...Venus, and the first with pubic hair. She was not, by the way, the Duchess of Alba, with whom--contrary to legend--Goya almost certainly had no sexual affair. She, like her companion piece The Clothed Maja, 1800-05, was most probably a Malagan cutie named Pepita Tudo, the mistress of Prime Minister Manuel Godoy. There are portraits of Alba in the show, though neither, alas, of the great standing figures, white and black, from the Alba collection in Madrid and the Hispanic Society in New York City. We must be content with The Duchess of Alba and "La Beata...
...mysterious death of Thomas Ince during a cruise on William Randolph Hearst's yacht in 1924. Officially he died of natural causes, but rumor had Hearst murdering him. This film opts for the juicier tale. It has a lovely performance by Kirsten Dunst as Marion Davies, Hearst's beloved mistress; she makes us see why someone might kill to keep her love.

They sleep, and he dreams of one of his jealous mistresses. Then he wakes and sees the spirit of this other woman at his new partner's pillow. He is terrified, and with good reason, because his new partner is dead. What kind of magic is this? The jealous mistress is still alive, and doesn't at this stage even know...
...probably one of the favorites,” wrote FM in Part I of this series, misguidedly. “I just have an affinity for business. Why not apply to them all?” Idziak said himself. But I-banking, especially this year, is a cruel mistress and Pete did not get any job offers. By his count, he applied to 10 companies and got 10 fairly prompt rejection notices, with nary an invitation to even a first-round interview. Credit Suisse First Boston didn’t bother to inform him of its decision, while one industrious...
