In this next installment of Dominick Dunne’s reporting on Margeret Rockefeller Strong, we investigate her first husband, George de Cuevas. George was a real fan of the ballet, which his wife lovingly supported through his lifetime, and even a little after his death.
George did enjoy a theatrical and artistic lifestyle, including delicate duels as well as hosting the Party of the Century in 1953 in Biarritz. He also enjoyed bringing a host of other artistic men around his wife, including Raymundo de Larrain and Jan de Vroom, whose stories are set up in this episode, coming back in full swing in next week’s conclusion.

The Gabor sisters were some of the most iconic cultural figures in the second half of the 20th century, having arrived on our shores from Nazi-occupied Hungary, where they experienced loss and engaged in heroic resistance. Along with their mother, Jolie, sisters Eva, Zsa Zsa, and Magda, stormed the mid-century zeitgeist and lived through extremely complicated family dynamics, as well as complicated romantic entanglements - including, between them all - 23 marriages, 18 divorces, two widowhoods, and two annulments. They were allies and rivals, poly-linguists, artisans, and entrepreneurs. But mostly, they were women possessed of a drive to succeed and an eternal willingness to bend their stories to suit the moment at hand.
This month, Trashy Divorces is proud to present the lives and loves of The Glamorous Gabors, an eight-episode arc bringing these four amazing women into focus in the 21st century. Listen online or wherever you get your podcasts!
The Glamorous Gabors was researched and written by Melanie Shawn, with our deep gratitude.

In this extended encore episode, we revisit The Two Mrs. Grenvilles arc to explore both the fact and fiction of the 1955 shooting death of William Woodward, Jr., by his wife Ann, and the class-wide coverup that New York’s fanciest families executed.
Dunne wrote 1985’s The Two Mrs. Grenvilles as a thinly veiled fictional account of the whole sordid tale, which landed right in the sweet spot of his interest in high society’s perfidy. The real account is so much more sordid.

This week, we travel alongside Dominick Dunne on a quest for justice in the murder of Martha Moxley, slain in the exclusive enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut, on October 30, 1975. The investigation was dormant for almost two decades, but our man Nick gets a whiff of a bigger mystery during the rape trial of William Kennedy Smith in 1991. With his curiosity aroused, Dunne begins his own investigation, resulting in his 1993 novel A Season in Purgatory, a fictional telling of the crime. But Dunne hadn’t really solved anything.
With the help of a confidential informant, Dunne has access to the Sutton Report – the file the Skakel family never wants seen. Dunne is going to make sure someone sees that report to continue the journey for justice for Martha. That person is former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman.

From the Trashy Divorces vault from January 2023, this Done & Dunne crossover episode unfolds the martial misadventure of RFK Jr. providing much backstory for our continuing investigation.
We’ve covered the Kennedy family in some detail during the show’s run, but like any sprawling dynasty, there’s always more to explore! This week, Alicia brings us the backstory of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of slain Attorney General and presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy. Let’s just say that Bobby experienced a troubled youth, which was certainly not helped by the high profile murders his family was subjected to, or his family’s effectively unlimited money and prestige.
After peering into RFK Jr's broken youth, Alicia brings us right up to the present day (at least, to the start of 2023, when these episodes originally aired) in the life of the notable womanizer and vaccine skeptic. With three marriages under his belt, he’s experienced disappointment and tragedy in love – but it’s never stopped him from continuing to try!

This week, our investigation turns to Huguette Clark, a Gilded Age heiress whose money ultimately purchased a very reclusive life. Huguette was a talented painter, devoted to her mother, and certainly liked collecting dolls too. Also included in this week’s story are many expensive real estate threads, a trashy divorce, an ugly legal battle over her will, and a connection to Sunny von Bulow too.

In this encore Done and Dunne episode, we continue our Kennedy Chronicles with the story of Kick Kennedy, the most exuberant of the Kennedy family members. Her story is truly something – the American girl who marries into the British aristocracy – but her story, and the story of the Kennedy family, is so much more than that.

In this continuing episode within our Kennedy Chronicles, we pick up the storyline of Ted Kennedy, and into the events of what should have been a wonderful July weekend in 1969. A group of twelve – six men and six women - gather to celebrate so many things. There is a whole lot happening this weekend on Chappaquiddick - the Apollo 11 moon journey, the 43rd Edgartown Yacht Club Regatta, and the memory of Robert F. Kennedy, assassinated just a year before.
How does this fun-filled weekend turn into Ted’s very worst nightmare? In this episode, we set up the facts we can establish. What are the details of this weekend that everyone can agree upon, at least on Friday, before Saturday comes around?

In today's episode, we take a look at the early life of Ted Kennedy, the last of the Kennedy children. Ted was a kid that took a lot of risks, with much to prove within his famous family. Not that any of that risky behavior ceased once Ted settled down with Joan Bennett. Ultimately, that marriage was not successful, ending in divorce after almost a quarter of a century, helped along with the many scandals and missteps of the last of the famous Kennedy children.

In this introductory episode about Dunne's writing on the Kennedy family, we explore a bit of the history and background about exactly why the Kennedy family hated Dominick Dunne so much. Dunne was there to cover so many of their scandals, and unlike the Kennedy men, always kept the inconvenient woman at the center of his narratives.
