About this listen

 EPISODE 101 - “UNCOVERING URSULA PARROTT: DR. MARSHA GORDON ON THE LOST LITERARY STAR” - 8/18/25 This week, we are thrilled to welcome film professor and author DR. MARSHA GORDON to discuss the life, career, and lost legacy of early feminist writer URSULA PARROTT. Parrott was a colorful character — a prolific and best-selling author, Hollywood screenwriter, and consistent headline-grabber during her avant-garde, unconventional life. Dr. Gordon, an expert on Parrott, discusses Parrott’s books, Hollywood deals, marriages and divorces, and run-ins with the law that made this writer such a fascinating subject.
