But one of the lesser remembered aspects of Hearst's life was his abandonment, in 1917, of his wife, Millicent, and their five sons, to spend the rest of his life with actress Marion Davies. One quirk of this arrangement is that Millicent never consented to a divorce from her husband, and while this scandalous state of affairs might have sunk a less powerful person, Hearst's ability to manipulate...2024-04-281h 12

nagle, ostatniej nocy.Morderstwo na jachcie?Listopad, 1924. Producent filmowy Thomas Ince swoje 44 urodziny świętuje na jachcie prasowego magnata – Williama Randolhpa Hearsta. Wszystko byłoby w porządku, gdyby nie fakt, że zaledwie kilka dni po nagle przerwanej zabawie Ince umiera. Co więcej, Hearst zdaje się robić wszystko, by zatuszować swój jakikolwiek związek z tą sprawą. Co tak naprawdę stało się na jachcie? Dlaczego przez lata Hollywood będzie plotkować, że w istocie umrzeć miał nie Ince, a… Charlie Chaplin?

VMHC LecturesA Madman’s Will: John Randolph, Four Hundred Slaves, and the Mirage of FreedomOn September 14, 2023, Greg May discussed his eye-opening new book, A Madman's Will: John Randolph, Four Hundred Slaves, and the Mirage of Freedom, about a sensational antebellum Virginia will that freed almost 400 people from slavery. John Randolph of Roanoke—one of Virginia’s best-known statesmen—was a relentless defender of the slave states’ rights, so his deathbed declaration that he wanted to free the people he enslaved took nearly everyone by surprise. But it soon emerged that Randolph had left inconsistently written wills. His lifetime of eccentric behavior gave his heirs ample room to claim that none of Randolph’s wills was valid bec...2023-09-2558 min
