🇺🇸 February 1922. Actor and director William Desmond Taylor is found shot to death in his home in Los Angeles. The Irish immigrant had arrived in Hollywood at the intersection between silent films and talkies and established himself as a formidable name in the burgeoning American film industry. However, after his death, those who thought they knew him best discovered that they knew little about this mysterious figure. And over a century later, Hollywood’s first murder mystery remains unsolved.
