The Smallest Clique: Madams and Brothels of Golden Hollywood

Om avsnittet

This week, take a deep dive into one of the darkest sides of Hollywood's Golden Age. We'll be exploring the madams, procurers, and brothels that kept the film colony's thriving sex trade alive.

From infamous figures like Lee Francis to the "Black Widow" who lurked among some of Hollywood's most powerful figures. We'll explore some of the most harrowing and tragic stories from Hollywood's "white slavery" trade, and the people and places that made it happen.
