60. F. Scott Fitzgerald Under Sunset Blvd (w/ Matthew Specktor)
About this episode
F. Scott Fitzgerald died a few steps below Sunset as a broken man and cautionary symbol of what Hollywood can do to your talent and soul. But how true is that fable? Matthew Specktor -- author of Always Crashing in the Same Car: On Art, Crisis & Los Angeles, California and founding editor of the L.A. Review of Books -- joins me on a journey from Fitzgerald's Hayward Ave. apartment to the Westmount Drive home of mercurial screenwriter Carol Eastman, in search of secrets to the shadow stars who aren't so easy to step on.
