The Poisoning of Olive Thomas
Manage episode 433807785 series 3372828
*Hey Misfits, have you signed up on our Patreon to receive the Fall Gift Package? If not, you have until Sept. 1st. Don't miss out!
If you'd rather not hear our banter/biznasty, skip ahead 5 minutes. We've got a tale for you today that is considered to be the first Hollywood scandal: the death of Olive Thomas. Olive was just 25 years old and at the height of her career when she died tragically while vacationing with her husband, Jack Pickford (yes, of THOSE Pickfords). Was it an accident, or something more sinister?
