In 1981, an 11-year-old got a phone call that would change his life. He wasn’t a child actor. Just a suburban kid enjoying summer break. But he had something no other kid had — something Steven Spielberg needed to make his most ambitious movie yet.

We teamed up with @joepompeo to examine Agatha Christie’s biggest mystery, which unfolded outside her books.
Dana, Zaron and I revisit the 11 days she went missing, and the media circus her disappearance inspired.

Did you know that in the early 20th century, it wasn’t just athletes competing for medals at the #Olympics? It was poets and artists as well.
@DanaSchwartzzz tells the remarkable story on ‘Very Special Episodes.'

The 1904 Olympics in St. Louis were not as well-organized as the modern-day Games.
On ‘Very Special Episodes,’ @DanaSchwartzzz tells the wild story of the marathon, which involved runners taking naps, using cars and doping using rat poison.
