About – Beware of the Blog

Siblings Manny Pacheco and Virginia Vandewouwer have collaborated to chronicle Hollywood pop culture during the first two decades of the twentieth century. With over twenty-two hundred blogs written by Manny over a twelve-year period through 2020, Virginia was able to pick out one-hundred and twenty-five stories that best represent the writer’s perspective as a Hollywood historian. Presented here and resembling diaries written centuries before, “Beware of the Blog” captures and document precious time-capsule moments of our fun cultural recent history; many easily forgotten in emails and tweets.
