213. The Rockefeller Heiress and Her Ballet Boys, Part Two
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.

Introducing The Glamourous Gabors!
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. Learn more about your ad choices.
