Done & Dunne

In this episode, we continue our journey into Sunny and Claus von Bülow, taking them from their June 1966 marriage to Christmas 1980, as the second attempted murder of Sunny by Claus at Clarendon Court, their Newport RI home. The fourteen years covered here takes our couple from happiness to adultery and then suspicious of even darker themes, before it all comes crashing down.

We begin a deeper investigation into the scandal that rocked high society in the 1980s, the twice attempted murder of Sunny von Bülow and the subsequent trials of her second husband Claus von Bülow for those crimes.

In this first episode, we introduce and get to know the main characters in this story, Martha “Sunny” Sharp Crawford and Claus von Bülow. What happens in their lives before and up to their marriage in 1966?

There are so many sticky spiderwebs that might surprise you in this one, including Coco Chanel, Truman Capote, Ann Woodward, and the very first case of murder by insulin poisoning – it really does all come together.

In this final episode of our Summer of Swans, we travel to the California home of Joanne Carson where Truman Capote spent his last days in August of 1984.

Truman, infamous writer and collector of Swans, has some pretty epic stories in his last months, as told by his friends before his passing on August 25. Then, we drop in on Truman’s first memorial service with mourners attached to Dominick Dunne in so any ways, including John Gregory Dunne, Joan Didion, Carol Marcus Matthau, Robert Blake, Artie Shaw and Christopher Isherwood.

This week, we begin the wind down our summer Swan series by investigating the third act of Truman Capote, including those scandalous chapters of Answered Prayers which targeted and alienated his Swans. In 1966, Truman claimed double success with the publication of In Cold Blood. Ultimately though, these achievements combined with his own hubris do not lead Capote to happiness, as his last decade reveals.

What happened at the White House in 1961? How does Lee become the real villain in this story, at least according to Truman? So much bad blood, and these problems can never be solved.
