Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna have another fascinating discussion with the great Casey Sherman. Casey is an acclaimed journalist and author of more than ten books. He is also a contributing writer for Esquire, Time, The Washington Post, and Boston Magazine. His latest book, A Murder In Hollywood, is the subject of this conversation and in it, Casey digs deep to uncover the dark underbelly of old-time Hollywood. Join us as we navigate through the lives of Lana Turner, her daughter Cheryl and Lana's wildly abusive lover, a mobster named Johnny Stompanato.
