The Alaskan Blonde

Young and beautiful Diane Wells was bruised and bloodied when she screamed for help in the early hours of October 17, 1953. Her wealthy husband Cecil had been shot dead while he slept.
Journalist and author James T. Bartlett returns to share new evidence he has uncovered on the murder and ensuing scandal involving Hollywood that made national news.
His book, The Alaskan Blonde; Sex, Murder, and the Hollywood Story That Shocked America, is available at the library or as an e-book at lapl.org if you’d like to read it before his in-person talk.
