Hollywood in Color is a new podcast telling the stories of the stars usually left out of entertainment history — the people of color in front of and behind the camera who have been representing for over a century. Host Diana Martinez has a PhD in film and media studies and has written for Slate, The Atlantic, and Women in Hollywood.
Every season of Hollywood in Color focuses on a certain star or set of stars that have something in common — maybe they were rivals, maybe they were friends, or maybe their lives echo one another from disparate points in time. By looking closely at the careers of successful people of color in Hollywood we can learn more about the industry, and how that industry shapes the way we think about race and ethnicity today.
Season 1 begins April 17. New episodes every Tuesday.
