    Episode #212: Valerie Long (Richard Long, Mara Corday)

    Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Valarie Long, daughter of actors Richard Long and Mara Corday. At times our conversation was breezy, at times difficult and at other times funny, Valerie really took some time with this interview because there was so much to discuss.    From health issues that plagued Richard his whole life to some of those same issues that Valerie herself faced, we hear about how her father was plucked from obscurity as a high school senior at Hollywood High School and within no time was working on films with Orson Welles, Claudette Colbert, Loretta Young and Edward G. Robinson. We also discuss her father’s first marriage prior to meeting the pinup girl Playboy model turned actress Mara Corday, to a young ingénue named Suzan Ball who tragically passed away at age 22 when Richard was only 23 whose tragic story is one we had never heard of prior to connecting to Valerie. Somehow we end up talking to Valerie about people like Clint Eastwood, Peter Marshall, Lee Majors, Barbara Stanwyck, Roddy McDowell, Dan Rowan and Sit John Mills. We also discuss iconic TV shows like The Big Valley, The Twilight Zone, 77 Sunset Strip, Nanny and the Professor and more. We discuss movies like Tarantula, Sudden Impact, Tomorrow is Forever, Ma and Pa Kettle and Make Like a Thiefand others. It’s a rollicking conversation that was equal parts funny, heartwarming and poignant and we thank Valerie for shying away from nothing in our conversation.. But that’s how things happen on the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story. And this one is a keeper.

    Episode #211: Carrie Mitchum (Christopher Mitchum, Robert Mitchum)

    Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Carrie Mitchum, daughter of actor Christopher Mitchum, granddaughter to iconic actor Robert Mitchum and mother to actor Grace Van Dien. And while that’s a lot of actors in your family, we haven’t even mentioned her actor brother, her actor uncle, her great actor or her own acting career! I’m talking actors! That’s quite a family business! The Fonda’s, the Bridges’ and the Douglas’s aint got nothing on The Mitchum’s. Although maybe the Huston’s rival all this. Anyway, I digress…. We jumped around on the latest episode with Carrie because there was frankly so much to talk about. Of course we wanted to know what life was like with Grampa Robert – and we do. But we also heard so much about her own acting career starting with the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful as well as her time growing up in Europe and Asia on movie sets starring her father. Moreover, it’s a total trip to know she had cookies on sitting on the lap of one of Europe’s most feared dictators as part of that experience. We also talk to Carrie about her grandfather’s film and his recording career, her father’s films with John Wayne, growing up at the Green Acres estate with Harold Lloyd and our prior guest Suzanne Lloyd, the poetry of Robert Mitchum, her daughters time on Stranger Things, grampa’s favorite food, being on the set of the film, That Championship Season, how no one really knows a family dynamic just by reading a tabloid, what NAR means, The Mitchum Steakhouse, being married to a “sex symbol” and much more. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.

    Episode #210: Guest Host Daisy Torme (Mel Torme, Janette Scott) & Josh Mills (Edie Adams)

    Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking with….host Josh Mills. Yes, on this episode, our 100th, we somehow wrangled guest Daisy Torme, daughter of singer Mel Torme and actress Janette Scott to be a guest host as part of this special episode.  In fact, it was because of this podcast that we reconnected with Daisy and her brother James Torme months prior which led to a few lunches, quite a few laughs and much merriment. So when we were thinking of what to do for our 100th episode, it seemed pretty simple as to who we’d like to mix things up with. Daisy was kind enough to slip behind the proverbial desk and guest host the podcast and interview the host about his life. What a concept. Daisy was terrific in her newfound role as we discussed family connections, Josh’s mom’s, Edie Adams career, celebrities connections we had in common, family music publishing and a whole lot more. It’s also safe to say that Josh had a good time as guest. Because, after all who doesn’t have the “Enough about me, what about me?” syndrome? So we touched on quite a bit that maybe in prior episodes we danced around but didn’t fully explain. Here, on this episode – we do. So please enjoy this latest encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast this American Thanksgiving week 2024 and remember, everyone has a story. Even the host.  Another child of a celebrity, interviewed by another child of a celebrity. With a twist. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast.

    Episode #209: Suzanne Lloyd (Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis) (Part Two)

    Today on Part Two of our conversation about silent film stars Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we continue our conversation with Suzanne Lloyd, their granddaughter who was raised as their daughter. Last week we laid the groundwork on the life and legacy of one of the silent era’s greatest comedians. This week, we discuss the life Suzanne led in the family’s Green Acres 16 acre estate in Benedict Canyon. Harold seemed to have a way with money and he indulged all his passions with abandon. Although retired when Suzanne was growing up, Harold remained very active in his passions. Be it photography, the Shriners hospital, the estate itself or even his passion for bowling with Howard Hughes, we get into it all. Topics discussed in this episode include: Harold’s passion for Stereo, Rick Nelson, TV director Richard Correll, Debbie Reynolds, the Blacklist, Paul McCartney & Wings, Disneyland, the Rolling Stones, Marilyn Monroe, Roddy McDowell, Harmon Kardon audio and more. Along the way we discuss 3-D photography, pipe organs and an almost ridiculous obsession with Christmas and Christmas trees you have to hear to believe. But we get into it, oh yes we do! We pick up our conversation with Suzanne mid-interview as we compare Ernie Kovacs to Harold Lloyd on this episode, of this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story. Enjoy.

    Episode #208: Suzanne Lloyd (Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis) (Part One)

    Today on another brand new episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we give you part one of our conversation with Suzanne Lloyd, the granddaughter of silent film comedy star & Christmas tree obsessive, Harold Lloyd. Now, if the name (or the image) of Harold Lloyd doesn’t immediately ring a bell like Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin, this is one of the reasons we do this podcast, to make sure the legacy of legendary (or sometimes just working actors) are not forgotten. And after you hear Suzanne’s lengthy and almost encyclopedic remembrances of the man who raised her and why his name isn’t always mentioned as one of the three silent film comedians, you will understand it after listening to part one and next week’s part two. There is a reason. One we know all too well ourselves with the Ernie Kovacs estate. On today’s episode, we discuss the silent era of film and names like Hal Roach, Colleen Moore, Mary Pickford, Daryl Zanuck, Irving Thalberg, Snub Pollard and more are bandied about like so many of Suzanne’s colorful stories about Harold Lloyd. We also hearabout Suzanne’s grandmother, actress Mildred Davis who was a pretty huge silent film star in her own right. It’s a whirlwind of information that fans of silent films won’t get enough of and fans who love old Hollywood but maybe don’t know the silent era well will want to learn more about. Suzanne was a marvelous guest – someone who knows dates, places, studios, names and more like these things happened just yesterday. It’s clear that because she now controlls the Harold Lloyd Estate and his production company that she learned all this while also genuinely loving her grandfather who raised her like a daughter. It’s terrific stuff. So now podcast listeners, we bring you the story of Speedy aka Harold Lloyd on this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen.

    Episode #205: JD Lobue Jr. (JD Lobue Sr.)

    Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to J.D. Lobue Jr., son of television director & at one time budding sunshine pop musician J.D. Lobue Sr. We reached out to J.D. Jr., after reading an article in a fantastic music magazine called Ugly Things about a band from the 1960s called The Gordian Knot. While reading the article, the name J.D. Lobue came up and host Josh Mills immediately thought, “That MUST be the father of my former little league baseball teammate!” After all, Lobue isn’t Smith, it’s a pretty unique name. With a little bit more research, we discovered our hunch was correct, it was the same person. As we dug a little further, we realized that not only was Sr. a member of The Gordian Knot, but was also a well-known television director whose credits included multiple credits for iconic American shows like Soul Train, Soap, It’s A Living, Herman’s Head, Dharma and Greg and so many more. There were also credits for shows that didn’t make it like Norman Lear’s All’s Fair, Amanda’s By The Sea, Comedy Zone, You Take The Kids and more. So on this episode, we get into the weeds on what it was like in the booth watching your dad direct Soul Train and how your dad kept it together when things didn’t go right on the set of Soap. We also discuss meeting the great Madeline Kahn, how he channeled The Bad News Bears Tanner as a member of the Dodgers at Studio City National Little League, iconic TV director Jay Sandrich, the jazz fusion band The Crusaders, sitting in Archie Bunker’s chair on the All in the Family set, playing tennis at Mel Torme’s house and much more. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story. Take a listen.
