Fan Mail
Love your show, Going Hollywood! I listen to eps all the time, over and over. I'm kinda sad now though 'cuz really wanted you to do "Lion in Winter" but you just did a Katharine Hepburn ep. Loved that ep as well, tho. Maybe you can do it next season? Some other suggestions: "These Old Broads." Yes I know it's past your cutoff, but the actresses are all from Golden Hollywood. Would be great to hear some BTS stories on that, since it was Elizabeth Taylor's last movie. And another Lucy ep would be awesome as well!
