Episode two of The Last Bohemians LA, supported by @audiotechnica_eu, is with An! Actual! Bond! Girl! Gloria Hendry made cinema history in 1973 when she became 007’s first black love interest. She also starred in some cult blaxploitation films of the 1970s - she flips it and calls this era the ‘Black Renaissance’ - and was a Playboy Bunny at the same time as training to be a legal secretary at the NAACP in the Civil Rights era before that. Her life could be a film. We loved Gloria. Her laugh is infectious and she’s an amazing storyteller. Hope you enjoy this one.
Out to @hollyloufish who spent many hours sorting her rider, @roxanne_roll for the frankly incredible portraits and @georgierogers on editing duties.
A huge thank you to @richeymack and Mr and Mrs Smith for sorting us with a posh hotel to stay in where we could record and do a swank job. My review of the DTLA Proper is up on their site now.
