TVC 664.1: Ed welcomes actress Lindsay Bloom (Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, Dallas, The Dukes of Hazzard) and renowned sixties film historian Tom Lisanti (Talking Sixties Drive-In Movies, Carol Lynley: Her Film & TV Career in Thrillers, Fantasy and Suspense, Trippin’ with Terry Southern: What I Think I Remember, Ryan’s Hope: An Oral History of Daytime’s Groundbreaking Soap). Lindsay was not only the third actress to play screen legend Jean Harlow in a major motion picture, which Lindsay did when she played the Blonde Bombshell in Hughes and Harlow (1978), but was among the many people that Tom interviewed for Dueling

Harlows: The Race to Bring the Actress’s Life to the Silver Screen, a book that was originally published in 2011, but which Tom recently updated to include the back story of Hughes and

Harlow. Lindsay Bloom’s appearance on TV Confidential this week is courtesy of Tom Lisanti. Dueling Harlows is available from McFarlandPub.com
