Gone But Not Forgotten The Trident Network

Audrey and Louise discuss the filmography of silent film star Rudolph Valentino and the 1977 Ken Russell biopic about his career. Topics include the controversy over Valentino's sex symbol status and why he deserves to be remembered for other aspects, technical and narrative elements that surprised us about his silent movies, influential women in Valentino's life such as screenwriter June Mathis and second wife Natacha Rambova, depictions of real-life figures in the biopic (which we have very opposing opinions on), roles we would like to have seen Valentino play, and much more.

TW: mentions of gun violence, rape

Audrey and Louise finish their Rising Starlets and the Exploitational Biopic series with Lana Clarkson, a model and actress who was most popular in the '80s and '90s before her life was cut short by Phil Spector in 2003. We discuss six of Lana's films as well as the 2013 HBO movie Phil Spector.

Topics include our love for Lana's strong female characters, thoughts on nudity in movies and when it crosses the line into exploitation, roles we would like to have seen her play, the Phil Spector movie's egregious cherrypicking of facts in relation to Lana's murder and the trial, the complicated legacy that Spector has left behind, how we think Lana Clarkson should be remembered, and much more.
