    Dick Powell: A One-Person Play in Two Acts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
    Dick Powell made a career of reinventing himself.Born in Arkansas, the young tenor played horn and banjo, and sang with various dance bands and orchestras in Pittsburgh and elsewhere before he was brought to Hollywood, where he sang opposite Ruby Keeler and others in such classic Busby Berkeley musicals as 42nd Street, Footlight Parade, Gold Diggers of 1935, and the Al Jolson film, Wonder Bar. In the mid-1940s, Powell played Philip Marlowe in Murder, My Sweet, which began his period of doing "tough guy" roles in films like Cornered, Johnny O'Clock, and Cry Danger.His astute mind for business led him to invest in real estate, and in the early 1950s, he moved his show-business interests into producing and directing. Along with David Niven and Charles Boyer, he formed Four Star Productions, one of the most prolific production companies in television.Powell was married three times. His second wife was actress Joan Blondell and his third, actress June Allyson, 12 years his junior.Michael B. Druxman's Dick Powell is a one-person play that looks in on the actor at two different periods in his life: during the mid-1940s when he is struggling to reinvent his career from singer to dramatic actor, and the mid-1950s as he deals with billionaire Howard Hughes, producer of director Powell's ill-fated (and deadly) John Wayne-epic film, The Conqueror. ungekürzt.

    I Loved Her in the Movies: Memories of Hollywood's Legendary Actresses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min
    Film and television actor and New York Times best-selling author Robert Wagner's memoir of the great women movie stars he has known. In a career that has spanned more than 60 years, Robert Wagner has witnessed the twilight of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the rise of television, becoming a beloved star in both media. During that time he became acquainted, both professionally and socially, with the remarkable women who were the greatest screen personalities of their day. I Loved Her in the Movies is his intimate and revealing account of the charisma of these women on film, why they became stars, and how their specific emotional and dramatic chemistries affected the choices they made as actresses as well as the choices they made as women. Among Wagner's subjects are Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Swanson, Norma Shearer, Loretta Young, Joan Blondell, Irene Dunne, Rosalind Russell, Dorothy Lamour, Debra Paget, Jean Peters, Linda Darnell, Betty Hutton, Raquel Welch, Glenn Close, and the two actresses whom he ultimately married, Natalie Wood and Jill St. John. In addition to offering perceptive commentary on these women, Wagner also examines topics such as the strange alchemy of the camera - how it can transform the attractive into the stunning and vice versa - and how the introduction of color brought a new erotic charge to movies, one that enabled these actresses to become aggressively sexual beings in a way that that black and white films had only hinted at. Like Wagner's two previous best sellers, I Loved Her in the Movies is a privileged look behind the scenes at some of the most well-known women in show business as well as an insightful look at the sexual and romantic attraction that created their magic. ungekürzt.

    Rogue's Gallery, Vol. 1: The Classic Radio Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 352min
    Rogue's Gallery was an old-time radio program starring Dick Powell as Richard Rogue, a private detective who trailed luscious blondes, protected witnesses, and did whatever else detectives do to make a living. What set this show apart from others in the genre was that midway through every episode, Rogue would invariably end up getting knocked out and spending his dream time in acerbic conversation on Cloud 8 with his subconscious self named Eugor - Rogue spelled backward. The presence of the alter ego served to give Rogue enough information for his final deduction. Eugor would appear cackling like the host of The Hermit's Cave while imparting some vital information our hero had overlooked. Rogue would then awaken with a vague idea of what to do next. Directed by Dee Englebach, with music by Leith Stevens, Rogue's Gallery employed radio's best supporting actors, including Lou Merrill, Gerald Mohr, Gloria Blondell, Tony Barrett, Lurene Tuttle, and Peter Leeds. Dick Powell left the series in 1946 and would later star in Richard Diamond, Private Detective. Rogue's Gallery continued on until 1952, starring Barry Sullivan and later Paul Stewart. Rogue's Gallery, Vol. 1 features the following 12 episodes: "Blondes Prefer Gentlemen" (10/18/1945); "Murder with Muriel" (10/25/1945); "Little Drops of Rain" (11/8/1945); "Lovely Little Old Lady" (11/29/1945); "Triangle of Death" (2/21/1946); "A Fortune in Furs" (12/20/1945); "The Stark McVey Case" aka "Murder at Minden" (1/3/1946); "The Pamela Leeds Case" aka "A Will in Question" (1/17/1946); "Carlotta, the Magnificent" aka "Special Added Attraction" (1/31/1946); "Death House Legacy" (4/4/1946); "The Star of Savoy" (6/23/1946); "Cabin on a Lake" (7/7/1946).

    The Lux Radio Theatre, Vol. 1: Classic Radio Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 351min
    Hosted by Cecil B. DeMille and starring numerous icons of the screen, this collection of old-time radio classics includes six episodes of The Lux Radio Theatre - one of the longest running, most extravagant shows from radio's golden age. The show featured the greatest stars in Hollywood appearing in hour-long radio adaptations of their biggest motion pictures, making this lavish production a veritable checklist of many of Hollywood's best films from the mid-1930s through the mid-1950s. The stars of the movie usually appeared in their audio counterparts, though sometimes contracts or schedules got in the way. The productions were live, with a full orchestra, and many Hollywood legends were not used to performing in public without the benefit of retakes. Just some of the stars that appeared on The Lux Radio Theatre include Elizabeth Taylor, Ronald Colman, Errol Flynn, Robert Young, Mickey Rooney, Humphrey Bogart, Barbara Stanwyck, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, James Stewart, and Loretta Young. Sponsored by Lever Brothers, the makers of Lux Soap, The Lux Radio Theatre came to radio in 1934 and lasted until 1955 for a total of 926 hour-long broadcasts. It transitioned to television in 30-minute weekly installments in 1950, with James Mason as host. Episodes include: "Kid Galahad", starring Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Wayne Morris, with special guest Jack Dempsey "The Perfect Specimen", starring Errol Flynn and Joan Blondell "The Devil and Miss Jones", starring Frank "Wizard of Oz" Morgan and Linda Darnell "Only Yesterday", starring Ida Lupino and Robert Young "The Petrified Forest", starring Ronald Colman and Susan Hayward "National Velvet", starring Elizabeth Taylor, Mickey Rooney, and Donald Crisp Language: English.
