A podcast exploring writer Dominick Dunne's quest for justice amidst his incisive commentary of the high society set. Alicia (Trashy Divorces) leads a far ranging romp through the novels and Vanity Fair columns of one of the 20th century’s most unforgettable literary contributors. Covering courthouses and country clubs, Dunne’s voice was one for the ages, and Done & Dunne ensures that voice can continue to resonate with audiences today.
In this episode, Alicia tells the story of the feud between our man Nick and Frank Sinatra, which led to a bizarre altercation at The Daisy, the “it” place for Hollywood’s movers and shakers in the 1960s and 1970s.
