Great stuff, thanks for posting.

Wish I could give one moment to go back in time and be a fly on the wall at one of the Gilded Age party.

I'm thinking of making a project on Paley, its hard to find much information, may I ask what sources you used?

Thomas Sayre is my g g g g g g grandfather.

In her book The Glitter and the Gold, Consuelo Vanderbilt wrote, "a frequent and welcome guest [at Crowhurst, Surrey, England] was Ethel Higgins, later Mrs Arthur Fowler ... she was a gay and delightful visitor. During the war we worked together for our American Hospital..."

I loved this video. Well done.

Can we get a movie/ Netflix series on this woman?

Brilliant presentation! As for women architects in the Hamptons--Barbara Neski did some amazing modernist work there. I love her homes and they exude the Long Island modernist vibe!

Fascinating details. I never was able to look that closely at this when attending a service at the Dune Church.

There are a lot of comments about Consuelo's long neck. I think she did have a nice long neck, but I think some of those early images were manipulated. Photographers back in those days could make waists smaller, add shadows, smooth out complexion flaws and manipulate features to some extent, just like we can do with Photoshop and filters today. Seems a long, swanlike neck was in vogue back then. There is a yt video about that practice. You can see in the last photo with CZ Guest, Consuelo's neck looks much more "normal".

You are so wise,thank you,from a writer.

The painter John Singer Sargent was known to stretch out necks to make the sitter look more elegant but in this case he simply painted what he saw!

If any of you are interested, there are several documentaries about the Irish in America before the Revolution.

Nice 1

Gratitude for sharing her amazing life!! What a woman!!!!

Gratitude! Wonderful presentation!

Gratitude! Enjoyed every minute of this wonderfully informative presentation!

Enjoyed this presentation immensely! Gratitude!

This made me cry :-( all these stories seem very tragic indeed , especially this one ☝️

I also understand that many of the old beautiful homes have been torn down. They are beautiful, but, expensive to maintain.

I understand that Long Island is not what it used to be. 😭😭 All those womens bodies. 😭😭😡😡😡

Grace's brother Thomas B Clarke jr was my uncle .......I have many a story to tell

The terminology African American that term is used loosely, we are talking about Native American on Turtle 🐢 Island . Yes he’s exactly right about the physicality of what someone that is ignorant to the history would just consider color as what they thought 💭 it should be. That’s what the problem is.

We all need to have the recognition the history is very rich .

Hi 👋🏾 I’m doing my family history that consist of Shinnecock and Poospatuck, why aren’t we included in this documentary. Poospatuck and the other tribes out in Long Island New York. My ancestors intermingled with all. There’s no me without you , so to speak . We are all one people.

Thank you for this! A lovely video to watch. Mary's so easy to listen to she presented this so well. Thank you!

I'm very curious about the relationship between the hamlet of Remsenburg, where my husband and I bought a summer house (early 90s) and, we'd enjoyed for 20+ years. Although just 3 miles west of the town of Westhampton, Remsenburg was part of the Incorporated Town of Southampton, which seems odd. The deed, title, and survey were part of Southampton town. There are many streets, and a family cemetery with a lot of the same names mentioned in the program, ( i.e., Halsey, Remsen and such). It seems strange that we were so much closer to Eastport, the Moriches and Westhampton, yet were considered Southampton town. The only thing resembling an official building was the Post office on Main St., which was lined with wonderful 18th and 19th Century homes. Maybe you can shed some light on the matter for me! I miss spending many happy summers there. Thank you. Great presentation. Kindest regards, Roberta Sirgutz

This was wonderful! I've read GG numerous times since high school because I love the images and Fitzgerald's prose. I've wished for a long time to take a class with a critical examination of the novel, and this is a great start. I haven't seen any of the movies; I read once that there was a great silent version that is lost. Finally read 'Catcher in the Rye' when I was 30 and was clueless why it gets any attention

Thank-you very much.

Thank you this was so interesting.

Fascinating!

Thank you!!!

She had an extremely long neck. It's almost strange looking.

Thank you, It was very nice.
