S13E4: I’m In The Mood For Love | Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito & Jennie Jerome Churchill

This week, Stacie gushes about two of her favorite actors, and Alicia raves about one of her favorite women of the Gilded Age. Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito’s 40-year-long romance was an inspiration, but so is their post-breakup story. American heiress Jennie Jerome was locked out of New York high society, so she became a doyenne of the British aristocracy instead – and mother of a future Prime Minister – by marrying to become Jennie Jerome Churchill.
