    161. Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst (Trashy Divorces Crossover)

    Media mogul William Randolph Hearst can be cast as a hero or a villain of the 20th century, and plenty of writers have taken a stab at pinning down his legacy definitively. But one of the lesser remembered aspects of Hearst's life was his abandonment, in 1917, of his wife, Millicent, and their five sons, to spend the rest of his life with actress Marion Davies. One quirk of this arrangement is that Millicent never consented to a divorce from her husband, and while this scandalous state of affairs might have sunk a less powerful person, Hearst's ability to manipulate the vast media empire he owned protected him, and allowed Marion's life and career to flourish on the West Coast.

    156. Swimming with The Swans (Alicia’s Version) | The Auchincloss Wives: Nina Gore Vidal and Janet Lee Bouvier

    We completely depart the Feud series this week, beginning the first of a three-episode arc to unpack the real feud, which is little featured in the series – the feud between Truman Capote and Gore Vidal.

    This week, in a prologue of sorts, we connect Gore Vidal and Lee Radziwill, long associated before Truman, who are stepsiblings through marriage, thanks to Hugh D. Auchincloss. Hugh’s second and third wives, respectively, were Nina Gore Vidal and Janet Lee Bouvier, mothers of Gore and Lee. This one is multi-layered and involves so many spiderwebs.
