Welcome to Dun & Done. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey, All Things Dominic Dunn, where we are continuing our summer of our man Nick's writing. He really does get the scoop like no one else can, especially about the ladies. The lady in our story today, a legend really, Phyllis McGuire, one of the trio of famous

singing sisters, lover of Sam Giancana for a time, too.

Dominic Dunn profiles Phyllis for Vanity Fair in June 1989 in a piece called High Roller.

You can find this profile as well in Dunn's Fatal Charms and Mansions of Limbo.

By 1989, Dominic Dunn has been at Vanity Fair for five, six years, definitely setting the pace for his third act, which will really come into focus in the early 1990s with

his crime reporting on the Menendez case and the O.J. Simpson trial. But long before that, Dunn completed

profiles of many a famous lady. We have seen a few of these this summer here on the main feed.

There are more to come.
