Through his love and passion for the stars of yesteryear, he presents a review of timeless films, which also uniquely capture seldom told accounts of America’s story. Bypassing the legendary stars from the Sudio Era’s Golden Age, Forgotten Hollywood Forgotten History focuses on the character actors and acresses tha consistently delivered stellar performances, and it offers a bold fresh new take on our collective past.
