Hello, slash film cast listeners.

I want to tell you about a new podcast from Wondry called Murder in Hollywood Land.

It's about the shocking murder of the famous film director, William Desmond Taylor, who

was the Steven Spielberg of the 1920s in Hollywood.

List of suspects would be as long as the Oscars red carpet and just a star studded.

And the investigation would eventually shine a light on some of Hollywood's most scandalous

affairs, backroom deals, and shadowy drug dens.

This real life murder mystery is one of the most iconic who'd done it cases of the 20th

century.

You will have you guessing and second guessing who killed William Desmond Taylor right up

to the end.

We're about to play a brief clip from the show, so make sure to subscribe to Murder in

Hollywood Land from Wondry on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or to listen ad free, go to Wondry

It's Thursday, February 2, 1922, shortly after 7 a.m., an unusually cold morning in Los

Angeles, California.

But the town will heat up soon enough, because a body is about to be found over at the

Alvarado Court Apartments, home to some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

You've probably seen some of them in the movie pictures.

The romantic leading man Doug McLean, who was fast asleep in apartment 406.

Doug is known as the man with a million dollars smile.

His wife Faith snuggled next to him as starred in films too.
