Welcome to the premiere of Done & Dunne! Alicia takes us through Dominick Dunne’s first act, from a comfortable childhood marred by conflict with his father, to a Hollywood career that gradually gave way to substance misuse, the breakdown of his marriage, and finally, a long stay at a remote cabin in Oregon where Nick began to piece himself back together.
