Lee Radziwill (1933-2019) was an American socialite, public relations executive, and interior designer. She was the younger sister of former First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Lee and her sister had a complicated relationship that often relegated Lee to the shadows.

These women fought against systems, governments and – sometimes each other to break barriers in their respective fields. They did unthinkable and sometimes unspeakable things to carve out their place in history. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

Most people probably know Carole Radziwill from her time on The Real Housewives of New York City and while, don't get me wrong, I loved her on the show—that's nowhere near the most interesting part of her story. Carole is an extraordinarily talented journalist and had an esteemed career in the field, even working as a war correspondent at one point. She worked as a journalist and a producer for nearly two decades at ABC News, during which time she earned three Emmys. Carole married her fellow ABC News producer, Prince Anthony Radziwill—son of socialite Lee Radziwill and nephew of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis—on August 27, 1994; he died of cancer on August 10, 1999. Anthony's best friend was his cousin, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Carole's best friend was his wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. In the summer of 1999—which Carole refers to as “the summer of tragedy”—Carole knew the end of her husband's life was near. What she didn't know, of course, was that on July 16, 1999, John and Carolyn, along with Carolyn's sister, Lauren, would die in a plane crash. Carole lost the three people closest to her in less than a month of one another, all of them 40 years old and younger—Anthony had just turned 40 six days before his death. Of her life with Anthony, Carole writes in her brilliant memoir What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love, which came out in 2005, that “We are young and happy and have all the time in the world,” except, tragically, they don't. The book tells priceless anecdotes, like how hilarious Carolyn was—she left Carole a note about her Gap sneakers saying that if she didn't get rid of them, their relationship couldn't continue in a growth-oriented way. Carolyn was selfless. She was compassionate. Interesting. She was a wonderful, caring, kind friend. One of my favorite anecdotes from the book was when she declined signing an autograph for someone, saying “You don't want mine. You want Carole's. She has three Emmys.” Carolyn had this ability to make someone feel like the only person in the room—the most important person in the room. Carole writes in What Remains “She made me believe I was captivating.” The entire world knows who Carolyn is; very few got to call her a best friend. In this book, we get to learn what it was like to be Carolyn's best friend. So many of our conversations in this series have been about John—and rightfully so, as he was and, quite frankly, still is captivating. But this episode is basically all about Carolyn. Carole writes that both she and Carolyn were not the women that people expected Anthony and John to end up with. John, by the way, was already, devastatingly, writing the eulogy of his cousin and best friend Anthony before John himself died. Who would have ever thought John, and Carolyn, for that matter, would be lost before Anthony? On that awful night of July 16, as the 16th turned into the 17th, Carole was one of the first to learn that John, Carolyn, and Lauren's plane was missing. She describes learning they were missing and the time between that and learning that they had crashed “the terrifying quiet.” She must have felt like time was suspended in space. The lack of answers. The ambiguity. The hope. The fear. All of it. After Anthony died, she left ABC News to write what became What Remains, which, let me tell you—the topic is fascinating on its own, but the writing? The writing is unmatched. It, not surprisingly, became a New York Times bestseller upon its release, and we're talking all about it today. What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love by Carole Radziwill

La deuxième saison de l'anthologie Feud de Ryan Murphy est enfin arrivée sept ans après la première saison, et elle ne déçoit pas. Sous-titrée Les trahisons de Truman Capote, cette nouvelle saison offre une plongée captivante dans le monde tumultueux de l'auteur Truman Capote, mettant en lumière sa relation complexe avec les femmes de la haute société new-yorkaise dans les années 1960 et 1970. L'histoire se déroule dans le sillage de Truman Capote, l'auteur célèbre pour son chef-d'œuvre "De Sang-Froid", qui devient le centre d'un scandale retentissant après la publication d'un extrait de son roman inachevé "Answered Prayers". Cet extrait révèle les secrets les plus sombres de ses amies de la haute société new-yorkaise, surnommées "les Swans" pour leur beauté et leur élégance intemporelles. La saison est diffusée en US+24 sur Canal+ dès ce 2 février. Pour rappel, Murphy est le créateur de la série mais ne participe ni à la réalisation ni à l'écriture de cette saison. https://youtu.be/YabKNs66eeg?si=nc8jcPeE2sdXzaXk Si on doit donner une unique raison de regarder la nouvelle saison, c'est évidemment son casting étoilé, mené par un duo d'acteurs exceptionnels : Tom Hollander dans le rôle de Truman Capote et Naomi Watts dans le rôle de Babe Paley. Ils parviennent à capturer avec finesse les nuances de leur relation, allant de l'amitié et de la complicité à la trahison et à la douleur. Le récit explore les tensions croissantes entre Capote et les Swans alors qu'ils naviguent dans les eaux troubles de la trahison, de la jalousie et du ressentiment, la guerre est déclaré entre l'auteur et ces socialites. Les actrices Diane Lane, Calista Flockhart et Chloë Sevigny incarnent respectivement Slim Keith, Lee Radziwill et C.Z. Guest, les autres Swans de l'entourage de Babe, et apportent chacune leur propre dynamique et complexité à l'ensemble de l'intrigue. La série alterne entre les flashbacks des années fastes de Capote, où il est acclamé pour son succès littéraire et son charisme éblouissant, et les moments sombres de sa descente aux enfers alors qu'il lutte contre ses démons intérieurs et les conséquences de ses actions impétueuses. Ensuite, l'écriture de Jon Robin Baitz est à la fois tranchante et poignante. Les dialogues sont vifs et percutants, et les rebondissements de l'intrigue vous garderont en haleine jusqu'à la fin. Attendez-vous à être surpris et ému par les dilemmes moraux auxquels sont confrontés les personnages, ainsi que par les thèmes universels de l'amour, de l'amitié et de la trahison explorés tout au long de la série. Certains épisodes sont réalisés par Gus Van Sant, les décors somptueux et les costumes élégants capturent parfaitement l'atmosphère glamour de l'époque. [bs_show url="feud"] Feud : les trahisons de Truman Capote commence le 2 février sur Canal+.

Esperanza and Irwin were surprised to learn Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis' formative years were spent on eastern Long Island. Born in 1929 at Southampton Hospital, the center of the Bouvier family life was at "Lasata", (meaning place of peace) the Further Lane estate adjacent to the Maidstone Club, where the family also had a cabana. When the Bouvier's first arrived in East Hampton in 1912, the place was far simpler than neighboring Southampton, a landscape primarily dominated by farm fields and simple salt boxes. Fast forwarding to 1953, Jackie married Jack Kennedy, and you know the story line over the next 10 plus years. Returning the story to East Hampton, we tie in the story of Grey Gardens, of Big Edie and Little Edie. Jackie and her sister Lee Radziwill literally rescued their Aunt and Cousin from the squalor they were living in, the subject of the cult classic "Grey Gardens" by the Maysles brothers.

Jonathan Joseph and Rachel Elspeth Gross interview Henry Wilkinson to discuss the process of restoring a 1960's Givenchy dress that was worn by Lee Radziwill and Jackie O. Henry is a fashion historian who specializes in Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn. He's got this habit of finding, acquiring and then bringing back to life pieces from the house but of stories which might rival the women who wore them. Henry distinctly remembers as a child, being gifted physical copies of the classic films My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany's. For Henry, his early love of fashion is permanently entwined with Hepburn and Givenchy, although he will admit to a certain amount of Cecil Beaton 's influence. Two weeks into lockdown in the United Kingdom, Henry found to borrow his words, a tangible link to the Past, not many of us could see a listing for an early 1960s, Givenchy bodice plus maybe five inches of skirt and see something special but Henry did. Now he's completed the process of restoring what has turned out to be a significant one of a kind piece from more than 60 years ago. If that's not enough to impress you. After a ton of research, it turns out that the dress had originally been owned and worn by Lee Radziwill & Jackie O. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Hadley and Alyssa uncover the fascinating history of Grey Gardens, the grand East Hampton estate of Big Edie and Little Edie Beale—eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill—that was made famous in a 1975 documentary by Albert and David Maysles. After spotlighting the iconic women and their home, the co-hosts unpack its gradual downfall: Over time, the property fell into disrepair and was overrun by cats and raccoons (and perhaps something else not of this realm?). Little Edie held onto the property until two years after her mother died in 1977. Big Edie's spirit is said to watch over the house. Among the believers is author and Washington Post journalist Sally Quinn, who purchased the home from Little Edie in 1979 and swears it's haunted.

Don Gunvalson and Lee Radziwill step Behind The Rope. Ok, it is Jordan and Justin Meyers, the famous, or as some say infamous, Brothers behind these two well known Twitter Monikers. First off, we discuss how these Brothers decided to become Twitter sensations in the Housewives world. We say sensations, but some say Blocked By. In fact, as of air date, Don Gunvalson and Lee Radziwill are blocked by several Housewives including, but not limited to, Kyle Richards, Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Kelly Dodd. Not a bad record. Of course, we also discuss what Vicki Gunvalson and Carole Radziwill had to say when they contacted the boys. We can only imagine. These two boys are here here to bring the shade. We discuss every franchise: RHOBH (Who really lives in Beverly Hills and who doesn’t, we told you these boys are shady); RHONY (Cast shake ups, anyone); RHOP (This epic Season 5 and the Monique / Candiace physical altercation); RHOA (Give Marlo a Peach and Nene’s ongoing contract issues); RHONJ (David’s IRL Friends); RHOC (How does one get blocked by more than half the current cast); RHOD (How will the franchise be without LeeAnne Locken?); RHOSL (Coming Soon). Their tweets actually caused a major feud at a RHONY reunion past between Carole Radziwill and Luann de Lesseps. Then there was the time that the Lee Radziwill Twitter account was mentioned on Odd Mom Out by Abby Elliot’s Character. Also, have you seen their twitter this past week when PK, yes our friend PK, came for them for making a comment about our beloved Dorit NOT knowing this was not the real Don Gunvalson & Lee Radziwill. We just cannot!!! These are THE Twitter Accounts that have all the Housewives’ attention, and for good reason!

Andre´Leon Talley joins a Zoom call to talk about his new book The Chiffon Trenches. It is especially relevant as racismplayed a prominent role in his journey to become one of the most revered voices in the fashion world. He talks about Dave Chappelle recent special and how he was able to find inspiration for fashion as a young black man living in the segregated south. The Chiffon Trenches is a memoir of how André Leon Talley not only survived the brutal style landscape but thrived—despite racism, illicit rumors, and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry—to become one of the most renowned voices and faces in fashion. Woven throughout the book are also André’s own personal struggles that have impacted him over the decades, along with intimate stories of those he has turned to for inspiration (Diana Vreeland, Diane von Fürstenberg, Lee Radziwill, to name a few), and of course his Southern roots and ongoing faith, which have guided him since childhood.

In this episode, Neil, Natalia, and Niki discuss the life and legacy of Karl Lagerfeld, controversies over the Pledge of Allegiance, and the death of Lee Radziwill. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show: Karl Lagerfeld, one of the most prolific designers of our era, has died. Natalia referred to this article on the rise of the “heritage brand.” After an 11-year-old Florida student refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance, he was arrested. Natalia referred to historian Christopher Petrella’s Washington Post piece on the nativist sentiment that inspired the Pledge. Neil recommended historian Kevin Kruse’s book One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America on how “under God” was added to the Pledge during the Cold War. Socialite and style icon Lee Radziwill has died. Neil recommended Vanessa Friedman’s New York Times article on her legacy as an “influencer,” and Natalia suggested this piece at The Cut about “the Cinderella trap.” Natalia and Neil recommend Grey Gardens, the 1975 documentary and Broadway show. In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia shared her Well+Good article, “Yoga Pants Made Lululemon Founder a Billionaire – Why Isn’t He More Grateful to the Women Who Wear Them?” Neil discussed Jasmine Sanders’ New York Times article, “A Black Legacy, Wrapped Up in Fur.” Niki recommended Geraldo Cadava’s Washington Post article, “How the Border Wall Divided the GOP.”
Don't let the title worry you, this is not a political episode. We just had to mention our shoutout on the 538 Politics Podcast (Nate Silver, Who, thinks our podcast seems "fun") and the iconic dot Sara Huckabee Sanders left on her Notes App announcement that her boss was about to declare a national emergency. Nightmare!!! But enough about them. We also take calls about Lee Radziwill, Zedd fans, Lizzo, the truth about Body Vibes, and what the HELL is going on with Wendy Williams. There's also a long rant about Pauly Shore, and I don't even remember why!!! One more thing: Richard Kind is NOT a Them. Come on.

Khloe Kardashian split with Tristan Thompson this week after allegedly finding out he cheated on her with Kylie Jenner’s best friend (2:10). Lee Radziwill, sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, passed away last week, and The New York Times gave her a very rude obituary (17:07). We introduce a new segment called Meg Minute (28:30) and host another round of Celebrity Real Estate Corner (39:26)! Hosts: Juliet Litman and Amanda Dobbins Read The New York Times obituary of Lee Radziwill here. Watch the Architectural Digest tour of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard's home here.
Why the now-iconic, now-viral Meghan Trainor press release that's going around the web might be even more familiar than you think, why Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Skarsgard let Architectural Digest into their Brooklyn home to see all 14,000 of their fireplaces, why Miranda Lambert revealed she married a hot cop only days after she dumped salad on someone in Nashville (and why did Busy Phillips have the inside scoop on it all), why Brody Jenner was lucky to be alive after a hoverboard accident, why Blac Chyna and Soulja Boy are a match made in heaven, why Avril Lavigne's new'ish boyfriend is a billionaire('s son) and why the New York Times decided to drag Lee Radziwill in her very own obituary. All those questions answered, and more! Plus Rita! Damn, what a steal. Don't forget to call in with your own questions and/or comments at (619)-who-them. Come see us on tour! And for bonus Who?

Giambattista Valli is an extremely talented Italian designer, who was born in Rome and has now built up his own empire. A fashion empire, dedicated to creating romantic, feminine and beautiful clothing for women who want to look and feel special. Valli has done something that very few modern designers have been able to accomplish. He spent years honing his craft alongside great designers like Roberto Capucci and Emanuel Ungaro, before making the bold choice in 2005 (when most of his peers were becoming designers for big name fashion houses) to launch his own signature label. In fact, he reportedly famously passed on taking over at Valentino to start his own company. Which, as anyone in fashion will tell you, was a pretty ballsy move. Since then he has slowly and meticulously grown his brand. Supported by devoted gaggle of beautiful fashion plates, that have been affectionately called Valli Girl; that include Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, Charlotte Dellal, Lee Radziwill, Queen Rania of Jordan, Diane Kruger and Giovanna Englbert. He even had the backbone to take on the rarified air of haute couture, launching his line in 2011. He now counts more than 250 points of sales around the world in over 40 countries across the globe. Oh, and did I mention, beside building his own brand, Valli was behind the Moncler Gamme Rouge womenswear line, designing it for a decade. So the man knows how to multitask. He is also fiercely independent and, until this past year, rebuffed any offers from groups to bring the Valli brand into a luxury fold. But last year Valli teamed up with François Pinault and signed an agreement with Artémis, the French holding company of the Pinault family, which acquired a minority stake in the house. This means that the Valli brand is currently in the throes of some major expansion, as the designer plots out the future of his namesake label. One other thing you need to know about Valli, he loves beauty. He surrounds himself with it, hunts it out wherever he goes and uses it as a benchmark for everything he does. So it shouldn’t be surprising that instead of doing our interview in a sterile office setting he invited me to tea at his hotel, where - sitting by a pool and overlooking a glorious vista - we talked about his past, present the exciting future he sees for his house.
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.
