August 14, 2015 2:50 PM Subscribe
Charles Manson's Hollywood: Classic and forgotten Hollywood podcast You Must Remember This (previously: 1, 2) takes a deep and fascinating season-long look at the many connections of Charles Manson and his followers to the LA music and arts world of the late 1960s.
Between his arrival in LA just before the Summer of Love to his final imprisonment in 1971, Manson or members of his "family" crossed paths with Dennis Wilson, Joan Didion, Terry Melcher, Kenneth Anger, Dennis Hopper, Angela Lansbury, John Waters and other celebrities and counterculture icons. Host Karina Longworth digs deep into LA's essential influence on Manson, the effect of his crimes on the world of hip celebrities and cinema, and the long, cold shadow cast by the Tate-LaBianca murders:
This season, You Must Remember This will explore the murders committed in the summer of 1969 by followers of Charles Manson, and the Hollywood music and movie scene surrounding the killings. Throughout the series, we’ll learn how a single sociopath’s thwarted dreams of fame and fortune led to the gruesome events which became the symbolic “end of the sixties.” Episodes explore the various celebrities, musicians, movie stars and filmmakers (including Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate, The Beach Boys, Dennis Hopper, Doris Day and more) whose paths crossed with Manson’s in meaningful ways, both leading up to the murders and in their aftermath. [First], we’ll talk about what was going on in the show business capital that made Manson seem like a relatively normal guy. Then we’ll lay out the basic facts of who was killed, and how, in order to begin to explain how these unthinkable crimes fit in to the tapestry of one of the most tumultuous times in Hollywood history.
