In this episode, we explore the life and legend of Maxine Elliott, builder and operator of the most hopping spot on the French Riviera for decades, the Chateau de l ’Horizon.
A gathering spot for the famous and infamous, this home played host to many in its time – from political leaders to Hollywood stars to royalty. A few folks included in our cast this week: Lady Doris Castlerosse, Winston Churchill, Lady Diana Cooper, Daisy Fellowes, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Marlene Dietrich, Prince Aly Khan, the Kennedy family, and Elizabeth Taylor too!
