Tony Maietta is a noted film and television historian, author and host. He has appeared in numerous film documentaries on classic Hollywood, including works on Vincente Minnelli, William Holden, Jack Lemmon, Billy Wilder, Ida Lupino, and the queer trailblazer, director Dorothy Arzner. The most recent, “Mary Pickford: A Blessing and a Curse”, just won the audience prize at the American Documentary Film Festival the past April. He appeared in the Emmy-nominated Turner Classic Movies documentary series, Moguls and Movie Stars as well as in his own television series, here’s Hollywood! in which he discussed classic films through an LGBTQ+ lens. He was the on-camera host for the CBS Home Video DVD releases of The Lucy Show and I Love Lucy, in which he interviewed such show biz luminaries as Lucie Arnaz, Carole Cooke, and Robert Osborne. In 2018 he co-wrote the award-winning book, The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens with the “Marble Faun” himself, Jerry Torre, which depicts Torre’s life with the two iconoclastic aristocrats, Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Edie, from the documentary Grey Gardens. The book is currently being adapted into a limited dramatic series. His most recent project is the podcast, Going Hollywood, in which he and his co-host, Brad Shreve, discuss, debate, and often disagree about classic films and television from Hollywood’s “golden age”.
