From Marilyn Monroe and Robert Kennedy to Sharon Tate and Natalie Wood, the outspoken expertise of former Los Angeles County Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner Dr. Thomas Noguchi (who oversaw their autopsies) pushed forensic science into the spotlight—even as Hollywood elites and political adversaries sought to silence him. Now at age 98, Noguchi is again seizing the limelight, having recently been portrayed in the Tony-nominated Broadway musical “Dead Outlaw,” and here narrating his own filmed biography. Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at Slamdance, CORONER TO THE STARS chronicles the extraordinary journey of a Japanese immigrant who unexpectedly rose to fame in a city fueled by celebrity—and his groundbreaking, often controversial rulings that helped shape American culture.
