Listen "Ep 64: Deborah Kerr as Sheilah Graham in Beloved Infidel (1959)"
Episode Synopsis
As part of the 'unholy trio' of gossip columnists, including Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper, Sheilah Graham wrote juicy articles about the stars during the golden age of Hollywood. In 1937, she began a passionate affair with F Scott Fitzgerald that lasted until the author's death in 1940. The film version, based on Sheilah's bestselling memoir, gives us a glossy romance, rather than the reality of Scott's addiction. Deborah Kerr gives a lush performance as the columnist. Gregory Peck gets to the heart of why Sheilah fell for him, and why she stayed, despite his epic benders.
