I'm so thrilled to be one of eight contributors to Karina Longworth's new guest series of the You Must Remember This podcast, on the forgotten history of Hollywood's first century. The series is called Make Me Over, exploring all the intersections of the beauty industry and American movies in the 20th century. My episode, which I researched, wrote, and voiced, was about Hollywood's first weight-loss guru and dietician to the stars, Madame Sylvia of Hollywood. In the 1920s and 30s, she literally whacked celebrities like Gloria Swanson and Jean Harlow into shape -- but she also released a catty tell-all memoir about their secrets!
