EVERYONE IS A SALESMAN—In 1995, New York magazine declared Martha Stewart the “Definitive American Woman of Our Time.” And, as the saying goes (sort of), behind every Definitive American Woman of Our Time is another Definitive American Woman of Our Time. And that's today's guest, designer Gael Towey.But let's back up. It's 1982, and Martha Stewart, then known as the “domestic goddess”—or some other dismissive moniker—published her first book, Entertaining. It was a blockbuster success that was soon followed by a torrent of food, decorating, and lifestyle bestsellers.In 1990, after a few years making books with the likes of Jackie Onassis, Irving Penn, Arthur Miller, and, yes, Martha Stewart, Towey and her Clarkson Potter colleague, Isolde Motley, were lured away by Stewart, who had struck a deal with Time Inc. to conceive and launch a new magazine.Towey's modest assignment? Define and create the Martha Stewart brand. Put a face to the name. From scratch. And then, distill it across a rapidly-expanding media and retail empire.In the process, Stewart, Motley, and Towey redefined everything about not only women's magazines, but the media industry itself—and spawned imitators from Oprah, Rachael, and even Rosie.By the turn of the millennium, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, as it was rebranded in 1997, included seven magazines, multiple TV projects, a paint collection with Sherwin-Williams, a mail-order catalog, Martha by Mail, massive deals with retailers Kmart, Home Depot, and Macy's, a line of crafts for Michael's, a custom furniture brand with Bernhardt, and even more bestselling books. And the responsibility for the visual identity of all of it fell to Towey and her incredibly talented team. It was a massive job.We talk to Towey about her early years in New Jersey, about being torn between two men (“Pierre” and Stephen), eating frog legs with Condé Nast's notorious editorial director, Alexander Liberman, and, about how, when all is said and done, life is about making beautiful things with extraordinary people.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Mountain Gazette, Commercial Type, and Freeport Press.

On a narrow street in the old Greek quarter of Alexandria, the world renowned poet and writer Constantine Cavafy created some of the masterpieces that still inspire people across the world today. As of this past May, this home in Alexandria is now open to the public. Together with the Cavafy Archive in Athens, which is home to over 2,000 digitized manuscripts, with poems and handwritten notes, Cavafy's life and work are now accessible to a global audience. Prof. Gonda Van Steen, the Koraes Chair at the Centre for Hellenic Studies and Department of Classics at King's College London and a member of the academic committee for the Alexandria Cavafy House, joins me to explore why making Cavafy widely accessible is important, and look at why his work still inspires us today.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Onassis Foundation has restored Cavafy House in AlexandriaGreek poet who inspired Forster, Hockney and Jackie Onassis emerges from the shadowsGreek PM reiterates warning to North MacedoniaCyprus-US traveler data agreement ratified

Welcome to Made in the Hamptons , I'm your host Jill Laurence and this week I have a wonderful conversation with the man regarded as the merchant prince, former gap and JCrew CEO, Mickey Drexler.Mickey opens up about his early days in the retail industry at big names such as Bloomingdales and Ann Taylor, where he would sharpen his skills to move onto a pivotal role at the Gap. During his tenure he created the mega brand Old Navy, which would soar to unimaginable popularity, turning the Gap brand from a failing jean shop to an $18billion retail giant.Things would take drastic turn though as Mickey would be ousted from the company and you'll never believe who delivered the startling news.He would soon rebound at JCrew, where he also created the Madewell brand, turning the struggling preppy retailer into a design darling and favorite among the budding influencer industry. Today, he is a partner at Alex Mill, a brand the embodies the timeless and attainable design that Mickey is long known for.We also chatted about Mickey's impressive real estate collection namely his love for renovating historical homes in the Hamptons, one of which was Montauk's Eothen, the former long time estate of Andy Warhol, which has entertained such famous names as Jackie Onassis, The Rolling Stones, John Lennon, Halston and many more.I found it to be a wonderful conversation about resiliency, determination and hard work and I think you will really enjoy it as well. So without further ado, my conversation with Mickey Drexler.

Bröderna Maysles dokumentärfilm om mor och dotter i Grey Gardens från 1975 blev med tiden en riktig kultfilm, musikal på Broadway, spelfilm och tv-serie. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Katarina Wikars om den risigaste kåken i hela fashionabla East Hampton på Long Island utanför New York. där Big Edie och Little Edie tillsammans med tvättbjörnarna på vinden och ett tjog katter genomlever sina dagar och minns bättre tider. Det stundar utmätning och sanering. Då är det bra att vara nära släkt med Jackie Onassis, som skickar några som kommer och röjer upp.Och en annan dag kommer två dokumentärfilmsbröder dit, bröderna Maysles. De verkar i genren Direct Cinema, vilket betyder inga berättarröster eller raka intervjuer eller förklaringar. Så de är bara där, i Grey gardens, i sex veckor. Och hundratals filmade timmar blir en och en halv timme redigerad film som kommer att gå till historien om än långsamt.

Once you pop the fun don't stop. Drop by the shop for a photoshop op. Did Obama lie when he sold us his pie in the sky birds eye photo on the fly? We've all been fooled by nasa for years as we confirm your worst fears and talk about a photo that brought folks to tears. Fight through the garble of the famous blue marble and listen to the chimps with our marvelous warble. This camera caper produced on paper has fooled the masses since Jackie Onassis pulled the trigger on John and killed his dream of seeing the US team get to space in a race that cost him his face. Was Nixon fixin the competition? Did he commission a mission or a war of attrition? Don't be dissin, just listen and it'll come to fruition. A majestic mountain top photo and one of a lake, if you've seen it from space, chances are… it's a fake. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ewing-house-studios/support

Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Renowned historian and author Carl Sferrazza Anthony has done the impossible. In his new book Camera Girl, The Coming of Age of Jackie Bouvier Kennedy, he has told the usually forgotten and misunderstood origin story of a woman, who accurately described herself as the art director of the 20th Century. Indeed, much of the latter half of the 1900s saw a world obsessed with First Lady Jackie Kennedy, and intrigued by her as she became Jackie Onassis. Even 60 years after she left the White House as a widow, when I walked the Hapsburg's Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria, her name still hung in the air – like communion wine on the lips of the faithful. There, in the grand, baroque receiving room at the center of what was once one of Europe's greatest palaces built to rival Versailles, the guide mentioned that we gawking tourists were standing in the same room where the Austrian government officials once received Mrs. Kennedy. But beyond the mythic images of her blood-stained pink suit from that day in Dallas in 1963, or the dark sunglasses that would become her signature look in the 1970s, was a woman who grew up and was fashioned the ultimate outside insider. A nation, and a world hung their dreams on a woman that did not exist. At least not in total. As Sferrazza Anthony uncovers in his latest work on this iconoclastic figure, she was the survivor of an abusive mother and an emotionally needy father. She was an eccentric soul who dreamed of writing bylines and headlines, not grabbing them for herself. She had a relentless, almost pathological drive to be her authentic self – individualistic. Though from the very beginning of her life, others tried corseting her into roles that she found sometimes useful, but hardly determinative or even all that interesting. In his latest book, Sferrazza Anthony dramatically captures her subversiveness, her incisive and self-deprecating wit, and her passion for the power of language and words that was sparked by her time studying at the Sorbonne in Paris and traveling throughout Europe. More than John Kennedy's widow or being Jackie O., Sferrazza Anthony paints a portrait of woman who, like we the reader, was a multidimensional chameleon, and an ever-evolving human being.

In episode 16 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield take on another "throuple", this time a classic political/celebrity twist pertaining to John K. Kennedy and his relationships with his then wife Jackie Onassis and international bombshell Marilyn Monroe.  Looking into JFK's natal birth chart, we saw a Libra Rising with Gemini Sun, making him charming, airy, light-hearted and intelligent. As we looked deeper though, we found he had some high expectations when it came to his relationships. Jackie O. certainly fulfilled those expectations - as her natal birth chart showed flamboyant star power, a need to be of service and a paradoxical penchant for privacy. Then we have Marilyn, whose birth chart shows the seemingly naïve, dream girl that, in actuality, was a forever student with big brains of her own. Fun fact, all three had prominent Gemini placements, showing us the need for variety, flirtation and curiosity! Which relationship worked best? Who were the real stars of the show? Listen in to hear the Venus rating for JFK and these women and see if you can guess yourself!   Where to find Kristina and Tara!

Dirigida por Vilgot Sjöman, la película sueca “Soy curiosa (amarillo)” sigue las andanzas de una estudiante de teatro fascinada por ideas radicales sobre la sociedad. La cinta, provocadora y con escenas sexuales desenfadadas, generó escándalo a fines de los 60 e incluso fue prohibida en varias ciudades de los Estados Unidos. Pero una de las historias más llamativas en torno a la producción, ocurrió a la salida de una función en un cine neoyorquino, y terminó con Jackie Onassis (viuda de John Kennedy) derribando a un paparazzi en la vía pública.

Il nome fu pensato da Gil Cagnè che all'epoca ne curava le pubbliche relazioni: un esplicito omaggio ad una icona di quegli anni, Jackie Onassis, vedova di John Kennedy.Diventato da subito un punto di riferimento non solo per la Roma bene ma anche e soprattutto un “teatro” da dove le star internazionali raccontavano gli eccessi ed il benessere di quegli anni.

Den franska modeskaparen Christian Lacroix blev förknippad med 1980-talets excesser tack vare sina färgsprakande och dyra extra-allt-kläder. Nu har han varit i Sverige och Stil har träffat honom. Under 1980-talet var ingen modeskapare mer hyllad, hajpad och omskriven än Christian Lacroix. Han gjorde sig känd för att frossa i färger och blanda material och mönster och influenser från olika historiska epoker men också för sin sömnadskonst, på högsta nivå.Men numera skapar Christian Lacroix framför allt kostym för teater, opera och dans. Det har han faktiskt gjort under hela sin karriär, men idag är det hans främsta sysselsättning. Nuförtiden kommer min couture-sida till uttryck på scenen, som han säger.Under våren har Christian Lacroix varit på besök i Stockholm. Han har nämligen designat kostymerna till balettuppsättningen av Askungen, som har premiär på Kungliga Operan, i slutet av maj. Vi träffar honom mitt i förberedelserna inför premiären. Det blir ett samtal om vad som lockade honom till Stockholm, Askungen, tv-serien Absolutley Fabulous, Jackie Onassis och 1980-talets modevärld.

In addition to launching one of the most popular blogs globally, he has written 20 best-selling books, including The Dip, Linchpin, Purple Cow, Tribes, and What To Do When It's Your Turn (And It's Always Your Turn).  By focusing on everything from effective marketing and leadership to the spread of ideas and changing everything, Seth has motivated and inspired countless people around the world.  If you like this episode, please consider rating and reviewing the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

I discovered Seth's *many* books as I was starting my business years ago, and his ideas gave me so much confidence to create. And then I used to walk around New York City binge-listening to Seth Godin podcast interviews. In the dead of winter, his words and encouragement gave me a warm feeling as I circled the Jackie Onassis reservoir, taking mental notes. Now, Seth's on MY podcast, and I'm dyyyyyinnng to share this with you! In this interview, we talk about: - Is talent or skill more important? - Do you need volume to create success? - Why "nobody is coming to save you," and why that's a brilliant thing! And we don't always agree. Seth is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, and speaker. In addition to launching one of the most popular blogs globally, he has written 20 best-selling books, including The Dip, Linchpin, Purple Cow, Tribes, and What To Do When It's Your Turn (And It's Always Your Turn). By focusing on everything from effective marketing and leadership to the spread of ideas and changing everything, Seth has motivated and inspired countless people around the world. If you like this episode, please consider rating and reviewing the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

This week, we talk to Brooklyn-based bandleader and jazz-roots singer extraordinaire Sammy Rae, who for the last four years has barnstormed the country with her kinetic octet The Friends. Look, when you're young and inspired, you drop out of college, you're waiting tables and you think about starting a jazzy pop band - most people (as well as common sense and basic economics) tell you to start small. Get a few like-minded musicians in a room, work and work your best songs, try packing out a few local shows, put some radio-ready singles on the internet, do a music video or two. See what happens. But Sammy Rae does her own thing and has done pretty much the opposite. Much like your host of this fine program (who went against all advice and began Dustbowl Revival as an 8-10 piece genre-bending New Orleans-string band mashup in 2008), Sammy has harnessed the open-minded, countercultural energy of Broadway musicals, the slinky funk-pop of the 1970s AM radio and her own rapid-fire poetic style to create a massive sound that could only be made with three singers, two saxophones, and a fearless, seasoned rhythm section. And they all are friends who don't just treat this as a temporary weekend gig. Too much too soon? Well, ask the packed houses up and down the Eastern Seaboard if they care about playing it safe. Sammy knows the road ahead for The Friends won't be easy - but so far, the response from listeners has been undeniable. Starting at tiny supportive clubs in New York like Rockwood Music Hall and graduating to the biggest rooms in one of the hardest towns to impress, the group struck a nerve with their debut EP The Good Life in 2018 - with the standout jazzy experiment “Kick It To Me” gaining nearly ten million steams and counting. "Don't record songs over four minutes long," they keep telling us. "No one will pay attention!" Yet their most listened to track clocks in at nearly seven minutes. What's the lesson here? For Sammy it's finally learning to trust her instincts and be herself. Their upbeat EP Let's Throw A Party dropped in 2021 - and make sure you stick around to the end of the talk to hear how Sammy's experience as a queer teenager in a Connecticut girl's Catholic school informed their new track “Jackie Onassis.”

Guest Co-Host:  Rebecca Hoffman  rebecca@goodeggconcepts.comRebecca's Website:  www.GoodEggConcepts.comPodcast Guest:  Jane Jacob  jane@artverite.comJane's Website:  https://www.artverite.com/ Transcription:Kris Parsons  0:03  Welcome to changing the rules, a weekly podcast about people who are living their best life and how you can figure out how to do it too. Join us with your lively host Ray Loewe, better known as the luckiest guy in the world.Ray Loewe  0:17  Good morning, everybody. This is Ray Loewe and I am the luckiest guy in the world. And one of the reasons I'm the luckiest guy in the world is I'm sitting here in scenic downtown Woodbury, New Jersey, at the Wildfire, podcast studios, and with an engineer, Taylor, who absolutely takes all the care and worry about running a podcast off of me and makes this run. So we're here with our program, changing the rules. And let me take a minute and just refresh everybody's memory on rules, and why they need to be changed. You know, all during our lives, people throw rules at us. And they're still doing it today. I mean, we just had a whole series of COVID rules that were thrown at us. And when we get rules, they get to a point where they start to clutter our lives and start to get in the way. Rules either tend to be something that tells us what we have to do, or they tell us what we can't do. And at some point in our lives, we have to look at those rules and decide which of those rules are pertinent to us. And we have to figure out what our body of rules are going to be. And if you're living your life by somebody else's rules, you're living somebody else's lives. And only when you change the rules and make them your rules, do you become free to be you. And that's what this show is all about. And today, I actually have two guests, I have a guest host that I'm going to introduce in a second. And then we have a guest. So again, I'm lucky I get the best of all worlds. And they're both absolutely fascinating young ladies. And let's start with Rebecca Hoffman. And Rebecca has been our guest host for this month of April. And welcome to changing the rules, Rebecca.Rebecca Hoffman  2:11  Thanks, Ray, good to be here again with you this week.Ray Loewe  2:14  And I'm not gonna let you off the hook. We're gonna talk a little bit more about this good egg stuff. Okay. So I am, I met Rebecca, a good number of years ago, and, she was working on a marketing problem for me, and she introduced herself as the good egg. And I've always found this fascinating. Okay, and Rebecca, refresh our memory on why you're the good egg.Rebecca Hoffman  2:39  Well, it reaches back a long time ago, when I had to make my first email address and didn't know what an email handle should be. And my friend said, Be the good egg. And so I became the good egg many, many years before I ever was doing the sort of work I do now. And the name stuck as nicknames do.  Ray Loewe  2:55  And it's here, and the good egg is not broken. And in fact, the good egg is doing wonderful things. It's bringing life to new ideas. I think. So one of the things that Rebecca did for me a long ago and Oh, so far away, is she helped me craft a series of stories, which had been part of my marketing campaign. And, I'm not going to tell you the stories, you've probably heard them already. But we have the story about the airplane, and the hyenas, and the penguins, and the map, and the geezer jock, of all things. And one of the things I learned from Rebecca is the power of a good story. And what she is a master at is creating stories, and teaching people how to create stories that will become part of their brand and memorable to them. So that they get that kind of right, Rebecca?Rebecca Hoffman  3:46  Thank you. I as I like to say like, I need to spend more time with you, Ray? Because you make me feelRay Loewe  3:50  well, and I'm not finished. I'm going to take this line out of your website, which absolutely fascinates me. So good egg concepts is an economical, thoughtful, clever, endlessly curious consulting firm focused on your goals for brand. And Rebecca, welcome to changing the rules.Rebecca Hoffman  4:12  Thank you, Ray.  It's good to be here with you.  Ray Loewe  4:15  And we have a guest today and this is a guest, we wouldn't have if you weren't being our guest host. And she is an absolutely fascinating, fascinating lady. And why don't you give us a little bit of background on Nicole, other than I want to start with one line and then we're gonna come back to this? This whole podcast is about from CIA to art sleuth?Rebecca Hoffman  4:41  Yes, that's a good hint. Well, I'd like to introduce Jane Jacobs, who I've known now for more than 20 years. We were introduced through some work we were able to do together and she hired me when I was quite young, and we work together at the Terra Museum of American Art in Chicago. And that's where I got to know Jane. But really, over the years, I've stayed in touch with Jane. We're friends, we've had the chance to collaborate a few times. But Jane is spectacular and that her entire career has focused on art, but not just art, really on the qualities of art that need to be protected and how to do that. And she's done this in a few different ways through an art consulting practice. And most recently now through the launch of artVerite.com.  Art Verite is her new, newest company launch a multimedia company that's providing documentary film to protect artists, and inform collectors and everyone who needs to know, in the art world. what's what. So I think, without further ado, we should introduce Jane and invite Jane into our conversation. And I think what would be really fun because Ray, you alluded to this, Jane had an interesting childhood. And if you could briefly tell us how your childhood possibly has informed your career. There's always tendrils reaching back, and we'd love to hear so thank you, Jane, for being with us.Jane Jacob  6:06  Oh, thank you so much, Rebecca, and Ray for this invitation to have a conversation with you all. To answer your question, Rebecca, I would very succinctly say that the Cold War crash with art for me. I'm the daughter of a CIA operative, and my life was spent moving around the world and included a stint where I began school in Okinawa, off the coast of Japan. And my father was always out of the country. And we were out he was out of the country that we were in, you know, so we kind of grew up with a mother who loved Jackie Onassis's statement, you may not like to do it, but we're going to get the job done. And so that's actually how I don't know if that was allowing me to break the rules early on in my life. But I learned, you know, to be a survivor.  We moved around the world, always, we usually moved in the middle of a semester. So we had to go in and create our time, you know, and persona into a community that already existed into a curriculum that we were behind on, and I learned to be a survivor. In the second grade in Okinawa, however, we had a Japanese art teacher. And at that time, many little girls aspired to be nurses, or teachers, or homemakers, none of which I was interested in. And that changed my life. It gave me a way to look at life through the lens of an artist. And so from that time on, I decided that that was what my path was going to be. So that's really what informed my early childhood,Rebecca Hoffman  7:57  And you have been changing the rules all the way through your career. Could you talk a little bit about some of the work you've done as we get ready to talk about your work through Art Verite? Yes, work that you did previously.Jane Jacobs  8:09  Yes,  I began my career in the art museum field. And where you and I met, I ended as the deputy director of the Terra Museum of American Art here in Chicago. And through that, I, when I did my master's degree, I did a case for registering works of art under the umbrella of the United Nations, by treaty by country. In the 1990s, the governmental information about World War II became a public document as it does after 50 years. And all of a sudden, there was this huge influx of stolen art in the subject of stolen art. And it interested me very, very much. And I conferred and partnered with an art attorney, which was my first relationship with an art attorney who served on the board of the Chicago, the Art Institute of Chicago. And it just got me to thinking about this problem of art and protecting it, and, you know, then the restitution, you know, that needed to take place. And so I began my career, you know, doing provenance research. And when I left the museum field and began my also parallel business to our Art Verite, Jacob Fine Art. We were consultants for people with art collections, institutions, these institutional collections, private collections, corporate collections, international collections. And people came to me and said, I have this but I'm not sure you know about where it came from.Rebecca Hoffman  9:48  So that's fascinating. And I think, as part of the run-up to this whole area of work and around fakes and forgeries, and art theft, you founded a symposium in New York. Could you tell us about what that was like?Jane Jacob  10:02  I did. I taught at New York University for over pretty much 12 years. And because this problem of criminal activity in the arts didn't seem to be going away, I mean, there's the famous quote of the FBI, perhaps 60% of the art in the marketplace is a fake or a forgery, pretty arresting. So I convinced my Dean that I would love to launch our crime conference, we launched it in London, and then brought it into New York City and had it for four years. And that was really the beginning of my quest to do something personally, about the problem with criminality in the artwork and protecting art for art history. And soRebecca Hoffman  10:50  That's spectacular. And how now with Art Verite, are you protecting art? What are some of the ways your filmmaking is doing that?Ray Loewe  11:01  You know, could Can I interrupt for a minute? Rebecca, I'm going interrupt whether you like it or not. Okay. But can we go back a little bit and talk about some of the problems that museums have with knowing whether art is real? And, what the cost is of finding out? Maybe something is not real? And because I think it sets the stage for where we're going with the solution, that Jane brings to the table? Sure. Sure.Jane Jacob  11:33  Well, museums are not in you know, they're not without risk. When they collect art, because they collect an enormous amount of art, it comes from all different places. And so there have been many instances where museums have really gotten caught, you know, unknowingly, perhaps, too, with works of art that were stolen, or, and even artworks that were forgeries. And so in that, their whole reason for existing is to protect our collections. So having a piece of stolen art is a problem. Having a work that is purported to be by a particular art, artists corrupts art history, that's a problem. And so every institution is faced with these problems, as are private collectors. And so with museums, their hunger and thirst to build collections for the general public, and sometimes going in a specific path. For example, if you have the Art Institute of Chicago, for example, has many Monet's, more Monet's than any other museum outside of Paris. And so if you're going in a particular direction, and your appetite is of a voracious one, to collect the best collections for the general public, you are eventually you're going to get caught. The criminality component in this world is they're very good. They're very good. And they actually are able to, to pull the wool over, you know, experts eyes. And it's very complicated Ray, what you're talking about, in order to find out about a piece of art, it is very costly, in that it takes a lot of hours. I think a lot of people just think it may be the Antiques Roadshow, it is or it isn't. And that is not at all reality it's research and arduous years sometimes to find out whether there's a clear title, or whether it is an authentic piece of artwork. And then there's even within the system of experts. There are differences of opinions. And so it's very costly. It's costly to art history, the knowledge that we have that goes from generation to generation to learn about an artist, it's costly for those that invest in it and lose the money. I think we've addressed the fact that the court system has basically said you should be doing your due diligence and put the onus on the buyer, where reality is, is that the onus should be on those that are expert in the field of arts, and they're the ones that are contributing. Savvy museums ask better questions now. It continues to grow, it's not going away. It's not being solved by legislation. It's not being solved by just a catalog resume, which is a compendium of an artist's works. Every artist doesn't have a catalog resume. And so that's a costly endeavor to document every single piece of known artwork around the world for a particular artist. So you can see that the cost of these things can be enormous and the currency is not always money, the currency really the bottom line. And this is how Art Veritae has gotten involved with this. It's about your reputation. That's what we are positioned to do. We are putting together films which address the resolve to these problems in many ways. It's not always a case that's happened. It's a case that could happen. And with that, we are positioning institutions, collectors, attorneys, even artists for certain in a way that it saves them time, because we bring together all the experts, it saves them money because they could not go all over the world and find these experts, they may not invest in something that red flags have gone up about. And it saves them first and foremost reputation.Ray Loewe  15:59  Yeah, that's got to be the worst part of it is taking the blame when you find out you spent several million dollars on something that isn't real.Jane Jacob  16:09  Yeah, it's horrific, you know, it is. But to make everybody feel better, you know, it happens to the best of us. You know, it happens to major institutions all over the world, it happens to the Auction House when they can sign a work of art to sell. It happens to galleries, whenever they go out and buy a work of art. It certainly happens through estates, when you inherit works that you thought, your grandfather had this, you know, multimillion-dollar piece of art. And it turns out to be nothing more than a copy. So yeah, it happens to everybody. It definitely does.Ray Loewe  16:46  Yeah, no, I think this sets a stage for where you're going to go here. And I'll let you go off in that tangent in a minute. But, the other thing that I realized in looking at some of the material that you sent me is that it's not all about these famous, famous artists, the Van Gogh's and the Rembrandt's and all of these things. That's a whole series of problems. But what about the younger, less known artists? the up and coming ones? And, don't we have a whole series of issues and problems there, too?Jane Jacob  17:16  That's a very good question. And the answer is succinctly, yes. Emerging artists or artists, you know, who were in the beginnings of their career, even sometimes in the mid-career, where they may not be represented by a major institution or any institution at all, have just as many problems. They're commissioned to do works. Their works are consigned with galleries. They are involved in things where people want them to do which something that may be outside their bailiwick because they have an idea. But basically, looking at the way that galleries today, for example, do handshake deals, that is very, very much a general operative with many galleries. That's the way they've always done business. It's the status quo that happens to affect ours in many, many ways. If the gallery is not unscrupulous I mean, they may be just as honest as they can be, and really have the best interests at heart. They can also enter into things like bankruptcy. And if the artist doesn't know, for example, to file a UCC form, which is a $50 form, to protect their work in the case of bankruptcy, their artwork consigned to that gallery can become part of the liability of that settlement. Obviously, through COVID, and you've mentioned that Ray, there have been many, many times where galleries have shuttered. The art is in a storage facility that the artists can't have access to it. Also, there have been we are in the middle of doing a film where an artist's work was lent to an HBO pilot. And the dealer that organized that did not pay the artist it was if the pilot went into seasons, he would be paid for the pilot as well as the seasons. So it wasn't so we had to file a lawsuit. Artists who good-naturedly give their designs to commercial entities that they're just feeling like I just want to show you what I can do have had their designs stolen and used and put into production. So yes, emerging artists can have a lot of problems.Rebecca Hoffman  19:43  So what are some of the ways that your films are going to help? And what parts of the world will they touch? Because watching your first film that I've had a chance to see. It's extremely watchable, even just as a person in the world you can learn a lot and it's just extremely interesting, but then there's obviously a higher level of watching that people who care will be doing. So how will your films contribute to what's known?  Jane Jacob  20:08  Well, what we do is we bring together the most recognized experts in the world. What we do is what we call a symbiotic relationship, storytelling method. And that's a long, lots of commas in that, but basically, we bring together artists, or art stories about an artist, so all of our artists are not alive, that have had something happen, there's been a problem. And it had to be addressed either on the front end through an attorney to protect them or on the back end, through litigation, also an attorney to protect them. And so we feel like by bringing together these stories, and using the experts that may be forensic scientists, which talk about materials, they may be a gallery, you know, directors or personnel, they may be curators, the museum, that we bring all the information together on a platform that is usually viewed within an hour or less to provide for the watchers. And we'll get to the audience in a second, Rebecca, but to provide the watchers and the viewers, a thought a thinking process of like, hey, this could happen to me. What was done in this case, what could I do differently? One of the films that we've done about an artist I believe you've watched it, Dan Peterman, who's an international artists Chicago based, had an instance where his work of art was shipped from castle Germany back into Chicago, and it was horribly damaged. Well, he didn't take pictures beforehand, he definitely didn't consider that that was going to happen. And so while he did receive insurance, it was a year and a half settlement. His work of art wasn't restored for that amount of time. And it was one of his iconic works. And the insurance people in that, in that film actually go through and tell artists, what to think about, what should you think about what kinds of forms should you have? Should you use transit insurance, which doesn't cover, you know, a pittance of what the value of work is, and it's more expensive. So very pragmatic information is given in each one of our films, because the artists that are involved, or the storytellers be they attorneys or the FBI agents. They're very willing to be transparent about what went on, in particular instances where art crime or not even crime, but accidents or unforeseen circumstances happen. So there's great insight as far as here's what can happen, here's how you should think about it. Here's what you can do to protect yourself. That's what our films do. Our audience includes art attorneys, you know, the art consultants such as wealth strategists, family practices, insurance companies, which are financial as well, museums, galleries, auction houses, and of course, artists. So I'd love to get to that conversation about why the artist is so integral, and I know we will. But basically, these films are not just for artists, these films are for the nucleus that surrounds the art community. And so that's really, you know, our intent is to bring everybody into this community address all the problems, and to ultimately establish relationship in positive ways between the community. If I love you, I'll protect you. If you love me, I'll protect you. And so, basically, you know, that's the idea of Art Veritae.Ray Loewe  24:14  Cool, you know, unfortunately, Jane, we're getting near the end of our time, time flies when you're having fun. And, you know, I, you presented an interesting history here, you know, if I'm going to take you back to the CIA because I just think that's neat. But, I think the whole crux of your career was building towards this value that you're bringing to the table now. And I think you're being commended as an artist, an art scholar, a patron of the arts, and you know, you're it all comes down so that we can go to a museum, we can view the spectacular things when we know they're real, and we know something about them. So thank you.Jane Jacob  24:54  My pleasure. My pleasure.  Ray Loewe  24:56  Do you have any final comments you'd like to make before we wind up?Jane Jacob  25:00  You know, I'd love to just take a second and talk about why art is so integral to life and how people might consider thinking about it in a bit of a paradigm shift. One is, I think, we've had a conversation, initially about artists really speak through their medium, just like musicians, just like authors. They use a medium to express what's going on inside them. In fact, I define art history as history through the lens of the art. Artists are often social realists. Many, many people we know go into museums and go, my three-year-old could have done that. Why is this in a museum, and I really believe that one, you should have the permission not to like something, nobody, you should never feel embarrassed about going into a museum and not resonating with a work of art. We don't resonate with all the people that we encounter. I mean, some people we want to be best friends, I love Rebecca. And there are plenty of people that I meet in her field that, you know, I really just don't want to be their friend, you know, nothing negative is just we just don't resonate. And that is the way art is, it is an expression. So I just want to give this final story about my friend who is German who took me through an exhibition in New York City of German expressionist art. And I, my first encounter and I have a long time history in the art world was I just, I would never want to live with this on my wall. I don't, not that why was it in the museum collection, but I don't really want to look at this stuff. It's too painful, you know. And she took me through with the history of the Weimar in Germany during a time of depression and economic downturn. And this particular piece I was looking at was a drawing of a man in a top hat standing outside of a beautiful bourgeois restaurant, everybody drinking their martinis and dressed to the guild. And he was urinating on a man on the sidewalk. And I was like, Oh, my gosh, you know, what is this about? And she went on to explain to me what was going on in the Weimar. And of course, it opened up a whole new world to me, and I've done research, and I still don't want it on my wall over my breakfast table every morning. But I really believe that if people take the time to get to know the artist behind the artwork, that the ability to enjoy the conversation, is so much greater. And that is my hope for the world Ray.Ray Loewe  27:40  Well, I don't think there's a better way, to sum up.

Nathan is joined by the lovely Thaao Penghlis to talk about his life from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE to DAYS OF OUR LIVES to selling a suit to Robert Redford and sharing tea with Jackie Onassis.

We finally tackle all-time classic Grey Gardens! Our guest is comedian Amber Preston.The Maysles Brothers were approached by Jackie Onassis to make a movie about the Bouvier family. During the filming, their camera gravitated to The crumbling Long island estate known as Grey Gardens occupied by eccentric relatives “big and little Edie”. It’s a hot mess of co-dependence, animal feces, American aristocracy in decline, and corn.Amber Preston has appeared on national commercials for Buffalo Wild Wings and Booking.com, at numerous festivals from Sketchfest to Gilda’s Laughfest (where she was named “Best of the Midwest”), and even on Marc Maron’s “Five Comedians to Watch” list for Vulture. Along with hosting Los Angeles shows The Cut and Punchline Punchout, she recently released her debut album Sparkly Parts on Stand Up! Records.Follow us on:Twitter: @supdocpodcastInstagram: @supdocpodcastFacebook: @supdocpodcastsign up for our mailing listAnd you can show your support to Sup Doc by donating on Patreon.

Christina Papavlasopoulos is my guest this week. Christina is the co-founder of the luxury boutique travel planning company, Shefari. I was excited to speak with Christina about her company beginnings and where they are headed. As the father of two daughters, I was happy to hear from other women looking to expand their circle and help empower women. Make sure to look at the bottom of this page for their upcoming woman empowerment trip, She Succeeds, to Greece this October.ABOUT CHRISTINAAdventure has been instilled in me since childhood. We moved often, and though good-byes were difficult, there was always excitement for the faces and places that lie ahead. My sense of adventure continued in college, where my interest in art history and fashion sent me on a study tour to Paris and London. I admired the intricate architecture, the chic Parisian style, and delighted in calling my parents from an infamous red telephone booth to wish them a Happy New Year. A week in France and England led to a semester in Italy, and then work in Greece – each its own glorious adventure. Besides travel I love musicals, bold colors, artichokes, and leather-bound books. I want to learn the cello and become fluent in five languages. I adore wit and creativity, and I’ve never met a latte I didn’t like. When I’m not planning your next Shefari, I can be found painting, drawing, and jogging (fine, walking) to throwback hip-hop. Though planes take me all over the world, my favorite destination is home to Florida, sharing wine and stories with my family.The Shefari “aha” moment came with an international phone call. My aunt announced that she was coming to Greece, explaining life was too short not to experience it to the fullest and see the places she wanted. She already had her sister, mother, and cousins on board. At her request, we planned the trip of a lifetime for seven of my favorite women, and our first Shefari was born.SHEFARIWe are a new generation of travel planners.

Ron Galella:For over 5 decades Ron Galella, the most infamous paparazzo in America, captured the world's movers and shakers using his iconic off-guard approach to photojournalism. Now he puts pen to paper, exposing his remarkable ascent into the world of glitz and glam. Dubbed "paparazzo extraordinaire" by Newsweek Magazine, Ron Galella was once punched in the jaw by Marlon Brando, roughed up by Richard Burton's bodyguards and sued by Jackie Onassis. His camera was focused on the best of them. The famous, the soon to be famous, the talented, the extraordinary. Actors, athletes, musicians, politicians, the rich and powerful, the beautiful and exotic - all those at the pinnacle of popular culture. His creative technique elevated the free-form freelance approach of fine art photography and demystified celebrities by catching them as they are. Ron was recently thrilled to learn that Grammy award winning, singer, actor and record producer, Lenny Kravitz was inspired by his unique off-guard style of photography. This month, while promoting his high end Dom Perignon champagne brand, Kravitz revealed to People Magazine and the Hollywood Reporter, "I was very much inspired by this book of Studio 54 photographs by Ron Galella who shot all those wonderful shots of the New York nightlife and so I wanted it to be natural lighting, inside, in the dark, with a flash. What I love about those shots is you had all of these very interesting people gathering from street culture - socialites, artists, actors, actresses, musicians - and he captured everything with his camera and flash." With "Shooting Stars" Ron sheds light on how his rollercoaster career brought him from the pre-war Bronx to working on the most important red carpets the world over. Included in this memoir is his early family life, his time spent in the Air Force and his photojournalistic career-molding moments at the ArtCenter School of Design. His comprehensive archive of photographic prints are sold in galleries on nearly every continent on earth, and his iconic editorial images can been seen in thousands of publications and websites worldwide.  http://rongalella.com Music List:1.

Hello October! It's Dolly's favourite month of the year. If she were reincarnated, says Pandora, it would be as a knee-high boot. This week we discuss MeToo's infighting - as Asia Argento unveils a new bloody dagger tattoo aimed at Rose McGowan; Pret's tragic error and the 14 allergens that all foodstuffs should be labelled with; and why the Nobel peace prize should be taken away from Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi despite the organisation's novel explanation as to why it hasn't. Masses of recommendations from us both, including Lily Allen's memoir, the film Tully, a beautiful piece on grief by Alice Edwards, and a series of accounts on what it was really like to work for Harvey Weinstein, in The Guardian magazine. Are NDAs protecting the wrong people? We couldn't *not* talk about Brett Kavanaugh - the Republican judge who looks set to enter the Supreme Court, the highest law-making body in the USA, despite the accusation of sexual assault lodged against him by Dr Christine Ford. Do men (and women) of a certain age - and political view - still subscribe to the belief “that if it isn't rape, it doesn't count”? And are we surprised that Trump is still endorsing Kavanaugh?Also this week, we discuss a brilliant piece by the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, Farrah Storr, for The Times Magazine - about why women can't (and maybe don't want) it all. Dolly and I talk about the ‘splintered woman' (domestic, professional, sexual) and get personal on the subconscious pressure to have it all; why we don't have it all; and why having different things, at different times, is actually even better.

Sobie brings on Drew to breakdown both of their top 10 movies of 2016 even though its February. They begin by talking about the movies that didn't quite make the cut which includes: Midnight Special, Everybody Wants Some!, Little Men, Kicks, Lion, and Don't Think Twice (3:25). They dive deep into both their lists starting with OJ: Made in America (10:00) and talk about their love for The Lobster (16:25). They continue by talking about selling magazine subscriptions in American Honey (19:30) and continue their lovefest for Tilda Swinton in A Bigger Splash (25:00). They call out Kubo & the Two Strings for telegraphing their script (28:15) and Sobie found a love for some foreign films in Elle (33:00) and La Tortue Rouge (44:25). They salivate over Natalie Portman as Jackie Onassis in Jackie (37:30) and preach the good word about Hell or High Water (49:05). They breakdown the ridiculous backlash for La La Land (54:30) and Drew gushes about 13th (1:03:30) and its importance in today's world. The crew discusses Forest Whitaker and his many accents with Arrival (1:09:15) and want the world to appreciate the amazing Greta Gerwig in 20th Century Women (1:14:35). They close by talking about both their number one movie in 2016, Moonlight (1:21:20). Theme Music: 'Stranger Things Meet Metal' by Erock. Check him out at ThisisErock.com

As basic as the need for warmth and being covered is, fashion has taken a basic need to a completely different level at times. You could pick up any yearbook from the 1980s as proof of that. But sometimes the most simple articles of clothing create the biggest impact. Look at what James Dean accomplished with just a white T-shirt or the everlasting impact of Jackie Onassis' large sunglasses, or even being able to look at the backside of Bruce Springsteen in his iconic jeans and know exactly who it is. In this episode, we're sticking with the basics and, as I'm from New England, you can't get much more basic than a sweatshirt this time of year. The warm and casual look has been tried and true and, even though what prompted this episode was a seeing a cropped version of this fashion that I still don't quite understand.

“There still exists little organized sense of what a woman's biography or autobiography should look like,” Carolyn G. Heilbrun wrote in her 1988 classic, Writing A Woman's Life, noting, “Even less has been told of the life of the unmarried woman.” One can only hope that Kate Bolick‘s Spinster is a sign that, nearly thirty years later, the circumstances Heilbrun described are, at long last, about to change. Bolick burst onto the national scene when her article in The Atlantic, entitled “All the Single Ladies,” went viral in November 2011. But Spinster is a departure from her reportage rather than a continuation or a sequel– a biographical/autobiographical/sociological mash-up that is engaging, observant, and fiercely critical. Examining the socio-historical phenomenon of the feme sole, Bolick mines her own experiences and the lives she's read about to examine how, as Heilbrun suggested, we use the stories of other lives to navigate our own. “Taken together,” Bolick writes of the people whose lives interested her, “they were a dynasty of adopted uncles and aunts adults who weren't my parents who opened portals to lives I couldn't have imagined until they showed me how.” This is a process of which we are often unconscious as it's happening, but which becomes visible in hindsight. It is also, I believe, one of the great values of reading biography: the ability of these stories of other people's lives to open possibilities within our own. It's a dynamic not limited to stories of the lives of women, but it does appear to hold particular resonance for female readers, perhaps due to the relative cultural scarcity of representations of unconventional female lives. In her quest to become a writer, Bolick notes, “Maeve Brennan served a psychological purpose for me. By climbing into her point of view and trying it on for size I was cobbling together a template for my own future.” Spinster provides compelling evidence of both the personal and collective power of stories and our use of them. It also reveals something of the life of the unmarried woman, elegantly illuminating an experience that has, up to now, been culturally undervalued and, often, biographically ignored. Oline Eaton is a doctoral researcher at King's College London. She is writing a biography of Jackie Onassis and has written extensively on the subjects of biography, celebrity, and gossip, and the flow of stories through culture.

Bröderna Maysles dokumentär Grey gardens från 1975 blev sent omsider en riktig kultfilm som blev musikal på Broadway, spelfilm och teveserie. Katarina Wikars om den risigaste kåken i hela fashionabla East Hampton på Long Island utanför New York där Big Edie och Little Edie tillsammans med tvättbjörnarna på vinden och ett tjog katter genomlever sina dagar och minns bättre tider. Det stundar utmätning och sanering. Då är det bra att vara nära släkt med Jackie Onassis, som skickar några som kommer och röjer upp. Och en annan dag kommer två dokumentärfilmsbröder dit, bröderna Maysles. De har gjort dokumentärfilmer förut, de verkar i genren Direct Cinema, vilket betyder inga berättarröster eller raka intervjuer eller förklaringar. Så de är liksom bara där, i Grey gardens, i sex veckor. Och hundratals filmade timmar blir en och en halv timme film som kommer att gå till historien om än långsamt.

Rose Hartman, whose work has been published in Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and Vanity Fair, has been granted the kind of celebrity access in her 35+year career that most photographers can only dream to have. The "social historian" shot Jerry Hall and Diana Vreeland in the seventies, Jackie Onassis in the eighties, and Anna Wintour (smiling!) at Christie's in the nineties, to name a few of her widely circulated images. In 2012, a solo exhibit of photos from her book, INCOMPARABLE WOMEN of STYLE, opened at the Fashion Institute of Technology.  Her latest book, INCOMPARABLE COUPLES,(ACC Editions) features more than 150 photographs, including the famous shot of Bianca Jagger kissing Mick Jagger at Studio 54 for her birthday party in 1977.  Her photos have been exhibited at the Whitney Museum, the Museum of the City of NY, Experience Music Project, Staley-Wise Gallery, the Library of Performing Arts, the Dia Foundation, Serge Sorokko Gallery, the Dean Project, Pucci Gallery, the Ravestijn Gallery in Amsterdam (selected list).  Website: http://rosehartman.com 

Sydney crew One Day (aka Horrorshow, Spit Syndicate, Jackie Onassis and Joyride) thrown down a live version of their track 'Love Me Less' before covering Scribe's classic 'Not Many' for Like A Version.

From August 12th, 2014. This interview was fascinating to do, as it took place with someone that was across the world! Kai Tan, the lead vocalist of the Australian rap group Jackie Onassis, joined Chris's show that he did with his friend Nikki Iannace and they recorded it at 5 am! After getting a radio sample sent to WNHU and checking out some new music, Chris learned of the group. He liked what he heard but had to talk to them after hearing their breakout single, "Crystal Balling." This would be the first interview Chris had on his show, C N' N. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Nearly twenty years after the death of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, biographers are not only continuing to tell her story but finding provocative new ways to do so. In particular, a big bravo to William Kuhn for considering the former First Lady in a context that (a) has nothing to with her husbands, and (b) brings fresh perspective. Jackie's post-“Camelot” years–namely, her marriage to Onassis and her publishing career–are often given short shrift, but Reading Jackie: Her Autobiography in Books (Anchor Books, 2011) steps in to fill the later gap and it's downright revelatory. What we read reveals much about who we are. That's the idea behind Reading Jackie and it seems simple enough. But, in viewing Jackie Onassis's life through the lens of the books she edited, Kuhn produces something quite sophisticated- a nuanced portrait of a thwarted artist for whom reading was a vital means of participating in the art world. As Kuhn writes: “That sense early on of what she could not do was at the nub of Jackie's self-image as a reader. Coupled with the sense of limitation was a determination to work around it, to participate in the creative and artistic activity that gripped her imagination.” It's a daring approach and more than a little meta –to write a biography examining a series of books with the claim that they comprise the biographical subject's autobiography– but Kuhn more than pulls it off. He clearly delights in both his subject and her work, and one leaves Reading Jackie not only with an appreciation of Jackie Onassis's books, but also a renewed appreciation of her- this woman “who helped put enduring statements of why art matters into print.” Learn more about your ad choices.

The multi-talented Andre De Shields describes the development of his new one-man show, "Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory: From Douglass to Deliverance", and why it may be a work-in-progress for several years to come. He also talks about growing up in a family of 11 children in Baltimore and why he was unexpectedly the one to make a career in entertainment; his undergraduate years at the University of Wisconsin, including an infamous production he described as "the nude Peter Pan," directed by Stuart Gordon (who would later create the Organic Theatre in Chicago and direct the film "Re-Animator"); why he had to sleep in a public park in order to secure his first professional role in a show he'd never seen -- "Hair"; why he can lay claim to being the man who made Bette Midler's back-up singers, The Harlettes, dance; how the process of elimination ended up yielding him the title role in "The Wiz"; why it was Jackie Onassis who revealed to him and his castmates in "Ain't Misbehavin'" that they were in a hit; whether he'd tackle the multiple roles of director, choreographer, bookwriter, songwriter and star of "Harlem Nocturne" if he had to do it all over again; his thoughts on African-American actors taking on traditionally Caucasian roles, having had the opportunity to play Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman" and "Our Town"'s Stage Manager; why he feels that the musical "Play On!" was misunderstood; and the incredible liberation of his big number in "The Full Monty".

The longtime New Yorker writer--who once spent an evening with Jackie Onassis, smoking cigarettes and talking about men--culls from 20 years of probing and delightful cultural critiques of fashion, its personages, trends and history, to celebrate the lasting significance of its ephemeral qualities.
