Photo credit: Robert Zimiga
Born a heterochromatic baby (put down the medical reference book - it means she's got two different colored eyes) with the last name "Bible" on Halloween night, Karie was destined to be nothing if not unique. Her passion for history and Hollywood's past led her to starting a cemetery tour in 2002 under the guidance of historian Marc Wanamaker. In keeping with her love of living history, she gives the tour in vintage gowns from her collection that spans the 1920s through the 1950s.   Karie has lectured at The Old Town Music Hall, The Queen Mary, The Homestead Museum and is also a "Lady in Black" to honor silent film star Rudolph Valentino.  Plus she created the website and e-newsletter FilmRadar.com about specialty film events in Los Angeles.  Karie has appeared in segments for Turner Classic Movies, CNN, History Channel, and Travel Channel.  She co-authored the book "Location Filming in Los Angeles" with historians Marc Wanamaker and Harry Medved and co-authored "Hollywood Celebrates the Holidays" with Mary Mallory.  A vintage lifestyle devotee, she lives in a 1920s apartment and collects clothing from the 1920s to the 1950s.  Karie is also the host of "Hollywood Kitchen" where she makes the recipes of stars from Hollywood's Golden Age, all while interviewing historians, authors, and her fellow film lovers.  She joins us from her home in Los Angeles.
COMING UP NEXT WEEK
Join us next week, Friday July 30th, for the second half of our interview with Karie.  You can find out more about her tours at cemeterytour.com and her at show at hollywoodkitchenshow.com.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT:  Tracey Goessel
Although both a physician and an entrepreneur, Tracey Goessel’s true passion is silent film history.  In 2015 she published The First King of Hollywood, a biography of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., dubbed by The New York Times to be "a buoyant handspring of a book... one of the most delightful Hollywood biographies to slide down the mast in years.” The book has just come out in paperback in 2018.  In addition, she founded the nonprofit Film Preservation Society, which has recovered and restored several silent films formerly thought to be lost or unavailable for viewing, including Fairbanks’ Mr. Fixit, The Good Bad Man, and The Halfbreed. FPS funded the software that enables the Library of Congress to scan original paper prints of silent films from the first decade of the 1900s, and currently the goal is to restore all 485 D.W. Griffith Biograph films that were made between 1908 and 1913.
