    I remember the vlog you did of him when he was living in L.A. as a script writer for the movie studios. I think he wrote a letter to his daughter or someone that he wished he had not smoked. Gave him a bad heart. Wonderful vlog on this one. As all of them. Bless you.

    Thanks for this vlog Jordan. I read the biographies of Scott and Zelda. Star crossed in so many ways, and of course the sadness of Zelda's mental collapse and death in a fire at the institution where she lived. Very talented people. Thanks again. Nancy from Vandalia

      @TheRETRORITA 3 роки тому +2

      I would guess one of the bios would have been the book Zelda by Nancy Milford ? I believe. My husband gave it to me in the early 1970s and I became obsessed!

    I loved Leo DiCaprio’s version of The Gatsby but I never knew of the private life of Gatsby or Zelda and time in sanitariums in Europe and the U.S. Just read up on her more on her Wikipedia bio. What a life they both led. Love the fashion of that time period. Too bad Scott never took her to Hollywood. Thank you for the tour. It took me back to another time. Now I am going to visit the online version of the museum gift shop you just showed and look at the jewelry and other items you mentioned.

    What an incredible experience to actually be able to stay at the Fitzgerald home. That was so kind of them to open up the museum for you. I know I've said it before but that is one of your greatest attributes- the ability to make people trust in you and open up literally and figuratively about history they know and are guardians of. Another gem, my friend. Have a wonderful day. Blessings-Judith 🎵🎭

    Your last two Vlogs, in conjunction with your previous work on Fitzgerald, are an exceptionally valuable addition to the information currently held in the public domain regarding this author. By chance, BBC 4 screened a new documentary on Fitzgerald
    this week - however it failed to break any new ground. In comparison, your Vlogs provide a unique insight into the writers life. They enable the viewer to experience the textures of his world, the views from his windows, the details of his everyday life that served as a backdrop for his creativity. Altogether they offer a superb compilation for anyone (academic or otherwise) attempting to understand how much the contemporary environment influenced one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
    Thank you so much Jordan.

    A friend of mine owned this house in the 1970s and rented it out to another good friend of mine. I spent many an hour in 1978-79 in that living room (the Gatsby Room) in the winter and on that sun porch in the spring and summer imbibing adult beverages. Fun times.

    Beautiful Home and Museum. Jordan, Did you ever see the Movie, Midnight in Paris? with Owen Wilson? He goes back in time at the stroke of midnight, to meet F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and many other famous people. I really loved the movie.

  • @greeneyedcat717
    @greeneyedcat717 3 роки тому +4

    They were both so beautiful, and Zelda must have been petite - judging by her gorgeous dresses. I discovered 'The Great Gatsby' and 'The Diamond as big as the Ritz' long ago, and have never stopped loving these stories. Thank you so much Jordan for sharing your great privilege of a special, private viewing with us. Amazing! Love from Australia.

Thank you Jordan for ALL your blogs - discovered you in Hollywood and when you left I was like “that’s it” BUT I decided to travel with you! So glad I did!❤️

    I love Zelda's art. I had no idea she painted. Will have to learn more about her. There is a old coal mining town in AL on the Walker/Jefferson county line named Sayre. Growing up close to the town I have always thought her middle name was unusual because the town shared the name. Happy you got to go to the museum. Enjoyed it!

    Hi Jordan, so pleased that you got to go round the Museum this time. I love it when we get to see peoples actual clothes, it makes you feel near them. What a great photo opportunity with those cardboard cut out's of them both. Loved Zelda's cigarette holder, so many lovely personal items of theirs, not to mention the beautiful old photos of them. Nice that not everything is in cabinets or roped off. Great vlog Jordan.

    It was so interesting to see all of the artifacts from the Fitzgeralds in the museum. I love places like that where you can be up close to their personal possessions and you got to spend the night there! I live in Wilmington Delaware and the Fitzgeralds also lived here for a short time. In 1927, his Princeton roommate, John Biggs, a local lawyer suggested they live on the river in Wilmington. Scott had just finished The Great Gatsby and had begun to work on Tender is the Night. It is said they had wild parties and their New York friends would take the train down to Ellerslie, the Fitzgeralds home. Ernest Hemingway spent the night with them after watching the Yale-Princeton football game. Unfortunately, the house fell into permanent disrepair and was torn down in the 1970s. Great history for our little state!

    So interesting to see! I mentioned yesterday that I was born in Montgomery (but grew up in Jonesboro, GA where you also were recently). I noticed where Zelda had written in the front of the yearbook, “Sydney Lanier High School.” That is where my Dad graduated high school as well. It’s right down the road from where you were and it’s surprising to me how large it was! I looked it up on Google Maps to see it. Also, of note, that is where Toni Tennille (of Captain and Tennille) graduated high school as did our beloved Hank Williams. And to think, this house was just right up the street! Thanks for the vlog.

    I still have a beat-up New Directions Paperback purchased in the early 1960s and entitled "The Crack Up." It's full of notes and autobiographical pieces. One of my favorite notes is: "The kiss originated when the first male reptile licked the first female reptile, implying in a subtle, complimentary way that she was as succulent as the small reptile he had for dinner the night before." LOL! Wonderful!

      This author wrote well and he wasn't appreciated too much in his time, but his novels are like a time capsule of that period, his wife was a writer as well. He struggled with the poor/rich dichotomy in America that is timeless. Although some writers have written novels using words from back then, his were not in a hard to read language. Some people can picture themselves back in the time of his novels, as he paints a scene with words so well
