Marcus James Heslop (Frantastic!)

We interview Marcus James Heslop, author of Frantastic! The Amazing Story of Fran Fullenwider, the Plus-Sized Pioneer (Chinbeard Books). Among other things, we discuss what took Fran’s acting career from the United States to Europe, why she stood out as one of the most striking Transylvanians in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and how it can be a challenge tracking down episodes of rare foreign TV shows for research.
