Marjorie Merriweather Post being accused of pulling off an art heist is ridiculous! She saved and rescued great works of art for posterity, using her money wisely to facilitate the process. Miss Post is to be commended as a patroness extraordinaire of the arts and not condemned as an art thief by those who are obviously not so well informed. We shall not dwell on your faux pas. I still like watching your videos of interesting houses. Do continue.

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

CW Post didn't 'technically' leave it all to Marjorie. She had to fight the board of the company and win in court in order to take over. But she was tenacious, and proved up to the task.

[@chrisallen7911]

I enjoyed the video and your research, but am aghast at your portrayal of her as a thief. MMP fed millions of Russians that were starving at the time. The Russian Government at the time was destroying or selling all the historical items that belonged to the Romanov Dynasty. The WORLD ought to THANK HER for SAVING all those art treasures and for taking them to America where they would be saved and restored. Yes, she probably obtained some items that had been stolen, but all of the Russian artifacts had been stolen from the Romanov Family. Stalin and his government hated the Romanov Dynasty and wanted all traces of them removed. I for one am Thankful that a Billionaire saved some of the finest treasures of Russia.

[@theoriginalbridgetconnors]

Thank you for posting that. I was going to post something similar before I saw it.

[@camhamster3891]

Even Queen Mary took a little advantage of the Russian branch of the family when push came to shove, and gained many fine pieces of Romanov jewelry in exchange for the safe passage of some who fled. MMP saw an opportunity and went for it.

I’ve been to Hillwood in DC. it’s a beautiful home still configured as the home it was at the height of Marjorie’s living there among ALL her museum pieces in every room. How the home is showcased is not for the making of the museum, but how the home actually looked then…..and has stayed that way. It’s a beautiful property.

This is an outstanding property! It has the most comprehensive collection of Russian Imperial Art outside of the Kremlin. It also has an important collection of 18th century French art, including Marie Antoinette’s writing desk.

I actually met Marjorie’s daughter Eleanor in the late 1990’s. I remember her stories, the best one was how when she was a child, the Post’s yacht Sea Cloud was fitted with one of the world’s first refrigeration systems in order to have Thanksgiving dinner while half way around the world. Refrigeration system provided by Clarence Birdseye himself. Also worked for General Foods and your research is spot on.

If you ever visit Hillwood, they tell how the Czarist artifacts purchased by Ms Post were in fact thrown out to be broken down and destroyed. She purchased the items (DID NOT STEAL) that were available and they are all on display as museum pieces for the public to enjoy. For those of us who love history, but will never be able to afford to go to Russia to visit their Armory, it is exhilarating to see.

She was a remarkable woman. Philanthropist, art collector, business woman & socialite. She was not as successful in her personal relationships. She was Barbara Hutton’s aunt by marriage & mother of actress Dina Merrill. My favorite house of hers is Hillwood. The art she collected was purchased at a fair price from current owners. Provenance may have been questionable due to revolutions but she did not do anything illegal or out of the ordinary for the time.

[@linkedinlove106]

During the Gilded Age, a few men invested in America's burgeoning industrialization - the railroad and large ships among others. These men fought each other, but also willingly (or involuntarily) merged companies to create behemoths, generating fabulous wealth. Then, Marjorie and her numerous husbands did largely the same. She lived, she married, but she built an empire with her restless ambition all along the way. Today, practically everything we eat and use (aside from computer-related) had its start in one of these little companies without which our lives would be more meager. It's fascinating!

But we lived higher up on the hill than she did, so we "looked down on her".

A daughter to Marjorie and EF Hutton was Dina Merrill, the beautiful and popular actress of the fifties and early sixties. I must say one aspect of this story I’m not certain to be accurate. I worked at the hospital in West Palm Beach where Marjorie was brought during her final illness. When she passed it was well known within the hospital but for her privacy’s sake the information regarding the circumstances were not available immediately available for public consumption. This was not an uncommon practice at the time as one’s privacy was respected. Within the hospital everyone was aware when Dina Merrill was with her mother in the hospital. The hospital was St. Mary’s.

[@annerodgers9149]

Janice Browning. I painted four of her grandchildren for her. She wasn’t easy to deal with, but her son was really who I worked with. When I finished the twins, I received a call from her, “Anne, do you think they are large enough?…I should have reminded her that the paintings could easily be cut down in size by restretching them, but you couldn’t add to them . I painted the last two stretched smaller. Whatever.😊

I grew up across from Mar-A-Lago in the 80s when it was shuttered in mystery and even came out to myself on the seawall with the sun coming up over the tower. I would be very lucky to visit multiple times in the late 1990s and it was actually a very intimate space even though it had just been converted to a club. You never felt overwhelmed. I even went to the local sales of discarded items from the estate including the original torch bearer's lanterns. It was truly a magical space. Sadly Mrs. Post's (for some reason I always call her Mrs. Post) Adirondack NY Camp Topridge property was left out of the video. It is an amazing property. So is the Sea Cloud. Wonderful video as always.

I live in Battle Creek where Post and Kelloggs were both founded. Post here was not changed to General foods. We used to be called Cereal City. Kelloggs brothers story is very interesting also. The Kellogg Foundation took one of the homes from Kelloggs and moved it downtown, restored it and uses it for Residents who come to work at the Foundation. This was not John Harvey Kellogg but his brother who was a Dr who started the Foundation. There is a beautiful home at Gull Lake that was also preserved. Maybe you could do the Kellogg Brothers homes 🏡 Thanks for the vidoe

[@tasaab]

Been to the Post plant at ton of times in the late 1990’s. If I recall the story, there was a “health” clinic in Battle Creek, CW invented “Postum” cereal which was used at the institution. I believe there is a whole move about that institution, can’t remember the name. Then came “Grape Nuts”. Both in the late 1890’s. Can’t remember who got to the extruded flake technology, Post or Kellogg, nor can I remember whether or not they were together then split, I don’t think so. But once both companies were established, Battle Creek was the capital of the cereal world for decades and decades. The plants are right next to each other, there was a Ralston Purina cereal plant just down the street, so they were all there for years.

Marjorie wanted GF to but out Clarence Birdseye for $2 million. E.F. Hutton shot down the idea; when the company did buy Birdseye a few years later, it was for$56,000,000 (should have listened to her). She sailed her yacht to the Soviet Union without bothering to get visas for the crew. Herbert May was from the May Department Stores family. She had the same, but different, problem with him that she had had with E.F. Hutton: Hutton couldn't keep his hands off any pretty girl he saw - May couldn't keep his hands off any handsome boy he saw (at least according to her biography "Heiress"). Whoa!!!!

I don't think that she stole the art from the Soviets. They were more than willing to sell, using those monies to help modernise the new Soviet Union.

Probably saved a lot of the objects from being destroyed.

I was also fascinated by MarALargo because of the Marjorie Merriweather Post history. As we entered Palm Beach we saw the large flag and became aware Trump was at MarALago as Daytona was on that weekend. We were stopped at the front and pulled over by police asking what business we had there and where we were going. I said we were Australian visitors and wanted to see the Winter White House. He pointed behind him , to MarALago, ,and said here it is Ma'am. I said "No, we want to see the REAL Winter White House at 1095 North Ocean Blvd.' He giggled and pointed north and said "Just follow this road. Have a nice day!" We then continued to see the Kennedy Winter White House!

Can you spotlight The Oceanside in Magnolia, MA and associated buildings? The Magnolia Historical Society could be of great help. The Hesperus was also another fine hotel in Magnolia of that era. Love your channel!
