Gig Young: The Oscar-Winning Murderer - Part 1

Horrorwood: True Crime in Tinseltown

Mar 6 2024 • 1 hr 21 mins

Ahhh...the Academy Awards - a night of fashion, festivity and future murderers. Wait, what?

Gig Young was quite the hottie back in his day (think George Clooney but in the mid-1900s). He had Hollywood starlets falling at his feet and a career many actors could only dream of. But he also had a lot of inner demons stemming from an abusive and traumatic childhood, and left untreated (or mistreated, as was often the case) those demons would eventually find their way to the surface.

Note: There's a section where I talk about his first wife, Sheila, and how she didn't like attending parties with him. But I accidentally say Sophie instead of Sheila. Sorry about the confusion!
