Ryan and Jason pay tribute to a fallen Lady: a woman who disappeared from the spotlight after an extended and iconic run as America's little sister Joanie Cunningham, only to pop up periodically when it seemed the news was less than good. A woman who we hope found the happiness she sought for so many years outside of the grind that is Hollywood's sausage factory, Ms. Erin Moran.

Ryan and Jason pay tribute to a fallen Lady: a woman whose distinctive face and voice is emblematic of a different time in Hollywood, one in which character and talent was valued above bland conventional sex appeal, and when theatre actors could transition seamlessly to a film career. Our tribute to a Lady whose life and work were cut egregiously short by her sudden death, Glenne Headly.

On another installment in the series of Dead LadyWatch episodes, Ryan and Jason take a cruise along the trail of fascination and hindsight, this time plumbing the depths of the tragedy and mystique surrounding all the highs and lows of the great Natalie Wood's meticulously calculated career and consistently timely womanhood, as well as (of course) the storied and tumultuous romance that would eventually navigate her into the murky circumstances surrounding an untimely and puzzling death at the tender Lady-in-Waiting age of 42.
