Gilded Age Gossip: Murder, Mayhem & Millionaire Meltdowns!
This HBO series 'The Gilded Age' brilliantly blends history with drama — starring figures like Alva Vanderbilt, who is 'hunger and determination' personified, and George Russell aka 'Railroad Daddy,' a cutthroat tycoon modeled after Jay Gould, 'ruthless, unscrupulous, and friendless to the end.' From nasty aristocratic divorces to social climbing and party-throwing queens, viewers get a juicy backstage pass into a time when billionaires flexed so hard they created the term 'robber baron.' Above all, gladys and her ill-fated duke remind us: Family drama never goes out of style!
