The architect Stanford White (1853-1906) is credited with a host of landmark structures in New York City and beyond, but it was his sexual predation of young girls, especially the model Evelyn Nesbit, that led to his shockingly public murder and the 1907 "Trial of the Century" in its aftermath. Society figures, sexual secrets, professional jealousies, and courtroom dramas: if only Dominick Dunne had owned a time machine!

The Two Mrs. Grenvilles: Coming January 10!
Done & Dunne
01/03/22 • 5 min
Dominick’s 1985 novel The Two Mrs. Grenvilles marks the completion of his transition from Hollywood producer to writer and investigative journalist, and was an auspicious start to the second act of his career that made him a household name. Covering the events of the 1955 high society killing of William Woodward, Jr., by his wife, Ann, and the ways that the upper crust closed ranks to hide the scandal, it set the tone for all that would follow in Dominick’s final quarter century.
Coming January 10, our New York State of Crime season turns its eye to the Woodward killing and the facts and fiction behind Dominick Dunne’s The Two Mrs. Grenvilles.

28: The Two Mrs. Grenvilles | The Set Up
Done & Dunne
01/10/22 • 40 min
Welcome back to a whole new arc of Done & Dunne! For the next several episodes, we'll explore the facts and fictions of the 1955 shooting death of William Woodward, Jr., by his wife Ann, and the class-wide coverup that New York's fanciest families executed.
Dunne wrote 1985's The Two Mrs. Grenvilles as a thinly veiled fictional account of the whole sordid tale, which landed right in the sweet spot of his interest in high society's perfidy.

In a crossover episode from another of her podcasts, Trashy Divorces, Alicia presents the real-life person behind The Two Mrs. Grenvilles’ character of Babette Van Degan, socialite Barbara ‘Bobo’ Sears Rockefeller. When Bobo died at 91 in 2008, the New York Sun remembered her with this headline: “Bobo Rockefeller, 91, Married Well, Divorced Better.” An ex-wife of both a Sears and a Rockefeller, she was a prominent personality in the 1950s when she had both a well-publicized “Cinderella Wedding” to Standard Oil heir Winthrop Rockefeller, and a Divorce of the Century from him two years later.
