Go beyond the grim and tasteless urban legend that surrounds her tragic death in this special Close Up episode of The Old Movie Lady Podcast, where Marg explores the life and career of a woman Gary Cooper described as being as “elusive as quicksilver” — the one and only Lupe Vélez.
This episode contains mention of suicide and intimate partner violence, as well as language which may be inappropriate for some listeners. Please forgive audio issues midway through the episode when The Old Movie Lady's upstairs neighbour apparently decided to join the Blue Man Group.
