Friends, you may not be ready for the epic trashiness we have compacted for you this week. First up, Stacie has the astonishing back story of Bonnie Lee Bakley, a murder victim whose 2001 death led to years of legal and financial trouble for her tenth husband, actor Robert Blake. Then, Alicia has the incredible story of Pamela Churchill Harriman, "the 20th-century's most influential courtesan," who advised her father-in-law Winston through the darkest days of the Blitz and finished her life as an accomplished American diplomat.
