Only when she'd been locked inside a steamboat trunk for hours did impulsive Laurel Wentworth doubt the wisdom of her means of fleeing her dictatorial uncle. But after she pounded furiously and someone pried open the lid, the scheming blonde was ecstatic her escape was successful … until she gazed into the handsome, glowering visage of her rescuer. He yanked her from her confines, took outrageous liberties with her body, then surprised the living daylights out of her by kissing her with anger and passion. And before she could even begin to struggle, the spirited beauty was surrendering to the prison of his embrace! HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUTIOUS. Notorious Ruel Delaney was so single-minded about his illegal shipment of guns he didn't stop to think that the pretty bit of baggage he found in the ship's hold could be innocent. And she bore such an uncanny resemblance to the harlot who'd once betrayed him, the jet-haired scoundrel couldn't help but respond to her in the same way. He crushed her hurtfully, kissed her bruisingly … but as the unyielding strength of his body pinned her into submission, feelings of romance and protectiveness assailed the outraged rake. Casting aside his conscience, he gathered her tenderly into his arms, claiming her as his priceless treasure, possessing her as his SILVER MISTRESS. JFK Was with His Mistress When Jackie Gave Birth, Friend Carly Simon Says. The late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis revealed to her close friend Carly Simon that not only was she aware of husband John F. Kennedy‘s marital indiscretions, she was “unbothered” by them, Simon writes in new memoir Touched by the Sun: My Friendship with Jackie . The singer told NBC News in a candid interview this week that Onassis brought up sensitive topics involving both of her late husbands, President Kennedy and shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who both cheated on the the former first lady, Simon said. “She learned the fact that it didn’t necessarily mean anything more than ‘wham bam thank you ma’am,’ ” Simon told NBC News’ Cynthia McFadden, referring to Jackie sharing her reaction to Aristotle cheating on her with opera singer Maria Callas. In the book, Simon details how Jackie dealt with President Kennedy’s notorious wandering eye. “‘She was similarly unbothered by Jack’s affairs,’ ” McFadden said in her interview with Simon, quoting from the memoir. “‘In a cheerful but resigned way she told me that of course she knew about them. She just didn’t mind their presence as much as she might have, because she knew he [Kennedy] loved her much, much more than any of his dalliances.’ “ Simon told McFadden what did bother her friend, however. “I think that some of the things had more effect on her,” Simon said, adding, “For instance, his not being there for the birth of a child, his being off with a mistress while she was in the hospital. There are various things that he did that by comparison must have hurt more.” Simon was likely referring to 1956, when Jackie gave birth to a stillborn child while her husband was on a yacht with his mistress in the Mediterranean Sea “reluctant to return home quickly to his devastated wife,” according to The Washington Post . “With his cool detachment, he saw no reason to rush back — the baby was already lost.” In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Simon opened up about many facets of her unlikely friendship with Jackie, and how the “You’re So Vain” singer was at Jackie’s bedside as she lay dying at home in 1994. “I was holding her hand, telling her I loved her and saying goodbye,” Simon, 74, her voice quavering, told PEOPLE. “There was an otherworldly recording of monks singing, intermingled with sounds of uproarious laughter from the next room, where various Kennedys were having an Irish gathering. It was surreal.” Love cheat DUP MP sent woman 11,000 texts - and his firm sacked her husband. Universal Meat Company and family home of DUP David Simpson. Facebook Twitter Email. By Christopher Woodhouse. June 24 2019 08:50 AM. Facebook Twitter Email. LOVE cheat DUP MP David Simpson sent 11,000 text messages to his mistress Louise Templeton during their affair, Sunday Life can reveal. S ome of those texts are now at the centre of an employment dispute involving Louise's husband Andrew Wilson who has been sacked by the Simpsons' family meat firm where he worked as a sales executive. A close family friend of Louise and Andrew has told how the family's income has slumped from £100,000-a-year, with Louise now working part- time in a post office. Andrew Wilson was dismissed from the Universal Meat Company several days ago and is understood to be appealing the decision with the firm. DUP's David Simpson MP with his family, wife Elaine with their children, Leagh, Kristy (2nd from right), and Steven. Facebook Twitter Email. The family friend said Andrew was given the chop for sending some of the 11,000 texts the MP had sent to Louise to Simpson's wife Elaine. Elaine Simpson is one of the managing directors of the Universal Meat Company, which she and Simpson founded over 40 years ago. The friend said: "There were 11,000 text messages to Louise over the period leading up to the affair and obviously during the affair. "Andrew shared some of those with Elaine in April and it was following that they dismissed him on the basis of gross misconduct." It is understood he was dismissed for alleged gross misconduct and there is no suggestion the firm did not adhere to proper employment law guidelines in relation to Andrew Wilson's alleged conduct. Osmond Gurgan, one of the managing directors of the firm alongside Elaine Simpson, confirmed Mr Wilson had been sacked but declined to comment on the matter. He said it was an internal matter. Former DUP councillor Louise Templeton pictured with her husband Andrew Wilson. Facebook Twitter Email. Louise Templeton previously worked for Mr Simpson in his constituency office. But the friend said the MP told her it was not possible for them to work together after the affair was revealed. She was also a DUP councillor on Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council but the friend claims she was not told of a reselection meeting before last month's council elections. The family friend said:"There was personal hurt to the Simpson family but Louise's family also suffered that personal hurt. "The party didn't even write to tell her about the selection, they didn't even notify her that selection was happening. "They didn't even invite Louise to put her name forward. "She wouldn't have put her name in anyhow, not for fear of not being selected, she didn't believe the party would have selected her. Universal Meat Company and family home of DUP David Simpson. Facebook Twitter Email. "Louise has moved on with her life, but they had over £100,000 income into their home and now she's working part time in a post office for the minimum wage." The family's financial pressures are in part due to the alleged actions of Andrew Wilson. Sunday Life approached Mr Wilson about the matter but he said: "No comment." Sunday Life exposed Simpson and Templeton's love tryst in March last year but both have since reconciled with their respective spouses. Templeton later publicly apologised for cheating on her husband with Simpson, a devout Free Presbyterian and Orangeman who famously spoke out against a same-sex marriage bill in the House of Commons. "In the garden of Eden it was Adam and Eve, it wasn't Adam and Steve," he said. Simpson (60) has never said anything publicly about his affair with party colleague Louise but he did resign from the Orange Order and Royal Black Institution. He also signed over most of his shares in the meat wholesale company he founded with his wife in 1983 to her and their children. Elaine and David Simpson. Facebook Twitter Email. Simpson's son-in-law Aaron Gray previously told this newspaper his cheating had "devastated" the family as Templeton was considered a close friend of the family. "Louise made her public apology and she did so because she felt that it was right for her to do that," said the friend. "Those people had been her friends, Louise had let them down and she believed it was the right thing for her to do at that time but she came under so much criticism for that. "Louise did receive quite a number of texts from people saying it was very brave and appreciating what she had done given the fact that David (Simpson) has never apologised. "She took responsibility for her actions. as somebody said to her, he is a member of Her Majesty's Government and it's not appropriate." The friend added: "Louise went to work for David and Elaine Simpson when she was 18 years of age, all of her working life." In a letter to members of her constituency association, Templeton said last year: "For my part I accept responsibility for the pain and embarrassment that I have caused to families, elected colleagues and party friends and for this I offer my personal and most humble apology. "I will not attempt to try to excuse my behaviour but I believe I owe you this apology and an assurance that it will not happen again.

  • Mediacide: the Press's Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII
    ___________________________________________________________ Mediacide: the Press’s Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII Joel Grissom ___________________________________________________________ On December 10, 1936, a group of men entered the ornate drawing room of Fort Belvedere, the private get-away of His Majesty, King Edward VIII. The mood of the room was informal as the King sat at his desk. Fifteen documents lay before him ready for his signature. Briefly scanning them, he quickly affixed, Edward, RI, to the documents. He then relinquished his chair to his brother, Albert, Duke of York, who did the same. The process was repeated twice more as Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and George, Duke of Kent, also signed the documents. The King stepped outside and inhaled the fresh morning air.1 To the King it smelled of freedom. After months of battling with his Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, and the Prime Minister’s allies in the establishment and the press, Edward was laying down the crown in order to marry the woman he loved, an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson. The next day the newspaper headlines across the world would broadcast the news of the King’s unprecedented decision. With the signing of the Instrument of Abdication, Edward had signed away his throne. The newspapers in both the United States and the United Kingdom that would report the abdication had played a major role in bringing about the fall of the King. While the British media had observed a blackout during most of the crisis, the media in the United States had reported the story of the King and Mrs.

  • Agony and Ecstasy the Dramatic Life of Wallis Simpson
    Agony and Ecstasy The Dramatic Life of Wallis Simpson Avalon French “A women’s life can really be a succession of lives, each revolving around some emotionally compelling situation or challenge, and each marked off by some intense experience.” Wallis Simpson 1956 Adultery! Espionage! Gambling! Ménage a trios! Drug dealing! Fascism! Abortions! Sexual Domination! Nazi Sympathizing! These are but a few of the explosive rumors that plagued the notorious Wallis Simpson throughout her adventurous lifetime. Was this modestly attractive, middle class debutant from Baltimore capable of igniting all the intrigue for which she was accused or was she simply an unwitting ingénue whose life was characterized by epic upheaval? As a young girl with her nose pressed against the window of Baltimore’s elite upper class, Wallis Simpson longed for a life of luxury and fame. By 1936 she had exceeded even her own expectations. No longer a smaller player at the edge of society circles, Wallis took center stage as the American divorcee who captured the heart of England’s dashing prince and future king. While some saw her as the unlikely starlet of a fairytale romance, many others reviled her as a scheming opportunist who brought disgrace to England’s royal family and caused a constitutional crisis within the British government. By all accounts, Wallis Simpson remains one of the world’s most scandalous women. Wallis Simpson, born Bessie Wallis Warfield in 1895, grew up in Baltimore with her widowed mother and wealthy uncle. Wallis attended Oldfields School, paid for with her Uncle’s money. Oldfields was a private, all girls boarding school from which she 1 graduated in 1914.

  • 1202 the WOMAN BEFORE WALLIS Book Club Kit.Indd
    BEHIND THE BOOK Fur coats and beaded fringes. Champagne in coupes, held aloft by silk-gloved hands. Lipstick- stained laughter from across the room, drifting over the heads of black-tie dancers, poised in the moment before the music begins. The sights and sounds of the interwar period are familiar— irresistible, really—to those with a taste for glamour and an airy disregard for social stratification. Those are some of the qualities with which I imbued Thelma Morgan Furness, heroine in The Woman Before Wallis—and which I confess to share, to no small degree. Thelma is a creature of her time, limitless in her ambition yet boxed in by circumstance. She is, by all the measures of her world, successful—yet powerless when pitched against the true titans of high society. This is a book about power and belonging: how power is created, and ultimately wielded, both by those born to it and those who believe themselves immune to its thrall. I wrote The Woman Before Wallis while attending one of the UK’s powerful, old-world universities: as a middle-class “colonial” I shared Thelma’s sense of unbelonging, an outsider fascinated by the wealth around me. Champagne drinking games and beachside polo; weekly black-tie balls and scarlet academic robes. I asked the question that plagues Thelma throughout the whole of this novel: Do I truly belong here? As a women eclipsed by the world’s most enduring love story, Thelma was fascinating to me from the outset. Given what I already knew about Edward and his overbearing neediness, I had to wonder whether Thelma’s directive to Wallis (Take care of him) was truly a favour asked of a close friend—or whether she was giving Wallis implicit permission to pursue the world’s most powerful man.

  • Distribution Company Argentina
    Presenta SELECCIÓN OFICIAL VENECIA · TORONTO · LONDRES El Romance del Siglo (W.E.) Dirigida por Madonna Andrea Riseborough Abbie Cornish James D’Arcy Oscar Isaac SINOPSIS El Romance del Siglo, de Madonna, es un cuento apasionado y hermosamente elaborado acerca de la búsqueda del amor verdadero en el mundo moderno, visto a través del prisma de uno de los romances más fabulosos de la historia. El año es 1998 y en Manhattan se encuentra alborotada por la subasta de los bienes del Duque y la Duquesa de Windsor. Pero el remate es mucho más que una distracción para Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornisa), una chica sureña atrapada en un matrimonio infeliz y abusivo. Obnubilada por los exquisitos efectos personales de la pareja, Wally se obsesiona con la historia de amor de Wallis Simspon (Andrea Riseborough), la elegante y carismática estadounidense que capturó el corazón del Rey Eduardo VII (James D’Arcy). A medida que va conociendo los sacrificios que Wallis tuvo que realizar al elegir estar con Eduardo, Wally encuentra el coraje para seguir su propio corazón y así crear su propia felicidad. NOTAS DE PRODUCCIÓN La guionista y directora Madonna viene desarrollando la idea de El Romance del Siglo desde hace muchos años. Siempre había tenido una fascinación por el Duque y la Duquesa de Windsor, pero no le interesaba hacer una biopic convencional. En cambio, buscó capturar la esencia de su romance y transmitir su interpretación de una de las más grandes historias de amor del siglo veinte. “La verdad es subjetiva. Todo lo que tengo que decir sobre el Duque y la Duquesa viene de la conclusión a la que llegué luego de realizar toda mi investigación.

  • Profile: Wallis Simpson
    Profile: Wallis Simpson Edward's love for Wallis Simpson became an obsession By Chris Jones BBC News Profiles Unit As the Public Record Office releases more documents concerning the abdication of King Edward VIII, BBC News Online looks at the life of Wallis Simpson - the woman for whom he relinquished the throne. Bessie Wallis Warfield, as she was born in Baltimore, Maryland, was something of a misfit from the start. Her arrival in June, 1896, came just seven months after the marriage of her parents, causing some embarrassment to Warfield relatives for whom moral propriety was essential as the elite of Baltimore society. Bessie's father died when she was five months old and throughout her formative years, she and her mother had to rely on irregular handouts from a wealthy relative. Bessie discarded her first name - because "so many cows are called Bessie" - and learned how to flirt. But she was still shut out of the world she regarded as her birthright. Soon after the humiliation of "coming out" without the usual debutante's celebration ball, she grasped the first means of escape from Baltimore by becoming engaged. House party But her marriage to her first husband, Navy pilot Earl Winfield Spencer, was apparently a disaster from the start. Free after her first divorce in 1927 He turned out to be a moody alcoholic so Wallis left him, and after a passionate but short-lived affair with an Argentine diplomat, became a single woman again. Divorced, Wallis began an affair with a married man, Ernest Simpson, a British-American businessman.

This girl from Baltimore traveled the world, fell in love over and over again, and climbed to the top of one of the most prestigious social circles possible, into the arms of the Edward VIII, King of England. I will explore how Wallis Simpson was categorized through class and socioeconomic status in her early life, how she broke many preconceived gender roles of the era including reversal in relationship dominance, and other ways that her divorcee marital status affected public perception of her. I will explore these issues through the lens of newspapers from England and the United States, with a focus on how the views in the newspapers differ between the countries. III Story of the Romance that upset an Empire: An American Girl, Twice Married and Twice Divorced, Is the Cause of An Unprecedented Conflict. This is the story of King Edward VIII, of Wallis Warfield Simpson – and of the British Empire.
