EPISODE 20 - “Greg Bautzer: Hollywood’s Legal Lothario” - 01/29/2024 Long before notorious trials like O.J. SIMPSON's made momentary celebrities out of legal eagles like JOHNNIE COCHRAN, ROBERT SHAPIRO and ROBERT KARDASHIAN, there was attorney GREG BAUTZER. From the working class docks of San Pedro, this ambitious Golden Boy with movie-star good looks and a brilliant legal mind became the most trusted confidante of the elite of Hollywood. Not only was he a peerless power broker for the likes of HOWARD HUGHES and KIRK KERKORIAN, but he also dated the most eligible Hollywood actresses, including LANA TURNER, DOROTHY LAMOUR, GINGER ROGERS and JOAN CRAWFORD. This week, we explore the cases, the women, and the life of this legal Lothario.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The Man Who Seduced Hollywood: The Life & Loves of Greg Bautzer, Tinseltown’s Most Powerful Lawyer (2013), by B.
