Los Angeles Times

In January nineteen thirty-nine, she was in a production called Thought for Food.

In another, She Made Her Bed, a Los Angeles Times critic called her a fetching little trick.

Not exactly a rave, but she'd gotten noticed.

Her first break came later that year through a friend from the acting school who had an audition at RKO.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't stay that way for long.

On March 22nd, 1962, newspapers across the country picked up an Associated Press dispatch by reporter Andrew Maisels.

The headlines from the Milwaukee Journal to the Los Angeles Times said it all.

"Once glittering star Veronica Lake now cocktail waitress." "Veronica Lake is a waitress now." "Glamour girl Veronica working for meals." Maisels had identified Connie De Toth, a cocktail waitress working downstairs at the Martha Washington Hotel, as Veronica Lake, the screen star Paramount had made famous twenty years earlier.

He was in a Pittsburgh uniform, and there was a picture of him pitching to Parker, taken from behind the plate.

And it shows him falling off the mound in his delivery.

It holds a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a Metacritic score of 85, qualifying it for, um, Metacritic's Universal Acclaim ranking and giving it the Must See seal.

In the Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan wrote, uh, whose review is one of three rated 100 on Metacritic, wrote, quote, "Straight arrow and subversive, made with simplicity as well as sophistication.

The Iron Giant remembers the wonder of being a child and understands how to convey that in a media-savvy age.

Both a step back and a step forward from the trends of modern animation, it feels like a classic even though it's just out of the box." In Variety, Lael Loewenstein wrote, quote, "A visually appealing, well-crafted film, The Iron Giant is an unalloyed success that works on several levels.

The billboard is a reminder that they've never found her.

I thought, what happened to her? Why are there no answers? So I started researching it." Now, after reading an LA Times article on the case, Lambert realized that he lived near many of these locations involved, and he began retracing Smart's final steps.

But what if the loop is actually running the opposite way? The way you're breathing, the shallow, fast, chest-level breathing most of us do on autopilot all day long is signaling to your nervous system that you are in danger before a single anxious thought even forms.

Today, I'm speaking with Sigmar Berg, founder of Lovetuner, a breathwork and sound healing tool featured in CNN and the LA Times, about why the fastest way to calm your anxiety doesn't go through your mind at all.

And I was so excited to jump into this conversation that I forgot to welcome Sigmar to the show.

So welcome, Sigmar.

Henry Rollins is such a... a character in his own right.

And he had a column with the LA Times for years, like musings.

And I remember, like, through college, I would read them.

Because I get the paper for a long time, too.

Every single time.

But I only got on Wednesdays and Sundays.

But anyway, yeah, his musings that he did for the LA Times were always funny.

Some of them were good.

Some people are gonna argue about it and say, no, no, no, no, no, and, and I'm just gonna go with it.

And it's like, okay, fine.

And so, uh, I set all this up and, uh, the LA Times goes first and, and, um, I can't remember if it was the, I don't know if it was the studio publicist or the, uh, or her personal publicist comes in and, and sees that I, I've set up strobes.

And they're like, "Oh, uh-"
