Rebekah Harkness was not a middle-class divorcée when she met the heir to the Standard Oil. She was a divorcée, but middle-class? She was far from that. Rebekah grew up surrounded by wealth. She wanted for nothing. She would later leave an impact on the world of ballet, and she would do it as she blew through her late husband's money like it was nothing. Rebekah was never on to follow social norms. Rebekah's life was filled with money, luxury, art, and chaos.

Clara Bow longed to be an actress. She used the movies as a way to escape her horrible childhood. Clara lived her life the way she wanted to live, and not the way society thought she should. This made her an outcast and opened the door to criticism. All the criticism began ringing in Clara's head. Clara was running right into a breakdown.

Clara Bow was truly remarkable. She was an actress that dazzled people on and off of the screen. This episode dives into how she became the star that the world could not get enough of. She became the first "it girl", but it wasn't without scandal. Soon Clara became known for scandal just as much as she did her movies. She was a woman that lived on her own terms, and she made no apologies for it.

There are many adjectives that can be used to describe the Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. Though boring, predictable, and calm would not be the right ones to use. He was man that craved more of everything. A man that loved his antics. He is fellow Surrealist artists were not so in love with his stunts. And he would find that these stunts would turn the Surrealist art world against him.
