Having flown to Cape Town, India and points in between, a quick jaunt to check the extent of flooding in the fens one spring  afternoon in 1937 was the kind of flight she could almost make with her eyes closed.  Then, unseasonably, it started snowing.  Coastal Stories is researched, written, produced and presented by Charlie Connelly. https://ko-fi.com/coastalstories/ https://www.facebook.com/Coa...2022-08-1211 minCoastal StoriesCoastal StoriesSandend Saves The MariaSandend, a tiny fishing village on the coast of the Moray Firth, has seen its fair share of the joys, hardships, successes and tragedies that go with being a place for sea people.

Her Self-Portrait in the Green Bugatti has been said to define the 1920s in a single image, becoming the personification of the Jazz Age. Her aim was never to emulate, but to create a new style with bright, luminous colours, drawing out elegance from the models she used. However, the following decade was defined by a rise in autocracy and, troubled by the Hitler youth, she and her husband left for America.

His unprecedented talent changed the face of the game into the glamourous spectacle it is known for today. But, this undeniable genius did not save him from moments of sporting decline and loss.

He began his career as an extra, occasionally landing smaller speaking parts, before screenwriter June Mathis saw his talents and landed him his first major role in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

It was a trait she inherited from her father, Wilhelm Dinesen, and led to literary success including Out Of Africa, an account of the years she spent running a coffee plantation in Kenya.

After his death, her mother kept the silver plate he had fitted as part of his jar after previously losing it in battle - and the young Marie was fixated.

He lived an extraordinary life in extraordinary circumstances, performing for and with European royalty and president John Adams called him the most accomplished man in Europe. So, why is it so few have heard of him? The answer lies in the payoff line of a 1786 newspaper feature on the musician that called him a 'mulatto, the son of an African mother'. He was constantly referred to as the Black Mozart and experienced tropes that are still familiar today constantly whispered behind his...2021-07-1912 minGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyMaria von TrappIn this episode, host Charlie Connelly looks at the life of stepmother and matriarch of the Trapp Family Singers Maria von Trapp. Hers was a story of rags to riches, back to rags and progressing to riches once again. The turbulent life of her and her family was the inspiration for the 1959 iconic Broadway musical The Sound of Music, and later 1965 film version. While others profited from the feature, she did not.

She was always called a recluse, but this was not strictly true. Residing in the heart of Manhattan, she could often be found in art galleries and auction houses alike. She may have had her eccentricities, such as making her coffee in a casserole dish, but she still had a familiar presence in the city. She portrayed characters whose lives had been battered by injustice, with their stories often ending in tragedy. Needless to say, it was a sentiment she captured with skill as by the...2021-07-1911 minGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyHerbert LomIn this episode, host Charlie Connelly delves into the life of Czech–born British actor Herbert Lom. He was most identified for his performance as Charles Dreyfus in the Pink Panther series, an endearing character that was a welcome change from sinister accusations Lom constantly received as a Czech residing in Britain during the Second World War. He knew what it was to be an outsider, working hard to stand out in the industry and snatch a place at the heart of British society after gaining citizenship. Still, away from the stage and studio, he remained perpetually in transit between th...2021-07-1910 minGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyRoald AmundsenIn this episode, host Charlie Connelly discusses the life of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. The mystery of the Earth’s poles has long tantalised explorers and Amundsen was no exception. Unquestionably a man of the North who spent years obsessed with the Arctic at the top of the world, curiously he was the first man to reach the South Pole. The answer as to how this hardy and methodical Norwegian made this unexpected discovery lies in money, glory and pragmatism. To this day, he remains one of the 20th century’s greatest explorers, if not one of the greatest ever.

With one of the most unforgettable personalities of the 20th century, she helped create a modern celebrity. Marrying nine times, she is remembered as a serial bride who would shoot off one-liners about her various husbands on multiple talk shows. Henry Kissinger called her one of the brightest women he had ever met, regardless of her fiery Hungarian temper that often landed her in hot water. But, Gábor could never understand why this shocked people, after all, she often quipped, Hungarians ar...2021-07-1912 minGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyMarguerite DurasIn this episode, host Charlie Connelly examines the life of French novelist, playwright and screenwriter Marguerite Duras. Feeling uncomfortable at home with her mother’s obvious favouritism of her brother, she found solace in the cinema from an early age - in particular in Charlie Chaplin’s films. One day, she caught a glimpse of Elizabeth Striedter, wife of the new regional governor, as she made her way back from the cinema. Fascinated by the woman, she soon began writing characters directly based on her. In fact, she often credits Strieder as the very reason she became a writer and the...2021-07-1611 minGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellySalvador DaliIn this episode, host Charlie Connelly looks at the life of Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali. By his own admission, at the age of seven, he wanted to be Napoleon and his ambition only grew from this age. His combination of flamboyance, wit and talent made him one of the most recognisable artists of the age, a fame that was further assisted by his gravity-defining and always immaculate moustache. To this day, the quality of his work endures as potently as the self-belief of the man himself. Enjoyed this episode?

Much like his heroes Maria Callas and Elvis Presley, he taught himself to sing, eventually leading to his new York debut at Irving Plaza's New Wave Vaudeville show in 1978. He soon rose to fame in the New York club scene with his offbeat covers of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead and Chubby Checker’s The Twist, and his original electronic pop and operatic arias filled venues. However, diagnosed with AIDS when the disease was in its infancy, he died in 1983 at the age of 39, an...2021-07-1612 minGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyGreat European Lives with Charlie ConnellyJosephine de BeaumarchaisIn this episode, host Charlie Connelly discusses the life of Empress of the French and wife of Emperor Napoleon I Josephine de Beaumarchais. She may have gained the title of Empress but she was the queen of reinvention, narrowly escaping death by guillotine during Robespierre’s Reign of Terror. Going from the daughter of a struggling Caribbean sugar planter to the ultimate darling of Parisian society, she was a master of personal evolution. Enjoyed this episode?

In Paris, she was renowned for her beauty, talent and, naturally, her name. As the daughter of Marie Curie, despite her own success, she never shook off the guilt that she was the only member of her family to avoid working with radiation and its harmful effects. She took the Curie name across the world, but its legacy never stopped weighing heavily on her. Enjoyed this episode?

He may have been best known for his performances in Tootsie, Cheers and Policy Academy, but this late break-through into the limelight left him fighting a career-long battle between not being well-known enough and being too well-known. Still, this remains one of the least interesting things about him. Before launching a career that took on opera, film and broadway, he endured some of Europe’s stormiest times. Enjoyed this episode?

In the 1974 World Cup finals in West Germany, his footballing skills outwitted Swedish right-back, Jan Olsson, with a move that still bewilders the Swede to this day. It remains one of the most replayed World Cup moments in history and his skill, vision and innate Dutchness allows him to be regarded today as one of the geniuses of the game. Enjoyed this episode?
