Here’s Boxie and I with this month’s “Ask Me Anything” on George Hodel.
Reminder: Do NOT dress up like the Black Dahlia for Halloween.
In this session, I discussed Steve Hodel, James Ellroy and Rick Jackson.
We also talked about:
–The alleged “film” of Elizabeth Short celebrating V-J Day on Hollywood Boulevard.
–Ellroy’s claims that he read the coroner’s file on Elizabeth Short.
–What was Ellroy’s opinion of John Gilmore and Janice Knowlton?
–Steve Hodel’s claims about not remembering being abused/neglected by his mother, nor “having sex” with Tamar Hodel.
–Tamar Hodel and the trial of George Hodel.
–Did anyone know George Hodel and Elizabeth Short?
–Does Ruth Spaulding have any living relatives?
–Was the LAPD really corrupt in the 1940s?
–Was George Hodel out of the country at the time Suzanne Degnan was killed in January 1946?
–Was John Huston ever at the Sowden House?
–Will the myth and legend of George Hodel fade after Steve dies or is it here for good?
