Death in Paradise: An Illustrated History of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner

Join Jacqueline Foreman as she interviews author Brad Schreiber about his book Death in Paradise: An Illustrated History of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner. Unnatural celebrity deaths and unnaturally celebrated murders pockmark the history of Los Angeles, looming as large in the public imagination as the Hollywood stars themselves. Death in Paradise is the first authorized history of Los Angeles by way of its coroner's office, revisiting important or high-profile cases that remain shrouded in mystery. With many never-before-published photographs documenting the notorious deaths of Bobby Kennedy, Sam Rummel, Dorothy Dandridge, Bugsy Siegel, Sharon Tate, Janis Joplin, and others, this book presents an unflinching view of Tinseltown's dark underbelly. The book includes over 100 photographs of infamous crimes from every decade of the 20th century. Join us for this insightful, interesting and entertaining show. This one of the last shows of the Summer for YMHTR before we go on hiatus!
