Episode description as stored

Marilyn Monroe. Breakfast at Tiffany's . Rudolph Valentino. Casablanca . Anna May Wong. Gone with the Wind . Sidney Poitier. The Wizard of Oz . Audrey Hepburn. Singin' in the Rain . Alfred Hitchcock. The stars you think you know. The films that became legends. The people the world almost forgot. When They Were Making It — a narrative documentary podcast about classic Hollywood's greatest icons, from the silent era to the early 1960s. Not the myths. Not the takedowns. The whole human story of the glamour, the ambition, the machinery, and the damage behind the icons. WTWMI premiered May 26, 2026 with Marilyn Monroe (Part 1). Part 2 dropped June 2 — the day after what would have been her 100th birthday. — When They Were Making It is written, produced, and hosted by Patrick Rankin. Original artwork by Simone Beech and original music by Lionel Ziblat.
