S2 Ep34: Ramon Novarro: The Life and Death of a Screen Idol

As Hollywood found its footing at the turn of the 20th century, so did a handsome young artist who'd soon be known around the world as Ramon Novarro. In his heyday, the Mexican-born actor was mentioned alongside leading men like Rudolph Valentino. But with the discovery of his battered body decades after his star had faded, Novarro became better known for the personal life he'd spent his whole life trying to keep private.

"Crimes of the Centuries" is a podcast from the Grab Bag Collab exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.
