Do you know actors such as William Shatner, Chris Pine, Leonard Nimoy, Kate Mulgrew, George Takei, and others may have Lucille Ball to thank for advancing their careers? Without her, Star Trek may never have happened. And that's a small part of what Tony shares of Lucy's intricate life: a showgirl turned comedic genius turned Hollywood studio president, a feat few could even dream of achieving.
Tony and Brad's conversation also includes Tony's passionate and insightful tales of Tinseltown's golden era. From his personal journey to LA in the 90s, with nothing more than dreams of an Emmy, to his intimate knowledge of Hollywood's transformation over the years, Tony enlightens us about the evolution of the film industry, the fading era of relationship-focused films, and the impact of CGI. Tony paints a vivid picture of yesteryear's Hollywood, contrasting it with today's ever-evolving landscape. Through his eyes, we see the intersection of glamour and grit, the migration of film studios, and the transformation of classic locations, invoking nostalgia for a bygone era.
