Who are the Kennedys, really? And what has made the legacy of America's political dynasty so famous, divisive and enduring? The Kennedys are often described as the closest thing the United States has to a royal family, with fiercely competitive and divisive figures taking up space in American political and public life for generations.Even now, the influence of the Kennedy family continues to persist with RFK Junior, who is serving as the U.S. secretary of health and human services.There have been Kennedys who thrived with fame and power, and those who struggled greatly with that burden, with tragic consequences.The sunniest images of this famous family come from when they gathered at their rambling seaside compound in Cape Cod in the summers.One particular summer, in 1944, changed everything for the Kennedy clan, according to historian Leigh Straw, who is an internationally recognised expert on the Kennedy family and their legacy.It was the final year of World War Two—Jack, the future president, had become a war hero but his health was ailing; his brothers Bobby and Teddy were there, but their eldest brother Joe Junior was in England, preparing to embark on his final wartime mission. Their sister Rosemary was out of the picture altogether, hidden away from public and never spoken of.This was the year, Leigh says, when personal tragedies and public heroics began to shape the Kennedy legacy.The Kennedys at Cape Cod, 1944: The Summer That Changed Everything is published by Bloomsbury.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggiei Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores American politics, the United States, family dynasties, Trump, federal elections, JFK, John F Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr, Covid, Rosemary Kennedy, Robert F.

On this month's Club Random Classics, Bill Maher revisits one of his most electric sit-downs with comedian Kathy Griffin. The two dig into why Kathy turns everything into a fight, her explosive war with MAGA nation, and what actually happens when the internet decides to cancel you. Kathy breaks down the real story behind that infamous Trump photo, the fallout it caused, and the long list of people who sued her over it. She and Bill also geek out on Joe Rogan's brilliance, revisit the upsetting Kennedy scene from the Marilyn Monroe biopic, and Bill pitches Kathy an entire TV show idea on the spot.

Bienvenue dans les mercredis de l'été, le rendez-vous hebdomadaire pour vous faire (re)découvrir un épisode.Cet été, j'ai eu envie de mettre en lumière une approche, un parcours, un métier encore plus singulier que les autres. Voici Laurent Cotta, conservateur en charge du département des arts graphiques du Palais Galliera, Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.Lieu emblématique pour tous les connaisseurs, mais loin d'être élitiste puisqu'il appartient à la ville et a donc une mission de service public. Mais ce n'est pas au Palais Galliera que j'ai rencontré Laurent Cotta ! Il m'a accueillie dans un lieu exceptionnel — les réserves et ateliers de restauration et de conservation du musée, quelque part dans Paris.Installés dans l'une des réserves, en sous-sol, nous avons parlé des devoirs et fonctions d'un conservateur de musée, du statut inaliénable des œuvres, de la construction d'une exposition ; mais aussi de vanités, de trésors, de paradoxes, d'ego, et même de la robe de Marilyn Monroe portée par Kim Kardashian au Met Gala.Hébergé par Ausha.

This week on The Run-Through, Chloe Malle and the team are celebrating the launch of Dogue, Vogue's annual ode to the canines we love most. This year, that meant staging the magazine's first-ever dog wedding. On August 2nd, at the Surrey Hotel on the Upper East Side, two Vogue staff dogs, Edie Berlinger Douglas and Tux Murillo, said "I do" in a custom Rachel Antonoff gown and Susan Alexandra jewels. The wedding kicks off a bigger Dogue rollout, including a cover contest winner (an Italian greyhound named Sir Spud), a staff dog shoot inside the Condé Nast studios, and new collaborations with Alex Mill, J.Crew, and ceramicist Henry Holland. The episode's second half is a trip into old Hollywood, as Nicole Phelps sits down with Mauricio and Roger Padilha to discuss their new book, Jean Louis: Hollywood's Bombshell Designer. As research, the brothers watched all 188 films that the couture-trained costume designer worked on. Jean Louis's two most famous creations, Rita Hayworth's strapless black satin Gilda dress and Marilyn Monroe's sheer, crystal-strewn "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" gown, became touchstones far beyond their films. Some of that reporting came courtesy of Kim Novak, who wrote the book's foreword . She gave a rare window into Jean Louis's process, including an anecdote about walking in on Marlene Dietrich mid-fitting for a soufflé-silk gown so sheer it required roughly 50 to 60 layers of fabric to stay decent. That same appetite for spectacle carried through to Monroe's final dress. Listen to the full episode of The Run-Through for both stories. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Welcome to our second episode of our Marilyn Monroe Month! Norma Jeane is gone... Marilyn Monroe is about to be born. This week, we follow Marilyn's extraordinary transformation from a lonely aircraft factory worker into one of the most photographed women in America. After being discovered on a wartime assembly line, she throws herself into modeling, bleaches her hair, signs with the Blue Book Modeling Agency, and quickly realizes that beauty alone isn't enough. Hollywood is a game, and she's determined to learn how to play it. We dive into the complicated, often exploitative relationships that shaped her early career, from powerful studio executives and photographers to the acting coaches and mentors who recognized her undeniable star power. Along the way, Marilyn navigates ambition, reinvents herself from Norma Jeane Dougherty into Marilyn Monroe, lands her first studio contracts, and begins chasing the movie career she believes she's destined for. We end with the now-infamous nude calendar photos, a $50 modeling job she never imagined would follow her forever. The images that could have destroyed her career instead became one of the most pivotal turning points in Hollywood history.

C'est une histoire digne de Roméo et Juliette. L'actrice Marilyn Monroe et le président des Etats-Unis John Fitzgerald Kennedy, deux icônes américaines, auraient eu une liaison dans les années 1960. Mais cette relation a-t-elle jamais existé ? Tout diffère, selon les dires, les films, les documentaires… Entre le mythe idéalisé et la réalité, il faut trancher. Mais le peut-on vraiment ? Dans cette nouvelle saison de A la folie, pas du tout, découvrez l'histoire d'une idylle au destin tragique qui a défrayé les médias et enflammé les paparazzis. Des appels désespérés à la Maison Blanche Entre 1957 et 1962, Eunice Murray, la gouvernante de l'actrice, entend la sonnerie stridente du téléphone fendre le silence assourdissant de la maison presque quotidiennement. Des relevés de téléphones entre le manoir de Brentwood et la Maison Blanche le prouvent. D'un côté du fil, Marilyn pose des questions, donne son avis. Elle enroule ses doigts autour du fil de son combiné vert amande et, d'un ton exalté, réagit aux propos des deux frères. Malgré son image de séductrice, Marilyn Monroe vaut bien plus qu'on ne le croit à ce moment-là. Politiquement engagée, elle noue un lien particulier avec les Kennedy. Une passion qui pourrait lui coûter la vie... Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Anaïs Koopman Voix : François Marion, Lucrèce Sassella Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Thomas Noguchi was the chief medical examiner for LA County from 1967 to 1982. He oversaw the autopsies of some of Hollywood's most famous celebrity deaths, including Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, Natalie Wood, and John Belushi. Coroner to the Stars is a documentary showing parts of his amazing, and at times controversial, tenure as LA's coroner. We are speaking with the directors of the film, Ben Hethcoat and Keita Ideno. You can watch Coroner to the Stars on demand, for rent or purchase on YouTube, Amazon, etc. It is a fascinating look at one of the more interesting high-profile Asian American figures from that era; I highly recommend seeing it!

From Dairy Queen counter girl to Playboy pinup to murder victim – in just two years. Hugh Hefner called her the next Marilyn Monroe. A major Hollywood director wrote a role in his new film just for her, confident that she would make the leap from centerfold to starlet. But all of that was cut short on August 14, 1980, when a private investigator stumbled upon a brutal murder scene that shook the entertainment industry to its core.

WELCOME TO MARILYN MONTH! All month long, we're doing deep dives into Marilyn Monroe's life because she deserves so much more than just one episode. To kick things off, we're taking it all the way back to the beginning: Norma Jeane's childhood. In this episode, we cover everything from her toddler years through high school, ending on quite the cliffhanger for next week's episode. We dive into the foster parents who raised her, the women who abandoned her, protected her, and shaped her, and how those early relationships influenced the woman she would become. We also talk about the changes she began experiencing around eighth grade, her first crush, and the moments that marked the beginning of her transformation into Marilyn Monroe.

¿Qué ocurrió realmente durante las últimas horas de vida de Marilyn Monroe? El 4 de agosto de 1962, Marilyn Monroe murió en su casa de Los Angeles. Tenía apenas 36 años. El informe oficial estableció que la actriz murió por una sobredosis de barbitúricos y consideró probable el suicidio. Sin embargo, las circunstancias de su muerte alimentaron durante décadas dudas y teorías sobre lo ocurrido aquella noche.En este episodio de El Contador de Películas, Daniel Villalobos reconstruye, a través de la bibliografía, las últimas horas de Marilyn Monroe: su conversación telefónica con Peter Lawford, los llamados que siguieron, la llegada del psiquiatra Ralph Greenson, el testimonio contradictorio de su ama de llaves, la investigación policial y las circunstancias que rodearon el traslado del cuerpo.Conoce además las principales hipótesis y las diferencias entre la interpretación del biógrafo Donald Spoto y las conclusiones del forense Thomas Noguchi, quien realizó la autopsia de la actriz.

Antes de convertirse en leyendas de Hollywood, algunos de los actores más famosos del cine tuvieron que sobrevivir a la pobreza, trabajos inesperados y decisiones que pudieron terminar con sus carreras. En este episodio de Trollywood hablamos de Sylvester Stallone y la increíble apuesta que hizo para protagonizar Rocky; Harrison Ford y cómo trabajar como carpintero terminó acercándolo a Han Solo; Ken Jeong dejando atrás una carrera como médico para dedicarse a la comedia; Jim Carrey sobreviviendo a una infancia marcada por la pobreza; Steve Buscemi trabajando como bombero antes de triunfar como actor; y Marilyn Monroe, cuya llegada a Hollywood estuvo marcada por sacrificios personales mucho más grandes de lo que su imagen de estrella dejaba ver.Este episodio también es muy especial para nosotros: después de cuatro años grabando Trollywood desde Nuup Estudio, hoy nos toca despedirnos de este espacio que fue nuestra casa durante una etapa enorme del podcast. Nos vamos con muchísimo cariño, agradecimiento y recuerdos de todo lo que vivimos aquí. ❤️ ¿Cuál de estas historias de superación en Hollywood te sorprendió más?

August marks the 64th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death. Here we are, this many decades later, and the star is still considered one of the most popular icons in all of Hollywood history. Today's guest Nina Boski deeply explores the circumstances around the mystery of Marilyn's passing. By utilizing medical reports, and speaking with physicians and other experts, she's pieced together a fathomable understanding that addresses Marilyn's mental illness including anxiety and possibly bi-polar disorder. She also explains how Marilyn, a complex and deeply fragmented person, constantly under pressure, became a prisoner to the image of her character. Nina explores further in her podcast "Behind the Icon." Info: behindtheicon.com.
In this week’s Wrap Party, Zeth is talking about the conspiracy theories that continue to surround Marilyn Monroe’s death – including a wild one about Roswell and UFOs and another that a new TV show produced by TMZ attempts to prove. Later, Jake Brennan of Disgraceland joins to give UFO-themed movie and music recommendations. Plus, your voicemails, texts, and emails.

Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 629 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Oh, it's just another Tube Screamer, and do vintage parts make a difference or do we just want to believe in magic?Blake opens up with a traffic report before the guys jump into a most luciferous episode about pedal schematic similarities. The guys somehow manage a full ten minutes on nothing but pedals and schematics before anyone checks they're on the right podcast. Brian explains how one humble skeleton - your 808, your OD-1, your DOD 250 - can be filtered into a fuzz, a distortion or very nearly anything in the dirt realm, while Richard tinkers with pedal number two for Oliver FX. This leads straight to the vintage-versus-modern-components hill Richard is prepared to die on, well maybe, a cautionary tale about the '69(ish) fuzz face he sold for peanuts, and exactly why germanium is still a nightmare to build with. It was Blake's birthday, which somehow means two boxes of Katz's pastrami, a proposed rebrand to Chasing Food, and a heartfelt happy birthday from Brian that lands with the opposite of the intended effect. Trigger warning - he does a Marilyn Monroe impersonation. The D'Addario AI saga finally gets a verdict, Richard coins the snark reflex, and NAM turns up everywhere...Random string packs, the great vinyl-versus-CD debate, desk maxing, a fill-it-yourself color-changing guitar, and one very unlucky arrested guitarist...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Courses and DIY mods:https://www.bluesguitarmethod.comhttps://www.betterguitartone.comhttps://www.wamplerdiy.comhttps://www.guitarpedalcourse.comCheck out Oliver Effects:https://oliverfx.co.ukYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Support the show
Author Mima Tipper discusses her latest novel, Channeling Marilyn, a heartfelt and hilarious young adult paranormal comedy. The novel follows high school senior Lexa Donovan, who's tired of feeling like a supporting character in her own life. So when the tall, plus-size teen unexpectedly lands the role of Cherie, the sexy showgirl, in her high school's production of the play Bus Stop, she's shocked. After all, the role was immortalized by none other than Marilyn Monroe in the 1956 film adaptation. But Lexa's biggest surprise is still to come. Before she can talk herself out of the part, Marilyn Monroe's ghost appears and offers to become her personal acting coach. What follows is a whirlwind of awkward rehearsals and laugh-out-loud moments as Lexa tries to navigate high school theater accompanied by the spirit of a Hollywood legend. In this episode, Mima and I discuss her writing journey, why she believes Marilyn Monroe continues to fascinate audiences decades after her death, and how reimagining the ending of a cultural icon's story became a powerful way to process her own grief.

The conspiracy theories surrounding Marilyn Monroe’s death in 1962 continue to entertain the imaginations of those obsessed with celebrity and scandal. The stories, many of them fantastical and one of them true, feature cameos by the likes of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, and Rat Pack members Frank Sinatra and Peter Lawford. Somewhere in the pile of countless rumors, innuendos, and crackpot theories is a closer understanding of exactly what happened and why the world lost its most iconic American actress at the young age of 36. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault and suicide. If you’re thinking about suicide, or are worried about a friend or loved one, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Cruise's daughter has quietly cut the cord, and she didn't need a headline to do it. We're unpacking how Suri chose a very pointed new surname, where eagle-eyed fans found the proof, and why this feels like the loudest silent statement in Hollywood.Then, one of the buzziest new shows has pulled off a casting move so cheeky it's basically a dare. Two of its young stars share a very tangled family history, because their parents were once one of Hollywood's great fairytale romances — and reporters on the red carpet made them squirm over it.Plus, a fresh first look at a bold new take on an icon, with two very different actresses stepping into the same legendary shoes.TAKE THE SPILL QUIZ HERETHE END BITS Find and follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespillpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thespillpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thespillpodcast/ Read all the latest entertainment news on Mamamia: https://mamamia.com.au/entertainment/Support Independent Women’s Media.

Such a tumultuous life is hard to completely snuff out and perhaps Marilyn Monroe's spirit continues to live on in the afterlife. Not just in our memories, but as a spirit still walking among us.

Marilyn Monroe is one of the greatest Hollywood stars of all time. She rose from orphan to icon by creating an on screen character America could not peel their eyes away from. And she did it all while battling anxiety, depression and addiction. Along the way she bedded, married, and otherwise conquered America’s most impressive men — Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller, Frank Sinatra and President John F. Kennedy to name a few. And her relationship with JFK and his younger brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, would prove disastrous and result in long-running rumors and conspiracy theories about her death that are as hard to debunk as they are to dismiss. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault and suicide.

In Episode 378 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, years ago you decided you're just not a people person. Not a natural up front of people. And you've been paying for that one little sentence ever since. It doesn't feel like a lie. It feels like being honest and humble about your own limits. You're not bragging when you say you're just not wired that way. It actually sounds modest, self-aware even. Which is exactly why it's so easy to live inside it for decades. But a limit you've never actually tested isn't humility. It's a guess you've been treating like a hard fact. In this solo Wednesday episode drawn from his What's Real newsletter, Jason dismantles the born-with-it myth using one of the most famous women who ever lived, a researcher who spent her career studying what people believe about their own potential, and thirteen years of bombing in front of crowds before figuring out what actually works. Charisma isn't a gift. It's a skill. And if the one trait everyone is surest is hardwired from birth turns out to be learnable — so is everything else you've written off about yourself. In this episode, Jason covers: The lie that sounds like humility — and why that's exactly what makes it so expensive Marilyn Monroe on the New York City subway in 1955 — and what happened 15 seconds later on the sidewalk The charisma course built for UC Berkeley's business school — and why you don't build a curriculum for something people are born with The three learnable behaviors that make up what everyone calls charisma Why “I'm just not” is the cheapest cage to build — and what it actually costs you Carol Dweck's research on fixed vs. growth mindset — and the one word that changes everything What Jason's 13 years as a pastor and years teaching bored teenagers actually taught him about presence The one uncomfortable thing to do this week that contradicts the sentence you've been repeating for years What Proverb 9:9 says about wisdom — and why the fool's problem was never his raw material The door was never locked. This episode will show you where the key has been sitting all along.
Travelers on the Kansas trail stopped at a lonely inn run by a family of Spiritualists — and the ones who sat in the seat nearest the curtain were never seen leaving it.
Los Angeles hides an almost overwhelming number of ghosts behind its glamour, from the piano-playing spirit at Hollywood's Magic Castle and the body found in the Cecil Hotel's water tank to the sex-magick rocket scientist, Father Yod's robed disciples, and the cults that made the City of Angels a capital of the occult.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/hauntedlaREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p98dtw7CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:24.727 = Hollywood's Haunted Magic Castle00:09:13.905 = Los Angeles' Haunted Hotels ***00:27:05.636 = Los Angeles: City of the Occult ***00:51:50.907 = L.A.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness turns to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and the almost overwhelming number of ghosts, haunted hotels, and occult history hiding behind its glamour, from the Magic Castle and the Cecil Hotel to the sex-magick rocket scientist Jack Parsons, cult leader Father Yod, and the ghosts of Griffith Park.It opens inside Hollywood's Magic Castle at 7001 Franklin Avenue, the private clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, where the Houdini Séance Room honors a magician who spent his career trying to debunk spiritualism and left his wife Bess the code phrase "Rosabelle, believe" for contact from the afterlife. The castle carries the story of Irma, the piano-playing ghost said to have died in 1932 and returned to the mansion built in 1909 by Rollin B. Lane, along with the ghost of magician Dai Vernon near his favorite seat in the Palace of Prestidigitation, the unidentified girl in the Haunted Cellar, and a Halloween 2011 fire that started at the exact time of Houdini's 1926 death and gutted the Dante Room while sparing the Houdini Room.From there the episode checks into the haunted hotels of Los Angeles, beginning with the Knickerbocker, which opened in Hollywood in July of 1929, hosted Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio on their honeymoon, and staged Bess Houdini's tenth and final rooftop séance the night an isolated thunderstorm struck the building alone. It moves through the Ambassador on Wilshire Boulevard, where Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen on June 4, 1968, the Rosslyn Annex with its forgotten Prohibition speakeasy, the Alexandria and its bricked-off phantom wing, the Biltmore where Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, was last seen before her 1947 murder, and the Cecil Hotel, home to serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger and the site where guest Elisa Lam was found dead in the rooftop water tank in 2013 after guests complained the water tasted strange.Next the episode traces L.A.'s long history of the occult, running from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and his early Pasadena partnership with rocket scientist Jack Parsons, who performed the "Babalon Working" ritual and later died at 37 in a home laboratory explosion, to Charles Manson and the Family murders of August 1969 that killed Sharon Tate and six others, Carlos Castaneda and the Yaqui shaman Don Juan Matus who launched the New Age movement, and Jim Baker, the marine turned messiah Father Yod, who took fourteen wives and led the Source Family from a Hollywood Hills mansion. It covers avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger and the witch Marjorie Cameron, the 1920 LAPD raid on the Mazdaznan sun-worshipers, the love-cult of Edith Maida Lessing at Mount Helios, the Devil's Gate Dam in Pasadena, and the curse Petronilla Feliz laid on the land that became Griffith Park.The episode closes with a tour of famous L.A. ghosts: the more than one hundred jumpers off Pasadena's Colorado Street "suicide bridge," including Myrtle Ward, whose daughter survived the fall; the body parts Marines found in a freezer at the abandoned Rancho Los Amigos hospital in 2006; picnic table number 29 in Griffith Park, where a couple was crushed by a falling tree in 1976; Bela Lugosi's hearse drifting past his favorite cigar shop; the many spirits of the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach; the unsolved 1929 deaths of Ned Doheny and Hugh Plunkett at Greystone Mansion; the ghost of Superman actor George Reeves; and Bob Baker, still haunting his marionette theater alongside the dead puppeteers who worked there.
This week, Scheana is back in the studio with Kiki Monique, and there's a lot to catch up on—from Fourth of July party politics and Bravo feuds to celebrity weddings, biblical plagues, and the latest pop culture chaos. Scheana reveals why she was checking the guest list before accepting Lance Bass' party invite, and questions exactly what Lisa Vanderpump thinks she “lied” about in her book. Plus, she shares what Brock said about Tom and Victoria's relationship that apparently struck a nerve—and why the warning signs may have been there all along. Then, Scheana and Kiki unpack America's strangely anticlimactic 250th birthday and the series of weather disasters surrounding Trump's Freedom 250 celebrations that had them wondering: if we're using the religious extremists' logic, was Mother Nature trying to send a message? They also debate whether Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding was our generation's royal wedding, make the case for a Madison Square Garden ceremony, and wonder whether Blake Lively's missing invitation got lost in the mail. Kiki delivers her official report on what's worth watching, what Bravo fans should be talking about, and which stories have taken over her feed. Plus, why was Kiki left off the RHOC premiere party guest list, and what does a two-way mirror, Marilyn Monroe, and the Kennedy brothers have to do with any of this?

This July, we're revisiting five classic topics in our Conspiracy Theories: Rewind series! Marilyn Monroe has been a cultural icon since she dominated Hollywood in the 1950s.
