The Daredevils of Hollywood
Ione Reed
von
The Daredevils of Hollywood is a radio program centered on the daring performers and dangerous stunts associated with motion-picture making. Its title evokes the risk-taking side of Hollywood, where action scenes depended on people willing to perform feats that could put them in real danger.
This recording is identified with Ione Reed and dated May 23, 1938. The program offers a glimpse of Hollywood’s stunt world through the lens of radio, bringing its subject to listeners without the visual spectacle of the screen. The appeal lies in hearing about the people and work behind cinematic action, and in the contrast between radio storytelling and the physical risks suggested by the show’s premise.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
