Greek shipping magnate and globe trotting rich guy Aristotle Onassis might have been a minor figure in the minds of most Americans if he hadn't inserted himself into the American psychodrama that is the Kennedy family. But obviously, his life and riches did not begin with his courtship of the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy. His story began decades before, with a hot opera singing girlfriend and a dream - of selling cigarettes to women. Hey, everybody starts somewhere.

Actress Jaclyn Smith is best known for being the only one of Charlie's Angels to complete the entire series run back in the late 70s and early 80s, but she's also managed to maintain a busy professional schedule across many decades, both in television and film and by pioneering her own line of women's apparel with Kmart. And with all that, she's also managed three divorces and four marriages.

The Duncan Hines brand is probably as close to a universally beloved product as we get here in the States, but for most of the real life Duncan Hines's seven decades prior to the baked goods thing, no one could have anticipated that outcome. Born in 1880, he came of age in the new era of automobiles, and as a traveling salesman, he developed a habit that would make him an icon of the era: he took meticulous notes about the little roadside eateries he encountered as he traversed the nation in the first decades of the 20th century. Often, he was accompanied by one of his three wives as he eventually built a little publishing empire, and then a successful branding and licensing enterprise that has been gifting Americans with delightful baked goods for the better part of a century.

Screen legend Bette Davis made her mark in Hollywood by being willing to take on - and forcefully, perfectly inhabit - any interesting role that came her way. Her persona is iconic: a sharp-tongued wit, cigarette dangling, willing to shape-shift into fascinating portrayals of pathos. She was even the participant in one of Hollywood's greatest feuds, with fellow diva Joan Crawford. Her personal life was as topsy-turvy as her roles; she had three divorces and also became a widow under somewhat mysterious circumstances.
Don't forget to enter our Bette Davis Coffee and Book Giveaway with Breakfast at Dominique's! Email us at [email protected] by Friday, October 11, with the subject line "Bette" and we'll announce our two winners on next Sunday's show!

Hollywood legend Lena Horne changed what was possible for African-Americans performers in America. After a difficult childhood, she found a key ally in her father, who made clear to studio head Louis B. Mayer that he could hire a maid for his daughter - she would not need to play one on screen. Alternating between Hollywood, which was depressing because of its limitations on Black actors, and a thriving nightclub career, she built a prolific and unique career trajectory that saw her become a prominent voice in the Civil Rights Movement, and a central figure in the Hollywood spiderwebs that Alicia loves so much.
We're on break next week, but will be back with more Trashy Divorces on October 6!

Every so often, we like to take a beat to catch up with some of our exes in a show format we call Dumpster Dive! We do these weekly on Patreon, but in this super expanded mama-jama main feed edition, we bring you the latest in celebrity scandals from TD alums and beyond. This week, we take a look at Dave Grohl's disappointing baby drama (and some internet hoaxery), Tori Spelling's latest career moves, Britney Spears's liberation - not really - from child support payments, the universally anticipated divorce of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Jon Bon Jovi's Nashville hero turn, the long - and still somewhat uncertain - road to the Oasis reunion tour, Justin Timberlake's very good post-DUI statement, and we note the apparent swirl of affair rumors surrounding 78-year-old Donald Trump and 31-year-old Trump superfan Laura Loomer.

We've noticed a lack of royal divorce stories since we kicked off our sibling podcast Trashy Royals more than a year ago now (!). Today, Alicia is bridging that gap by bringing together - and busting apart - two of Queen Victoria's grandchildren. Yes, the long tradition of royal cousins getting hitched. These are Grand Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse and by Rhine (nickname: Ernie) and Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (nickname: Ducky). The two became the subject of intense royal meddling as Victoria, imagining herself a skilled matchmaker, pushed Ernie to propose to Ducky, not realizing Ernie was more of a man's man, if you get our drift. The whole thing, marriage and divorce, turned into a massive scandal that rocked Europe. Enjoy this crossover, and if you like what you hear, go check out Trashy Royals, wherever you're listening right now!

Melissa Gilbert grew up in front of all of our eyes playing Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie, and she managed to avoid some of the pitfalls that beset other child stars. Then she met Rob Lowe, and America's Sweetheart started a whole new chapter. It's included two divorces - one trashy, one very much not trashy - and a whole lot of spiderwebs.

Dancer and actress Joan McCracken became one of America's biggest stars in the 1940s after her scene-stealing role in Oklahoma! as Sylvie, "The Girl Who Fell Down." In her real life, she was challenged by a secret diagnosis of diabetes in an era where management of the disease was complicated at best, and her marriage to fellow dancer Jack Dunphy - who would go on to be Truman Capote's partner for decades - was wrecked her affair with a French songwriter. Joan would become Bob Fosse's second wife and a major influence in his career. Given how brief her life was - she died at just 43 - her story is an impressive array of spiderwebs into both the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe, and Alicia's Done & Dunne podcast.

Diana Ross is rightly one of the biggest stars in the world, but her fortuitous proximity to Motown Records and its founder, Berry Gordy, and his obsession with her, supercharged the musical career of a girl who dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. Their romance may not have been long lasting, but it left carnage in its wake even as Diana's star rose higher and higher.

All the televised sights from Paris lately put Alicia in a mood, so today she's got the incredible story of Natalie Clifford Barney, a leading light in the Parisian art world in the 19th century, and also a fearless out lesbian in a time when such a thing was inconceivable to most. American born, Natalie's story is fascinating on many levels, not least because of her constant intersections with and contributions to the makers of the culture in which we live - artists and writers like Collette, Romaine Brooks, Renee Vivien, Djuana Barnes, Radclyffe Hall, Janet Flanner, Solita Solano, Mina Loy, Una Troubridge, and Elisabeth de Gramont, to name just a few.
Check out more of Alicia's Paris stories on our public Patreon feed.

Once again, your requests are the best stories. Friends, we don't know where to begin with the trashiness that is Clint Eastwood, so we opted to focus mostly on his tumultuous relationship with fellow actor Sondra Locke. This one has everything - an almost pathological level of infidelity, indiscriminate fatherhood, unconventional marriages, and profound betrayals.

You asked for this one, and now we know why! Kelsey Grammer, best known for playing the cerebral and neurotic Dr. Frasier Crane for two decades on NBC, is quite the contrast to his lovable character. A childhood and young adulthood marked by unimaginable tragedies may be the key to why this uber-successful actor's personal life has veered from crisis to crisis.

Black-ish star Anthony Anderson has been enjoying the pinnacle of his career for a decade now, having helmed the hugely successful sitcom for all eight of its seasons. But the spotlight can be a tough place for someone who has repeatedly faced allegations - even criminal charges - of sexual assault. Were those allegations part of the reason for the end of Anderson's long marriage?

Screen legend Michael Landon holds a unique spot even among other wildly successful actors. Landon starred in not one, not two, but three long-running hit television series, starting with Bonanza in 1959, then the iconic Little House on the Prairie in the 70s and early 80s, and finally Highway to Heaven. He was also the consummate family man - sort of. He clearly cherished the role of 'dad' to his nine children, but his first two wives certainly weren't thrilled to be retired for newer models.

Actor Donald Sutherland had a storied career in television and film and received tributes from notable people around the world when he passed away last month. As central a character as he was on film and screen, his personal life in young adulthood was no less exciting - his two divorces and notorious early-70's affair with Jane Fonda wouldn't have led anyone to believe that his third walk down the aisle would be the charm, but indeed it was.

To close out Season 22 - although we're definitely still feeling 22 - Alicia has remixed various episodes about the life and loves of Frank Sinatra, Old Blue Eyes himself - into a mamma jamma supercut of Nancy, Sr., Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, and a ton of trashy goodness. We hope it flies you to the moon while we take our between-seasons break. See you on July 7 when we kick off Season 23!

Trashpandas have been asking for this one for ages, and today, Stacie has the story of two couples who created some of the best pop music ever, and all that's come after the two divorces that ended - for 40 years, anyway - an incredible run by the Swedish supergroup ABBA.
