A new podcast series based on the unpublished Polly Platt memoir It Was Worth It delves into her involvement in the The Other Side of the Wind and the personal relationship between Orson Welles and his collaborator, Oja Kodar.

The multi-episode Polly Platt: The Invisible Woman is part of the You Must Remember This podcasts produced by Karina Longworth.

Quite a fascinating series, a tribute to a remarkable
woman who had a somewhat tumultuous but in its own way highly
successful career. Much about her has been an enigma
until now, but this goes a long way toward answering the questions.

I've listened to the whole series as well, and have found it a riveting look behind-the-scenes at the inner workings of Hollywood. Platt comes across as a very strong and talented woman, too often overshadowed. Good to see her getting her due with such an interesting podcast series. I'm looking forward to listening to the tenth and final episode tonight.
