Hollywood, 1958, glamour, fame, scandal. But behind the velvet curtains of silver-screen

royalty, a violent storm was brewing.

Johnny Stomponado, charming, dangerous, and deeply entangled with one of Hollywood's biggest stars,

would soon be found dead on the floor of a Beverly Hills mansion. Was it an accident based on a

misunderstanding, a mother's desperate act, or something far more sinister?

Today we unravel the sensational murder that rocked Tinseltown and left the world wondering what really happened behind Lana Turner's closed doors.

Music closed doors. Hello, everybody.

Welcome back to Crime Weekly.

I'm Stephanie Harlow.

And I am Derek Lavasar.

So I'm very excited for our new series because this is one that I don't know.

Everybody who knows me will know I'm a big history buff.

And I love the Golden Age of Hollywood.

There's so much scandal and drama, so many crimes covered up, the extent of what went down during that time and in that place,

the things we'll never know about and the things we found out about sense are endless.

But this one has always attracted me because it's got the whole celebrity aspect,

Golden Age of Hollywood, the mafia, the mob, you know, all the things that I really

enjoy. So I've had a lot of fun researching this case. I had a lot of fun writing the script.

We should be able to get this done in about three parts, fingers crossed, but I think you guys

are really, really going to enjoy this one. And I'm going to set the stage for you.

As always, this first episode is going to be very much exposition, world building,

kind of setting the backdrop of, you know, how we even got to where we ended up.
