion, the highest paid screenwriter, male or female, for Tinseltown’s first twenty years. Beauchamp spent years researching Marion while writing the definitive biography on this vivacious and fascinating woman!
