A deeply personal tragedy, and a horrific crime, accelerates Dominick’s transition into a warrior for justice. In a combination of previous episodes from our podcast investigation, we meet Dominique Dunne, the beloved California child of Nick and Lenny, whose murder at the hands of her ex-boyfriend in 1982 was chronicled for Vanity Fair in her grieving father’s own words.
We have certain underlying assumptions about how the criminal justice works, and how the courtroom will treat the grieving family of a murder victim. Nick sure did, until it was his family gathered in a Los Angeles courthouse, watching a grave miscarriage of justice play out as the man who murdered his daughter Dominique stood trial.
It was a wrenching crime followed by an appalling miscarriage of justice, chronicled by none other than the grieving father of the victim. Alicia takes us through the trial of the man who strangled Dominique Dunne to death, presided over by a self-serving judge with a soft spot for the defense team, with a verdict rendered by a jury which was not allowed to hear key evidence as it debated lesser charges than the prosecution wanted.

This week, we jump tracks ever so slightly to focus on another infamous crime in Beverly Hills. The Menendez boys are learning by watching the early 1980’s poster boy of crime, Joe Hunt, and his BBC. The Billionaire Boys Club, a nickname that became its moniker, might have started out with all the best intentions, but soon turns into a crime spree that will set the tone for so much to come.

This week, we open a whole new investigation into the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez, at the hands on their sons, Lyle and Erik. The grisly crime committed in Beverly Hills on August 20, 1989, was extensively covered by Dominick Dunne, over the course of a number of years. In this episode, we begin at the very start, by exploring Dunne’s initial coverage from October 1990. His “Nightmare on Elm Drive” is an excellent baseline for the case, still in early days, before the years make the details far murkier.

We are taking a voyage this week with Dominick Dunne, who is attending the 60th birthday party bash of Colin Tennant, 3rd Baron Glenconner at the end of 1986. Colin had a great party the decade before and Princess Margaret is no stranger to the party time hedonistic time happening on the island. Dunne attends this celebration, but this is not Nick’s first introduction to Princess Margaret.
In the first part of this getaway episode, we explore Dunne’s previous relationship with Princess Margaret, fill in a bit of backstory on her land and home in Mustique, and get to the boat, right on time, for Colin’s party. It truly is a family affair.

When Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926, there were years of her childhood that were, compared to other future monarchs, quite normal. After all, she was never supposed to be the Queen. Her father was a second son; her Uncle David would succeed her grandfather, and certainly other male children would come along.
And then, in 1930, Elizabeth's parents waited with anticipation to find out the gender of Elizabeth's impending sibling. A boy would be in the line of succession. But the child who arrived was Princess Margaret, who was never supposed to be the daughter and sister of Queens herself, but for the fateful choice her Uncle David would make when Margaret was just six, when everything changed.
This episode follows Margaret through a tumultuous childhood, an early doomed romance, and her long, if ill-fated marriage to Antony Armstrong-Jones, eventually the Earl of Snowden. We visit Mustique, the Caribbean island where Margaret's only personal land holdings resided, and meet some of the guests she entertained there. Plus, an assortment of stories about the social life of a notoriously difficult Princess - and why hanging with Margaret wasn't everything it was cracked up to be.
It is all going to come back around on your next Dunne Day with Nick's coverage of this Trashy Royal - this is the foundation!

In this episode, we take Dominick Dunne through many decades of his turbulent career, and get our man Nick redeemed in the Hollywood scene in the mid-1990s. Dunne knew the Bloomingdales and the Reagans socially back in his Hollywood halcyon days in the 1960s, but was most certainly booted out of their circle by his 1970s downfall.
With the publication of his 1984 coverage on the murder of Vicki Morgan, and his subsequent roman a clef An Inconvenient Woman, many folks would not have anticipated that Dunne would get back into the good graces of the West Coast Queens, Betsy Bloomingdale and Nancy Reagan. Dunne does that, and so much more.
Included in this episode are so many familiar characters from our ongoing investigation, and a few new characters too, including Jerry Zipkin, Heidi Fleiss, Alfredo de la Vega, Marcia Clark, Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson and his chimpanzee too.

In this week’s episode, we take a journey to the second criminal case Dominick Dunne covered in his reporting for Vanity Fair. When Vicki Morgan was murdered in July 1983, it sent shockwaves through the political upper crust, as Vicki was the mistress of Alfred Bloomingdale, connected into the Reagan administration through the decades. Dominick Dunne was there for the June 1984 trial of Vicki’s murderer, Marvin Pancoast, who was found guilty of murder in the first degree, but not everyone believed the story as it was presented on the surface.

It's a double-up week here on Done and Dunne! In this first drop, we travel to the California home of Joanne Carson where Truman Capote spent his last days in August of 1984, forty years ago.
Truman, infamous writer and collector of Swans, has some pretty epic stories in his last months, as told by his friends before his passing on August 25. Then, we drop in on Truman’s first memorial service with mourners attached to Dominick Dunne in so any ways, including John Gregory Dunne, Joan Didion, Carol Marcus Matthau, Robert Blake, Artie Shaw and Christopher Isherwood.
It's a whole hot mess, that leads into tomorrow's drop. There is always an investigation around this place.

It is off to Old Hollywood this week, with the life and death of Roddy McDowall. Dominick Dunne was involved in both, and does he give a wonderful profile of his friend at this time of his passing in 1998.
Roddy – legendary in Hollywood, not only for his prolific acting career, but also his photographs and very famous friendships. Roddy was the best friend you could ever want – just ask Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, Jane Fonda, Tuesday Weld, or our man Nick.

This week, we are taking a little detour into the past in our investigation with a Not Dunne Yet bonus episode from many moons ago. Dominick Dunne really did interact with so many characters in his various acts, and this week we take our man Nick connecting a whole throughline of folks you might not know were connected. From Elaine Young to Gig Young to Eugene Landy, with Brian Wilson on the side, back to Elizabeth Montgomery – and an added Cliff Robertson mention too. So many spiderwebs in this one that pull so much together.

Alicia is back from NYC with the stars of Broadway in her eyes. It seemed the perfect week to investigate Dominick Dunne's squad of best friends that include Howard Erskine, Charles Hollerith Jr., and Stephen Sondheim! These chums go all the way back to the late 1940s in their Williams College days, and what a life well led for each individual. But together - their lifelong friendship was truly spectacular.

In this episode of Done and Dunne, we take our man Nick to London in 2002 to report in
on the trial of Paul Burrell, the royal butler who knows all Diana’s secrets. The Diana in question is, of course, Princess of Wales. Dunne reports in on this trial of the most loyal servant ever, which is halted after 11 days, right before Paul’s appearance on the stand. Why the delay at The Old Bailey? Why, of course, Queen Elizabeth II steps in with late-breaking testimony about an important conversation from years before that will change the whole narrative in her Jubilee
year.
