For a while, it seemed like Shirley Jones had it all: a roaring career, a gorgeous, famous husband, and even an Academy Award. But away from the bright lights, Shirley's husband Jack Cassidy was growing more and more extreme in his behavior, until an unavoidable - and terrifying - breaking point brought their long marriage to an end.

Some people have all the luck, and at least when it comes to breakthroughs in show business, stage and screen legend Shirley Jones was certainly charmed. After somewhat accidentally - and also successfully - auditioning for Rodgers and Hammerstein, her career took off. It led her to an intoxicating love affair with the charming but not exactly faithful actor Jack Cassidy, who would become Shirley's ex-husband in 1975.

We covered the long and tumultuous relationship (and oh-so-brief marriage) of singer Miley Cyrus and actor Liam Hemsworth, but that was before we learned that Miley's parents, Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus - he of the Achy Breaky Heart - had themselves parted ways. It wasn't the biggest of shocks: by the time of the April 2022 announcement that they'd been separated for at least two years, Tish and Billy Ray had already had two divorce petitions withdrawn or dismissed. In the end, it seems, not everything was reconcilable.

We've covered the Kennedy family in some detail during the show's run, but like any sprawling dynasty, there's always more to explore! This week, Alicia brings us the back story of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of slain Attorney General and presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy. Let's just say that Bobby experienced a troubled youth, which was certainly not helped by the high profile murders his family was subjected to, or his family's effectively unlimited money and prestige.

Choosing a career in the arts is always risky, but it's not like Hollywood legend Buster Keaton had a choice. His parents, dreaming of Vaudeville success, had him on stage when he was still in diapers, and by the time he was five, young Buster was the family's breadwinner. As an artist, Buster would go on to be a pioneering filmmaker and a world-renowned comedian - as well as the ex-husband of one of America's most famous faces.
