I have one of these and love it. I paid a lot more for mine. I can honestly recommend it.

Cushing's disease was named after Babe's Father the neurosurgeon

That's so interesting! Thank you for bringing that up.

Indeed.

Even though most of these people seem shallow or unpleasant, it is still interesting to hear how they effected the world of which they were a part.

"Socialite" - euphemism for unemployed and filthy rich.

Yes, famous just because she's famous.

You really have to understand that back then outside employment for women was a rarity and frowned at…. a women’s job/ goal was to marry and marry well.

[@darriendastar3941]

This was really great! I've kept on coming across the name Barbara 'Babe' Paley in various biogrphies and autobiographies I've read and always thought I really ought to find out who she was. But I always got distracted, so this was like finding a lost piece of a jigsaw puzzle. I now understand *why* she was mentioned and understand why she was considered important/powerful in people's lives. Thank you so much.

[@maryroberts9315]

Thank you for this. This was the peak of "New York Society" and, for good or bad, it doesn't really exist anymore. I think Gore Vidal might make an interesting subject. He was a very well known writer, political pundit and society figure of the day and very scandalous. He was known for his feuds with Capote, Norman Mailer and W.F. Buckley. He isn't much talked about these days. He is mentioned in "Feud". He was openly bisexual.

[@JoanTarpley-hx9sh]

For a bit, he was Jackie O's "step brother." 😁😑

I don't find her life the least bit scandalous, but rather empty and boring.

[@Lisa59]

Great video but I'm wondering why Capote decided to write that book about his swans. Did he not realize he was going to screw up his good life?

[@MapleCheerUp]

Truman was his own worst enemy.

[@alisonsneed3707]

He was compelled to love them AND hate them as he did his beautiful abusive mother. Not sure if he was blind to this or saw the connection.

Ahhh Babe. Great video!

[@zero_bs_tolerance8646]

Very good. Thank you. ps Are you going to do all the Swans?

[@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys]

I thought Babe was a looker, but her rival--Ms. Guinness--looked even more attractive, in my opinion; but the one who tops them all is the actress who portrayed Babe. Sorry, can't remember their names. I think it goes without saying they were likely all very vain.

[@SmilerORocker]

And Guinness is good for ya 😂👍🇮🇪

[@LilyFlowers-hh3sc]

Happy to see you have a beauty sponsor. You deserve it.

[@user-ro8gn5th8j]

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks I wonder if Truman Capote what's jealous of these women? 🤔 Just a thought.

[@alisonsneed3707]

Yes, I’m watching Capote vs Swans. It’s so good. The casting is spot on. So are the lines, the costuming and the sets/ locations. I finally know why Capote latched on to them and why he did them dirty. His beautiful mother aspired to be like these women but didn’t stand a chance. She had a LOT of low value men, was almost a whore & between abandonments Capote, as a boy, was in the hotel room where these liaisons took place. That’ll scar a kid for life for sure.

[@Delete629]

He was a broke jealous drunk who saw a sucker so he licked it is what I gathered. Everyone has a past that doesn’t give u a pass to hurt others

[@toniadugger3954]

[@JoanTarpley-hx9sh]

Naomi Watts absolutely nailed the role of Babe Paley in the most recent film The character study most likely involved hanging around high society balls and charity events. It's actually quite easy to master the "Newport Jaw" style of speaking. Just think Thurston Howell the Third. Conversation involves folks talking as though their jaws are wired shut. Lots of "Dahling," and "Rally," as in, "Rally, dahling, you simply MUST attend Buffy's apres ski soiree, dahling! Rally, it's absolutely the event of the SEASON!" I used to have to hobnob with the well-heeled set in our town when my husband was trying to build up his new medical practice. Additionally, our city had just opened a gorgeous center for the performing arts and I starred in at least one musical every season. The wealthy are mad for nights out at The Theatah, dahling, and the patrons/donors spare no expense on cultural events. We actors KNOW that we would have no places to perform, were it not for bored socialites that give generously. I, myself would be mega rich if I had a dollar for every blue blood woman that would sidle up to me at cocktail receptions and say, "You know, I wanted to be a serious, dramatic actress - and I think I would have been a good one - of course, Daddy would have been utterly MORTIFIED! Mummy would have disowned me!" I would think to myself, "Jeeze, lady, we're not carnies on the midway! Acting professionally is a legitimate occupation. Damn, read the room!" My mother's people were power players in state politics, so I have always rubbed shoulders with Old Money and Trust Fund Babies. Personally, I comport myself with the same level of interest and commitment to being a decent human being whether I am yachting or shooting pool in a dive bar. Billionaires don't impress me one whit. I am impressed by single mothers that go to a job each day and although money is tight, they raise fine, good hearted children. Those that operate shelters that rescue precious animals or older gentlemen that worked 45 years as a hotel porter or elevator operator and kept a jovial attitude, no matter what life challenges were off the clock. The kinds of people that take pride in what they do. Day in and day out, they show up and they are always an asset to their employer. They show up and make everyone's day brighter. That is who I admire, unheralded every day heroes.

I am getting tired of hearing the word, "Babe" being uttered by another woman from a nation in the commonewealth or whatever in a sarcastic tone. I don't believe that I am the only person alive today who feels that way.

One has to ask, what drug are you taking? Do you naturally speak as if you are on drugs?

[@nancywillaert5129]

Why suggestion of drugs? Maybe if you listened well I hear a little lisp but also a other language. You wouldn’t want to hear me speaking English due its not my first’s language it’s Dutch and then French. So my English depends on the accent I hear. Never learned English at school but self learned.
