"The Last Courtesan" Had A Twisted Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Pamela Harriman was a wealthy country girl with big dreams. During a time when women only dreamed of equal opportunity, Pamela used her refined manners and seductive prowess to woo powerful men in high places. Her ambition was tantamount, and by entertaining romances with famous men, she climbed her way to the very top. She was, in every way, both a masterful businesswoman and a bewitching lover.

Oh wow! She lived such a crazy life. Thanks for sharing this story with us ❤
Thanks for listening!
In WW2 Pamela dropped them for Britain, "entertaining" American politicians for her father-in-law Sir Winston Churchill.
The ultimate courtesan.
I admire her for her ability to take charge of her life and determine her own path, especially decades before the '60s feminist movement. But yikes! Her habit of using people for her own ends---the sole purpose of which was to gain wealth and status---speaks of psychopathy. A complex personality.
Yes, I think her childhood had much to do with her focus.
If she were a man, she’d be admired for these personality traits.
I found it pathetic. She couldn’t make her successes without riding the coattails of another. And it was the rich. Did she ever truly love or live? Seems she was always looking for how rich she could become.
Women throughout the millenia have used their bodies to gain wealth and status. It's hardly admirable, and it's certainly nothing new.
How DID she manage all her conquests?
Pamela Digby was born into a faded aristocrat family way out in the boonies. She was neither pretty nor educated. She was teased for being plump and for wearing bad clothes. Her birth, nevertheless, opened doors for her. Read Christopher Ogden's bio on this interesting woman, Life of the Party. She faked it until she made it, marrying well several times. She was close to the Clintons. She died a wealthy woman.
Whilst she might not have been one of the great beauties of her age, she knew how to please powerful men - and not in the typical way people assume. She knew how to entertain, make them feel at ease. I think she was a great listener; made them feel important and soothe their egos; knew how to prepare their favourite drinks and how to dress in a way that pleased them. I read she was skilled with gifts - picking out just the right cigarette case or some other charming item to please her current man. She most likely had an intelligent approach to everything, knew how to run a household - perfect home with flowers, dining table, wine cellar and foods - those sorts of things. Plus I would assume she had a soothing speaking voice that would relax a man as he unwound in her company - she'd take charge, where she was able, to deal with anything that was bothering him. There are many qualities that can make a woman who isn't a beauty knock out the prettier competition - I think Pamela was one of those well-rounded women - while her aristocratic and Churchill connections would make her attractive too. It isn't generally the most beautiful women who live the most successful lives.
Extremely Informative. Thank You from Kingman, Arizona USA
She was on the CIA payroll. All those international social contacts were useful to them.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Well done! Absolutely fascinating. I knew bits and pieces about all these characters, but your video put all the pieces together. Thank you.
Thanks
Same prototype as the Gabor sisters.
Hi I love your videos. Could you feature a story on Walter Tetley. His life was very unique and interesting.
March 20th, we share that but alas nothing else. Lol
This is really interesting and you did a great job. Try not to drop your voice at the end of your sentences, some of your words get lost.
FACTINATE: DO BETTER!!
Pamela Harrison?
Maybe learn the correct pronunciation of names and stop using photos that are not of the person you are speaking of.
Yeah like Ann Margaret 😂
THANK YOU
Why don't you just say thank you for this FREE upload instead of complaining and criticizing? Just move on if it bothers you!
8 other woman 😂 that's beyond desperate 😅
Is this what Mm will become? Maybe she can make it into politics… gawd, I hope not!
Mm?

👍🏻✌🏼😊
She sounds like a spoiled brat and not interested in her lame story.
What happened to her son she had by Randolph Churchill?
How can anyone get to be a courtesan?
Asking for a friend
Sexual attractiveness - plus being immensely capable in terms of knowing how to present well and run things. A man likes a woman who can make his domestic set-up as luxurious and agreeable as possible. You also need to be good at conversation and entertaining at an elite level - and particularly good at listening. Courtesans were very different from mere prostitutes. They were career women of a kind - and could be both very rich and immensely powerful with salons where they entertained political luminaries and aristocrats, etc...
She cut a wide swath in the Democrat Party , if you were a politician you had arrived in the upper echelon of the Democrat party , if you were invited to one of her social soirees
Democratic party, not Democrat. That's like saying the Republic party.
@@12thDecember They are not called the Democratic Party , they are the Democrat Party , Democratic is a form of Government .
@@12thDecember No you are wrong , there is no such thing as a Democratic party , there is the Democrat party , There is no such thing as the Republic Party , it is the Republican Party .

I don’t think she was ugly, she was pretty and aged well
She did have a very good facelift.
@@margaretcaine4219 if she did, her doctor was great… better than some work done these days
I think Jackie outlived her therefore, Jackie Kennedy would have to be considered "the last courtesan".
Disgusting besmirchment of her good name.
Jackie didn't move from one man to another, and didn't focus on married men. Kennedy to Onassis= only two, neither married.
@@margaretcaine4219 Courtesans pay no mind to marital status. They DO, however, pay sharp focus on the man's bankbook. She and her sister were often described as courtesans, often by people who knew them.
@@bullirish By definition courtesans are prostitutes for wealthy men- neither sister was a courtesan which is having sex for money. They sought out wealthy men of a high social status for relationships and marriage, I would describe it as hypergamy not prostitution. Most women of their generation were encouraged to do the same.
@@lulubellecataloni5605 Well, I guess we should agree to disagree....
Just beginning to listen and already disappointed. WHY would you leave out WHERE she grew up??? “The country” could be anywhere. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
England
Also, was this also written by the reader?? Please understand the implied question. 😕
She grew up in North Dorset, England. Her family have a long history in the county
her ambition was tantamount to what lol you just ended the sentence
To everything. Those types arent fussy
