Inspired by time spent living in James Dean’s former Upper West Side apartment, Kat Lively launched Calling Old Hollywood in December 2019. The podcast is dedicated to preserving and celebrating 20th-century entertainment history and the legacy of the Golden Age of Hollywood. With no prior podcasting experience, Kat singlehandedly developed the concept and served as the host, producer, booker, and marketer of the show. Guests have included industry legends and icons such as Eric Roberts, Barbara Feldon, Catherine Hicks, Fred Stoller, Bruce Vilanch, Louis Gossett Jr., and family members of Natalie Wood, James Dean, and Tyrone Power—among hundreds of others.
