In this episode, we explore the life of high society grande dame Oatsie Charles. Her southern childhood and early life are connected through Santa Rosa and Montgomery, with a whole lot of eccentric family tales. We do have a Tallulah Bankhead connection as well, before we move onto Oatsie’s later years, where she partied it up in Georgetown and her Newport home, Land’s End. Connected to all the players in every era, including JFK, Ian Fleming, Katharine Graham, and Nancy Reagan too – Oatsie is a lady who is hard to forget.
