Another excellent episode! Mr. Markey sounded like a mix of a charmer and a heel wrapped into one. It was very intriguing learning about his romances and I'm very jealous of his involvement with Joan Bennett and Myrna Loy. What a lucky son of a gun! Can't wait for the next episode ❤
I don't know a thing about Markey,having never heard of the gentleman, but imagine being married to Hedy Lamarr! Truly, one of the most incandescently beautiful women of the Golden age (or any other) of Hollywood. For that alone, he is a character worth knowing about. As always, it's d been educational. Thanks!
Love the Kentucky Connection here Steve and Nan! - I can tell you as a NY to Kentucky Transplant back in 1988 - it is VERRY easy to fall into the wonderful lifestyle of being a "Kentucky Gentleman" - - - - - - Jeffrey Wilson
@@FromBeneathTheHollywoodSign - thanks Steve! - here is some perhaps interesting, perhaps useless trivia for you - Calumet Farm is an iconic location in Lexington - and in the Bluegrass in general.... I think it is because of Calumet - many folks think of the traditional Kentucky Horse farm as having white slat fences... in general - these horse farm fences are always BLACK - much easier to paint and maintain with black paint - I have been driving around this area daily for 30 years - and I am fairly sure Calumet is the ONLY horse farm with white fences.. Also - Calumet dates from 1924 - founded by William Monroe Wright, founding owner of the Calumet Baking Powder Company! (most of us still have some of that in our kitchens!) - also the iconic/original Calumet colors - "Devil's Red and Blue" silks - were worn on the jockeys of Calumet's 2 Triple Crown Champions - "Whirlaway" - 1941 - famous for his SUPER long tail.. and Citation in 1948 - - - - many of the Champion thoroughbreds of today still have Citation in their bloodlines.. So - I hope you feel like you have been on a VIP tour of a Bluegrass Horse Farm?? Next I will take you on a virtual Bourbon Trail tour.. - LOL - - - I love it here - would not live anywhere else.. except maybe Venice? but can't afford a gondola!
@@jgnetwork2786 Thanks, Jeffrey! I loved the virtual tour of Calumet Farms. The photos are stunning. I can see why you like living there. The lineage of those champion horses is amazing. I have been to the Kentucky Derby twice and always really love the vibe of there. I can't wait for the bourbon tour. I have been on the Jack Daniels tour in Lynchburg, TN! 🙂 Thanks for the great message! :-) Steve
He is a classic narcissist. The first thing that tipped me off is using the word "charm". Charm is not innate, you know when to turn it on and off. We use it to get a job or even a partner, but, boy he must have read up on what these girls love. Once he had his trophy, he went about his own life. How can anyone only be with Hedy 4 times! Wtf?? I bet her brains got in the way. He, at least, must have made his family proud when he went to war. The last gal had everything and was happy that he was, probably, boring. You created an excellent post here about this man. It's a shame he could not continue his admiration for these women. He just reverted back to his true self. I knew it was Jennings Lang who was shot in his jewels but I didn't know he recuperated which is good. I doubt he would like to become a eunich
I have a lot of catching up, so I'm happy to watch and listen to your entertaining and engrossing podcast. Best to you both.🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊

Thank you so much, Kerry! Yes, Gene Markey is a peculiar character. 🙂

LOL! Yes, Markey was probably a narcissist! How in the HELL did he get those fabulous women! (HA)
I agree Hedy, was quite beautiful, but for me Vivian Leigh.
Vivien Leigh was also a STUNNER! Absolutely!
