About this listen

Every legend has two lives—
the one the world remembers,
and the one they fought to survive.

Famous or Infamous peels back the curtain on five unforgettable figures whose stories shaped entertainment, politics, and culture. Hosted within the narrative by the incisive Charlie Lovetts, this compelling volume plays like a full season of a prestige documentary series—each episode a riveting, deeply human biography.

Meet Jerry Connally, the rock star who soared, crashed, and clawed his way through fame’s unforgiving spotlight.

Step into the dual identity of Sadie Morris, known to millions as Silvia Mason, a gifted performer who reinvented herself until history struggled to keep up.

Ride alongside Sammy Barnett, the masked hero of a generation, whose off-screen battles were larger than any role he played.

Witness the rise, fall, and redemption of Tony Motino, the brilliant writer whose life became as dramatic as the stories he created.

And uncover the volatile partnership of Gilly & Tommy, the comedy team who made the world laugh while tearing each other apart.

Filled with interviews, archival-style commentary, and a narrative voice that blends empathy with unflinching honesty, Famous or Infamous explores the truth behind the legends—raw, flawed, and ultimately human.

Fame is a spotlight.
But every spotlight casts a shadow.
