Kat Lively is a dynamic podcast host, content creator, storyteller, and creative force known for her raw, emotionally resonant approach to storytelling. Formerly the creator and host of Calling Old Hollywood, Kat gained recognition for preserving the voices of legendary figures in film and television.
Her path—and purpose—have since evolved.

Today, Kat is the host of the bold podcast Unfiltered—a space where polished personas are left behind and real stories are brought to light. The show features an eclectic range of guests—from celebrities and non-profit leaders to nomadic adventurers and everyday survivors—sharing unvarnished truths about grief, healing, transformation, and the deeper meaning of connection. Kat’s own story has captured the attention of millions. From being sold for drugs as an infant, to navigating adoption, loss, and the emotional complexities of life in and outside the entertainment industry, her journey has been one of resilience and rebirth.

In addition to podcasting, Kat creates viral social media videos where she shares personal stories of grief, loss, healing, and growth—helping others feel seen and supported through their own struggles. Her content has been featured in Newsweek and other major platforms, resonating with a global audience seeking authenticity and hope.

Her debut book, Child in the Wild, an entertainment-infused memoir, will be released on November 7. The book offers a raw and unfiltered look at her life story—blending trauma, survival, Hollywood reflections, and the emotional truth of healing—with the same vulnerability and depth that define her voice.

With a digital community of over 55,000 followers and content reaching more than 15 million views, Kat has cultivated a powerful community centered on truth, courage, creativity, and emotional transparency. Her work no longer focuses on preserving Hollywood’s past—but on illuminating the unfiltered human experience with today’s Hollywood. Whether she’s speaking with a culture-shifting artist or someone rebuilding after unimaginable loss, Kat brings empathy, depth, and fearless honesty to every conversation. Through Unfiltered, she continues her mission to uplift, inspire, and connect—one story at a time.
