These tapes consist on two interviews and three phone conversations (recorded without the knowledge of the two actresses) between newspaper columnist Shirley Eder and actresses Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Crawford.
The first tape is an interview Eder recorded in the 1960s while the three women had tea at the 21 Club in New York.
The second tape is a conversation between Crawford and Eder in which Joan tries to explain her behavior at a White House dinner. It took place in 1967.
The third tape shows Stanwyck talking to Eder on the phone about Crawford.
In the fourth tape, Joan (a bit drunk) and Shirley talk while riding a limousine.
Finally, the fifth tape is a conversation between Barbara and Shirley about their now late friend, Joan.
