This episode is a special profile of the great survivor of the collapse of the career of John Jenrette. It is the story of his ex-wife Rita Jenrette. She has led a life no novelist would have dared to create. She was married to a charismatic Congressman who self destructed in front of the country, posed in Playboy Magazine, wrote a tell all book, became a B-Movie actress, then a tabloid reporter for "A Current Affair", then got her Real Estate and commodities license and had an enormously successful career in New York City doing mega millions deals with the likes of Donald Trump.
Only to walk away on the arm of a real life Prince and move to his palatial Villa in Rome, Italy. Where she helped renovate the historic estate that featured actual art work from Michelangelo among other historically significant artists of history.
You just can't make this stuff up. So we will just tell this unbelievable part of the story in this episode.
We also want to thank a special friend for loaning us her acting and reading skills for this episode. I think we are all happier our host Randal Wallace did not attempt to read Rita Jenrette's portion of The Diary of a Mad Congressman's Wife himself. We were lucky to find an extraordinary talent to do that for us. Though she asked not to be named.
