Sky Documentaries had one about Laurel Canyon on a while back. TBH, I'm fascinated by the whole 'Swinging London' era.

It was great, I saw it. There is also a good book simply called Laurel Canyon. I love the swinging 60s London era too!!!
I am! It’s just so fascinating and I love going down the Google rabbit hole looking up stories!

Douglas is dead, no allegations were made, he was never named yet he's another victim of trial by rumor and gossip.

I was just going to recommend this podcast, it's brilliant.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on the wizard of oz set as a whole? With the stories about the munchkins orgys & the potential suicide of one in the background of a scene?
it’s always been one of my favourite films but it was tainted after reading how they treated Judy

Someone killed their self in a scene in W of O-or someone who was in the background of a scene in that later killed their self?
Meyer treated Garland appallingly, forced her to lose weight on a soup and cig diet and fed her uppers so she would perform for crazy hours and then downers so she could rest. Thye did the same thing to Mickey Rooney as a child.
The suicide is actually an urban legend, its birds flapping their wings in a tree and someone said it was a munchkin, but not just a bird.
It’s horrific how they got away with that when she was 16 at the time of filming right? Imagine that nowadays there would be absolute uproar!
I remember reading that the adult munchkins would be inappropriate to Judy as well in a sexual manner, this was a news article years ago though
I didnt hear about that but I did read that they were very loud and boozing it up a lot off set, I think some were even arrested.
Ladies and gents, may I introduce Tallulah Bankhead. She was a wild child before the term was even coined.
She was bisexual and proud of it way back in the 30's and 40's, and wasn't shy about declaring her love of sex. Once gave an interview in 1932 where she said "I'm serious about love. I'm damned serious about it now ... I haven't had an affair for six months. Six months! Too long ... If there's anything the matter with me now, it's not Hollywood or Hollywood's state of mind ... The matter with me is, I WANT A MAN! ... Six months is a long, long while. I WANT A MAN!"
Had an emergency hysterectomy in 1933 due to venereal disease. When she left the hospital, weighing barely 5st, she defiantly yelled at her doctor "Don't think this is going to stop me!"
Among her alleged lovers were Rex Whistler, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and Hattie McDaniels.

. Don't know how much truth there is in that thoughRumour is that Cary Grant was gay; he did a homoerotic(for the times) photo shoot with Randolph Scott. Cary would never admit to being gay, but privately, Randolph had no problem admitting it to people.
Plus, Cary dropped LSD over 100 times, supposedly on the advice of his psychiatrist.
