Welcome to Dun & Dun. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey All Things Dominic Dunn,

where it always connects in ways that you sometimes might not anticipate.

Thank you for joining me today in our week of the big four. It is to our second gal in this Lake Forest girl gang today, Courtney Louise Letts.

Her story is incredible and packs in quite a light. Courtney was very glamorous, four times married,

including to an explorer and a diplomat. Courtney was an author as well. You cannot say

these gals didn't have adventures. It is to the second of our big four, one of the world's

best dressed women, Courtney Letts, with Spiderwebs leading to, of course, Wallace Simpson, but also have Scott Fitzgerald,

FDR and his wife Eleanor, and maybe even Truman Capote too.

Let's investigate.

Music Hey, hey, hey, everybody, we're back.

We're back for the big four.

We're on the big second of the big four. Stacey, you're back with me. It wasn't yesterday fun. Kidnapping. That was bizarre. Omaha juries just soft on crime, just letting everybody go. These stories, I thought this was really just going to be like a one episode Sally kind of thing.

Hey, let me tell you all about the big four so I can put them in your world, but everything is

connected to these gals. Tell me again how this ties to Wallace, though. Because Wallace dated.

We're about to talk about him. Believe Esposile. The Argentinian future prime minister?

Correct. Diplomat at the time? Correct. And she, Wallace, didn't land him, but Courtney Louise Letts, big four number two, did. But that was her third husband because she has a history, whoa, before this.

So this is her and her girl gang.

Yes.

Which ties to the Argentinian ambassador or whatever.

Well, and so by the time we get to Geneva King, that is all Scott Fitzgerald,

which is really about Zelda in my world. But then number three is the Fairway Flapper. Whoa, y'all,

these stories are incredible. Today, number two, Courtney Louise Letts. She was born June 17th, 1899. Look at that. Happy birthday yesterday, Courtney Louise Letts. Lived a long life, April 7th, 1995. I'm reading her Wikipedia because that is what became fun. It's like, okay, what does the dumb thing on Wikipedia say? What else can you find out?
