2w ago00:37:03Tap to summarizeRamiel Petros and Nicholas Freeman join Kate to talk about their documentary The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel, the story of former Norwich City footballer Tony Powell — a 1970s soccer star who vanished from public life for over 40 years and was later found managing a run-down West Hollywood motel. What started as a short film about a disappearing building on Santa Monica Boulevard turned into a five-decade, two-continent story about identity, family, and the cost of staying hidden. Kate talks with Ramiel and Nick about how they first spotted Tony on his balcony, how they earned his trust over years of filming, and what it was like to help him reconcile the life he built in West Hollywood with the one he left behind in England.
