The True Story of Elizabeth Short | The Black Dahlia with William J. Mann

Описание: One of the most infamous cases in American history — revisited.

In this episode, Seth Rosczewski and Rich Little sit down with William J. Mann, New York Times bestselling author and professor, to discuss the life and death of Elizabeth Short, known to the world as the Black Dahlia.

Mann’s new book, Black Dahlia: Murders, Monsters, and Madness in Mid-Century Hollywood, challenges decades of myth-making and media sensationalism — shifting the focus back to Elizabeth herself, the flawed investigation, and the cultural moment that turned a real woman into a legend.

🕵️ Topics include:
Elizabeth Short vs. the “Black Dahlia” myth
Media influence and investigative missteps
Lesser-known victims overshadowed by the case
Hollywood, Los Angeles, and post-WWII America
How and why Mann challenged the accepted narrative
