We hope you're sitting down for this one, because the story of Alma Mahler, "The Most Beautiful Woman in Vienna," is a REAL doozy. This episode has everything: art, music, sex, death, Nazis, literature, insanity, more Nazis... Julia paints a portrait of this Austrian lady who bewitched the most famous men of her day. And later, enjoy a quiz called "Gustav and Walter and Franz"!
