Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Carrie Mitchum, daughter of actor Christopher Mitchum, granddaughter to iconic actor Robert Mitchum and mother to actor Grace Van Dien. And while that’s a lot of actors in your family, we haven’t even mentioned her actor brother, her actor uncle, her great actor or her own acting career! I’m talking actors! That’s quite a family business! The Fonda’s, the Bridges’ and the Douglas’s aint got nothing on The Mitchum’s. Although maybe the Huston’s rival all this. Anyway, I digress….

We jumped around on the latest episode with Carrie because there was frankly so much to talk about. Of course we wanted to know what life was like with Grampa Robert – and we do. But we also heard so much about her own acting career starting with the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful as well as her time growing up in Europe and Asia on movie sets starring her father. Moreover, it’s a total trip to know she had cookies on sitting on the lap of one of Europe’s most feared dictators as part of that experience.

We also talk to Carrie about her grandfather’s film and his recording career, her father’s films with John Wayne, growing up at the Green Acres estate with Harold Lloyd and our prior guest Suzanne Lloyd, the poetry of Robert Mitchum, her daughters time on Stranger Things, grampa’s favorite food, being on the set of the film, That Championship Season, how no one really knows a family dynamic just by reading a tabloid, what NAR means, The Mitchum Steakhouse, being married to a “sex symbol” and much more. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.
