S3 Ep298: Johnny Stompanato: The Actress...

Audioboom Studios
About this episode
Hollywood, 1958. Glamour. Fame. Scandal. But behind the velvet curtains
of silver screen royalty, a violent storm was brewing. Johnny Stompanato-
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.
