From May of 2007, in a special feature from Vanity Fair, Dunne gives a little insight into his multi-decade friendship with Elizabeth Taylor including trashy tidbits about his last film Ash Wednesday, Richard Burton, Robert Evans, Michael Jackson, and jewelry.

    Mar 2 2026
    While filming The Boys in the Band in 1969, our man Nick moves to New York City and is beginning to live on the wild side – one that is very dangerous. There is a whole lot happening this year, in addition to Dunne’s dicey choices. The Manson Murders come in the summer – soon after Lenny reveals her MS diagnosis to the family. Folks noticing Dunne’s adoration of Frederick Combs is a highlight of this time, with a heartwarming attachment from Griffin Dunne connecting it all.

  • 287. Mart Crowley and The Boys in the Band

    287. Mart Crowley and The Boys in the Band
    Feb 23 2026
    In 1967, Mart Crowley wrote a groundbreaking work that no one, especially his friend Dominick Dunne, would have predicted success for at the time. However, The Boys in the Band took the theatre world by storm, soon to be followed by a film in 1970. This work's significance made an impact at the time, and only seemed to grow with its importance through the years. This episode covers the whole story - from writing, to production, to release - all of its actors and characters, one who was modeled after our own man Nick.

  • 286. Murder in Aspen | The Death of Spider Sabich and The Trial of Claudine Longet

    286. Murder in Aspen | The Death of Spider Sabich and The Trial of Claudine Longet
    Feb 9 2026
    Dominick Dunne never got around to writing about the murder of Olympic skier Vladimir “Spider” Sabich in 1976, but he devoted an episode of his 2002-2009 television series, Dominick Dunne’s Power, Privilege, and Justice, to the killing – and the mockery of a trial that followed. Spider, a popular fixture in the Aspen scene, was shot by his longtime live-in girlfriend, singer-actress Claudine Longet. This is approximately where the agreed-upon facts end. Alicia sets the stage and then takes us through the trial and its aftermath, where Longet’s Hollywood lawyer, paid for by her crooner ex-husband Andy Williams, fully overwhelmed the sleepy ski town’s police and prosecutors.
