Summary

On season ten of Hollywood & Crime, seductive cocaine dealer Lanie Jacobs and ambitious variety show producer Roy Radin are desperate to break into the movie business. When they forge an alliance with famous power player Robert Evans, it seems they have it made. But a web of deceit and double crosses leads to paying a deadly price. Hosts Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas guide listeners into the dark underbelly of 1980s Hollywood, where the high-stakes worlds of cocaine trafficking and big-screen dreams were on a crash course with murder.
