Everyone's Gone Fanny Mad - Fanny Murray 1751


Listen Later

How did eighteenth-century England's most desirable celebrity, become so successful she could literally afford to eat money?
With Fanny Murray 
It’s a scandalous tale of how a notorious courtesan in Georgian London transformed herself into a sex symbol and fashion icon.

  • What were her connections to The Hellfire Club
  • Why did ‘Beau’ Nash love potatoes?
  • Was she really “Fine but dirty”?
  • Did she ever sleep with royalty?

 Some of these questions will be answered in episode 2 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered, The Podcast of Bad Behaviour in Period Costume.
