• The Gilded Age - The R...
We’ve got a successful architect with a history of doing things that he should not do. And a woman who married a rich man. Nothing scandalous there, except she was already sleeping with him while his first wife was sick and dying.
I’m talking about two characters we saw in season 1 of The Gilded Age who I’m sad to say will not be in season 2.
I didn’t want spoilers for myself for this season, but I had to check the IMDB page for the show because it made sense to me that by now, we would have seen the return of Stanford White and Sylvia Chamberlain. With Larry Russell’s architecture career taking off so quickly, I’m surprised that his mentor, Stanford White, isn’t in some of his scenes, giving a little guidance.
And with the money that Bertha Russell needs to raise for the new opera house, it seems like Sylvia Chamberlain might have made a good fit, or maybe she could have been a good friend to the old jezebel called Mrs. Blaine.
For whatever reason, neither character made it to the current season, but their real lives were so full of scandal that I hoped that the TV show would have explored them further.
Here are the stories of their real-life scandalous lives.
It's another Hot Mess History scandal from Ti. Your source for the hottest scandals from 1870 - 1940. Whether you are looking for scandals from The Gilded Age, The Titanic, or The Great Depression…you can find them on this channel.
Enjoy!

Great research! well, what a lot of filthy rich filthy ho's and ho' dogs, right???
Stanford White sounds too much like Stepford Wives. At least to me. That's just what rings through my brain every time you say that 😂
You truly are One Hot Mess 😅
i’m trying to get away from true crime…I AM SO HAPPY THAT I HAVE FOUND YOU!!!
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!! This history buff. LOVES YOUR WORK!!! Thank you!!!
omg same 🥹
Me too!!!
So am I 💯‼️
I'm not sure "The Gilded Age" could handle the true story of Arabella Huntington. Agnes van Rhijn would REALLY need her smelling salts after hearing about a woman like this!🔥
Her smelling salts....Hahahaha! I think that you are absolutely correct, Toni.
“The Girl on the Red Velvet Swing” movie from 1950’s really struck a chord in me when I saw it on AMC in the late 1980’s. I finally got the DVD about a month ago. It tells this story of Evelyn Nesbit (played by a young Joan Collins). I just watched PBS American Experience’s Gilded Age. This is wonderful. So glad your channel popped up as a suggestion. I was not even aware there is a series called Gilded Age. I will have to look for it.
The movie Ragtime (1981) is how I learned of Evelyn Nesbit. It's a great movie.
“Making her a scandal from sea to shining sea”. ❤ it. I’m among those not watching the gilded age… thanks for the history lesson. ☺️
Haha! She was a bi-coastal scandal. Thank you especially for watching my video since you are not watching the show. I'm glad that you're still getting something out of this.
Even though Arabella Huntington lead a scandalous life and was never considered acceptable by New York high society, she worked to improve herself and at one time was possibly the richest woman in America. She and her husband contributed to the Tuskegee Institute and her California home became the Huntington Art Gallery and museum.
You're right. She deserves more credit. She really accomplished some remarkable things.
Was she also responsible for the Huntington Hospital?
I was reading about how a Mr. Huntington had bought "Blue Boy" for his collection...which lead me down a rabbit hole and looking at the Huntington art gallery. It's all coming together! Btw... Huntington WV is named after the great RR baron.
The Huntington Library and Gardens are magnifent. The famous paintings Pinkie and Blue Boy are in the collection, along with other masterpieces. When my family lived in LA, we would go there all the time just to enjoy the grounds (especially the Shakespeare Herb Garden and the Rose Garden), attend their lectures and have high tea in the restaurant Arabella left an amazing legacy!
Hi Ti, I always enjoy nostalgia tea and scandals. This is very interesting and I look forward to seeing more of these episodes.
Hi! I'm so glad that you liked this. I'm working on a new video to bring you today. Thank you for watching!
"Ragtime" book and movie is about Stanford White, and other Edwardian characters. It was also James Cagney's last movie.
Thank you for the upload!
Hi! Thank you for giving another reference point. And thank you for watching!
I love Ragtime & James Cagney!
One of my favorite books as well as broadway musical.
I was in ragtime the musical twice and they simplify Evelyn's story so much! I love learning about the real people.. that poor girl
Great movie!
Love your channel! Visited The Huntington Library and Gardens recently. It was Arabella’s home and they gave it to the state of California almost 100 years ago. It’s beautiful and stately. Even after all this time. Great video ❤🎉
Hi! I remember that you visited The Huntington Library rather recently. You're making me want to go visit too! Thank you for watching!
To clarify, she did not fall in love with her abuser. That was a trauma bond. Heartbreaking 💔
Exactly
She thought she “was in love”, which is what all of us trauma bonded people think we feel…
@valentina6429 which we don't know until too long in 💔
YAAS! Tell us more tabloid scandals! Please and thank you so much!
I definitely will! I'll be working on scandals all year long. I should have a new one ready for you next week.
I always want to call you Tea cus you be serving it up HOT! Scalding hot!!! Love your channel and it's growing on me to the point I need the tea every day ❤
Messy mess people!! Thank you! Love your channel 🤩
I love history too and the gilded age is a very interesting period. You do a great job with your stories!
I love the gilded age stories. You're right...it really is an interesting period. Thank you so much for your compliment on my stories, Marcia!
I love history too! ❤
@@TisHotMessHistoryI need to watch it
For those who don't know, Evelyn Nesbit later admitted in a memoir that Stanford White did not drug her to take her virginity. She was underage, so he did statutorily rape her. Evelyn said she and Stanford drank that fateful night, but she never passed out. She continued to see the married Stanford for years. He was financially supporting not only Evelyn but her mother and putting her younger brother through school. He was also seeing other young actresses at that time, and his absences gave the equally dastardly Harry Thaw the opening to romance Evelyn away. She was in the midst of a very successful career as a model and actress. She gave up the stage to marry Thaw, but the marriage wasn't happy. First, her husband publicly murders White! Then there were the two scandalous trials in which Evelyn was forced to provide incredibly intimate, shocking testimony, and ultimately, some untrue statements about White, in order to provide a defense for her husband.There were other problems, like a hateful mother-in-law who never accepted her. And, as this video describes, Harry Thaw was definitely a *hot mess.* They divorced and I don't think she received much of a settlement. But she went back to her stage career, which declined significantly as she aged and began drinking. Thaw also spiraled down over the years after mental hospitals and a later scandal that came to light when he was accused of whipping a young man.
This is all discussed in a very interesting biography on Nesbit I read several years ago, called "American Eve."
Yes I read that as well and Thor went totally mad !,
The Broadway musical "Ragtime" has Evelyn Nesbit in it as a supporting role, she sings about Standord White in her song "The Crime of the Century," and I literally just put together that this is who she was talking about and that he was in the Gilded Age too! Aha light bulb moment! Love this channel, glad I found you!❤
Loved seeing you dressed up and the context you've given!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!
Thank you again for an excellent historical perspective on these fictional characters. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank YOU for watching. I just love that the show is putting a lot of real people in the show and I want to be sure to share their stories. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Thank you for such a interesting article, hope you are well love Kim from Nottingham England, your channel is better than watching TV xx
Ti! I just found your channel and I have to tell you I so appreciate it! I especially love that you give your sources at the end of each video, at least those I’ve watched thus far. I only started watching your channel this morning in the wee dark watches of the night, and I’ve already referred you and your channel to someone else. Again thank you so very much for being a true historian, even if you do tend to focus on that which we all find most fascinating: what were those people getting up to?
Hi ComshawQueen! Thank you so much for giving my channel a try. I'm sure that I have a handful of videos on the channel in which I did not list my sources, but I make it a point to do that so that people can fact check me and even do their own further research. Thank you so much for spreading the word about my channel. That means a lot to me. And yes, I like to focus on the messy, sloppy parts of history that didn't make it into the history books. I just want for people to have fun when they come here.
This was very informative and entertaining!❤
Thank you so much! I'm a native Texan too!
If you remember in Southern California stop by the Huntington Library. You won't be disappointed. Lots of Hollywood movies were filmed in their gardens and they have a treasure trove of interesting historical documents and art too! Interesting to learn about the Huntington's. great post, ty!
I do plan on visiting one day. The photos look amazing and I'm sure that they don't do it justice. Thank you for watching!
Love seeing your face as you narrate these stories. Your friendly and sincere demeanor is part of what keeps me so engaged.
Hi Darrell! Thank you so much. I go back and forth with the idea of getting on camera or not getting on camera. I think that being on camera takes away from the documentary feel of the videos. I have a new idea in mind that I'll try in a couple of months. I plan to start coming on camera at the end of each video. I appreciate your kind words.
How have I only just found you? I’m laid up with a severe back problem, so today I’ve binged on your videos! Thank you, they are brilliant & your voice is like velvet , you make it easy to watch and listen 👍👍
Hi Mrs Nobby! My channel has been around for a few years, but I have only somewhat recently started covering topics like this. Maybe that's why you're just now finding me. But whatever the reason, I'm so glad that you gave my channel a try. Thank YOU! I hope that your back feels well as soon as possible.
Thank you for your very kind compliments on my work.
Having visited the Huntington Library many times, it's grandeur is breathtaking and I have yet to walk the entire grounds because there's so much to discover. Thank you for the insight as it deepened my appreciation for the museum. I recently discovered your channel & love the inflection of your voice.
Hi Sophie Lynn. The Huntington Library looks so beautiful, but you know more about it than I do. I have only seen photos. I have it on my list of places to visit. Thank you so much for giving my channel a try, and thank you for your kind words.
I love to hear as LL these stories. You tell these stories so great. Thank you very much. 😊
Hi Nina! I'm so glad that you enjoy these stories. Thank you for your kind words and for checking out my channel!
Actually Arabella sounds like a fascinating woman!!! A woman who was savvy & knew how to make money! Probably made her very attractive to men!
I totally agree. She sounds like she was super smart!
This was excellent. Well done!
Thank you for the compliment. Thank you for watching!
Your voice is as beautiful as you are! I love your channel and these fascinating people. They seem to be just as messed up as some of us are today😉
Have a Happy Turkey Day Ti! 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving Island Girl! Thank you for coming to the premiere!
I love your presentation. You are sharp and so "elegantly irreverent" if that makes sense. It's hard to explain but so unique. When my daughter told me she loved your content and thought I would, too, I told her I'd been following for awhile! 😊 Anyway, I hope you keep producing.
Hi Voya! Thank you for your very kind words! I'm honored to know that you and your daughter watch my channel. I will definitely keep producing content. I'm working on a Titanic first-class passenger scandal that I will have ready for you later this month. Have a fantastic weekend!
Happy Thanksgiving Ti 🦃❤️🍁
I love your scandal history! Best of them all!
Thank you so very much! I truly appreciate your compliment and your support of my content!
I live in Huntington. Collis P’s eponymous city. Even when Huntington was first established, there was a prominent brothel facing the railroad tracks. One of his favorite courtesans owned it and was evidently free to do as she wished between her visits with him. The fact that Collis was a grifting liar and his most famous mistress was a scheming greedy climber, seems prosaically apropos.
And yes…please relate the rest of the scandal! You’ve left me wanting more lol. Oh, how I shall speak of this at work😀
Your videos are better than any soap opera 😄👍🇮🇪
Exactly
Thank you so much! I really enjoy putting them together for you all.
Have shared you with my friend,... You'll have a little group of Irish followers now 😊👍🇮🇪
Thank you so much for sharing @@SmilerORocker! I love Irish people!
This was very interesting. Thanks!
Thank YOU for watching!
Love, love, love this! I’d also love to hear a little about the wealthy Dutch settlers who were the Gilded Age elites during that time even if they were boring lives I still find it so interesting 😊
Hi Jewel! After this year wraps up, I will eventually go back a little further in time with people from those families. My basic plan going forward is to rotate three topics - The Gilded Age, Titanic passenger stories, and the Harlem Renaissance. I'm so glad that you loved this. Thank you for watching!
@@TisHotMessHistory I’ve never heard of Harlem resistance I’ll have to check your other videos out, sounds amazing! Titanic stories too!!
@@JuliahistoryLover if you're familiar with people like Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday, then you already know something about the Harlem Renaissance and maybe you just don't know it by its name. I am so looking forward to getting back to the Titanic stories!
You might like the book New York by Edward Rutherfurd fiction but really interesting and untwines factual time lines.
@@RH-cp6xw I love those kinds of books! Thanks for the tip!!
My dad's mother was born in 1902 and it's fun to hear about the scandals that were going on when she was a girl. Her husband, Dad's father, was born in 1895.
I think about these stories in those terms too - when certain relatives would have been alive. Thinking of it that way lets me know that people from that generation pretended to be a lot more wholesome than they were. Thank you for watching!
I live in WV. Arabella’s second husband was her nephew by marriage. (Henry E. was Collis’ nephew). Collis built Henry a house in St. Albans, WV named “The Beeches”. It still stands on Kanawha Terrace and is also known as the Huntington-Skinner House.
Arabella’s son Archer, married famed sculptress Anna Hyatt Huntington. They were a philanthropic couple and founded Brookgreen Gardens near Myrtle Beach SC. It’s a beautiful place!
Oh my, even in our modern times those acts are scandalous. I wonder if they will stay the same even after another 100 years.
Yes, the tabloid scandal, please!
I will get that one out for you. I have a lot of catching up to do.
Thank you. Your lecture was fascinating.
Thank YOU for watching. Thank you for your compliment.
Fun fact: you can see the scandalous statue of Diana at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Very well done! Detail I didn't know but thoroughly enjoyed ❤ Want to learn more!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I have much for to share with you.
Great googly moogly girl you ate this video and the tea was HOT AF 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much, Kyla! I'm working on the first Oscar Wilde video to get out today. I'm glad that you enjoyed this one.
These are great, love it. Love tying all the places, people and lives together. I watch the gilded age and am relating to all of it because I grew up in New Jersey and NYC, so I had exposure and knowledge of most of this historical figures. Also lived in Denver, CO and knew about the silver kings of Colorado during the gilded age. What I deduced from this video because I also live in California was that not only was Mr Huntington a railroad robber baron, but that Huntington Beach was named after him. will comment more later, but if you want to do stories about the silver kings of CO, start with Horace and Augusta Tabor, also Baby Doe Tabor, who became Horace love interest in a love triangle SIMILAR TO Mrs. HUNTINGTON/CHAMBERLAIAN'S story. Women from that era were scorned . I was writing a screenplay so I did a vast amount of research about these people circa 1850-1929
I'm with you. I love how the show mixes in reality in their fictional world and it's fun learning about all of the real stuff. I have Horace Tabor on my list of people to cover. Your screenplay sounds interesting.
The bar The Big Four still exists in San Francisco. It was usually hard to get a reservation for the place.
That's cool that a bar still exists with that name. What's it like?
@TisHotMessHistory It's got lots of dark wood paneling. It's perched on Nob Hill. Not too far from the Mark Hopkins hotel. Overlooks the city in the SOMA direction.
@@TisHotMessHistory The Big Four is a restaurant, not a bar. It only dates back to about the 1980s. It's located in the 1920s Huntington hotel which is across the street from where the Huntington's mansion once stood (which perished in the 1906 San Francisco fire).
Listen to those scandals I was thinking on my own how many other stories should had happened at that period and that we never will hear about for they are hidden or unknown.
I'm sure that there are MANY stories that we will just never know.
Great job.
Thank you so much, Lee!
Woo hoo, thank you Ti ❤
Thank YOU for watching, Lisa!
@@TisHotMessHistoryMy pleasure ,I love, love your channel so much!
@lisafranklin9089 thank you so very much. I'm working on new content for you to get out this week.
I am so happy to find this. Well done.
Hi Kathy! Thank you so much for giving my channel a try, and for your compliment.
Your interpretation and delivery are hilarious. 😄
I think we discount how huge newspapers were. News was news. Reporters had to hunt down stories and the prose .....
Another Great Video!
Thank you, Tarnika!
Love your research!
Hi Toni! Thank you so much! That is my favorite part of making these videos. Thank you for giving my channel a try!
Hi Ti ❤❤❤
Hi Joanne! Thank you for coming to the premiere!
Great story. Well done.
(Btw, the blouse you’re wearing is stunning👏)
YES YES I WANNA HEAR ABOUT Arabella Huntingtons tabloid scandal.
Really enjoyed this video. I read about Evelyn Nesbit about the awhile ago. As for the velvet swing Stanford White had set up ..... I'll leave that part alone😉.
I am looking forward to bringing you Arabella's tabloid scandal. I have a lot planned for next year.
Im here to say exactly that!! Please please if you could do a video about her tabloid scandal! Also, thank you for telling us about it so we can look it up if you don't have the chance to cover it in a video ❤
Ti - you have ruined me for other storytellers. I really admire your research and you definitely have the gift of storytelling.
Love your video.
Whoops! 😬 Arrabella was double dipping in the inheritance department! 😅
I like the side by sides where we can see the face behind the voice. 😊
Hi! I'll probably start doing this a little more often in March or April. At the very least I'll come on camera at the end of the video. I feel like I'm taking away from the documentary-feel by coming on camera. But I know that there are people like you, who perhaps feel a bit more connected by seeing the face of the narrator. I'll have to figure out the right balance. Thank you for your feedback.
Geez Ti…. You have an amazing voice. Obviously, very smart but also really pretty.
Were these characters in the movie Ragtime?
And just to cover myself here, “none are so forgiven as the rich.” My own quote but so true.
I think this particular social philosophy sums it up: “Doesn’t matter to me how you get the money as long as you make “my” life better. My less fortunate neighbor down the road shouldn’t expect such grace.”😑
Love your channel! And you are gorgeous. I love your blouse
HI Adriana! Thank you so much for your kind words. Thank you for giving my channel a try.
Very interesting. And you are a lovely woman.
Thank you so much.
Love your videos. It made me chuckle, “show you I’m a real girl!” Haha She real!! 🎉 not a puppet
I enjoyed this!
Arabella was strikingly beautiful! 🤩 ❤❤❤❤❤
Raiding falling down European homes is surely a clue to his character. I watch the show and have heard of these types of furnishings described by you...just flash the money. So American of him. (He may have "saved" a few families for all I know). That just makes me ill...
She was the Girl in the Red Velvet Swing.😢
True.
From what I gather Stanford White had a load of underage gals in that swing‼️
Oooooooo yeah
Poor son ! 😢
This was a wonderful and interesting video. This is the kind of info that shows the humanity of people. Sex, love and money ARE realities of life on this planet. So much real life is covered up OR not discussed. When I taught history, this was the stuff the students enjoyed hearing about. It made the people REAL. The Gilded Age is a fascinating period to study on many levels.
You are a beautiful historian and it was lovely to see the voice behind the camera. Many blessings in 2024 and keep up the good work making history a story of life!! 💯👍🏾😊
LATTER DAY SAINTS research says Arabella Durall Huntington was born 1 June 1858.
Eveline was soooo beautiful, poor girl, she suffered a lot.
That’s funny! 😄 Fake maps to inflate your building expenses! 😅
So interesting!
Thank you so much, Tanya!
@Arabell. Her scandal prevention plan does not work.
I wish I could hear this one well, the audios a lil off. Im at work so its a lil too much to be able to hear. 😢
I'll have to go find me another one. 🙂
I'm so sorry. If you check out my newer videos (since December) I'm sure that you will hear a better audio quality. Thank you for listening at work!
I love hearing about the guilded ages
Her son has Collis’s profile! 😅
Yep back even in those times men cheated on thier wife's and as women cheated on thier husband's so sad even in up in murder one another sad story just like in today's world
Very true. Times really haven't changed that much.
Wives cheating on their husbands was very uncommon especially pertaining to the elites
Thank you. Well donr.
Hi Marilyn. Thank you so much!
Also, tho I may be wrong, I doubt that Arabella was motivated by her humanitarian altruism when she decided to “date” old Collis P. I would venture to say that her altruism may have been the salve she used to nurse her guilty conscience. When you’ve bought every conceivable thing money can buy and start to get bored, I guess the only thing left to do is to share with the unwashed masses…that is, as long as you get the credit. Respect is expensive but it can be bought and she certainly had the funds.
What about the medical and bathroom staff n cooking n laundry stuff
I like Arrabella! She really made something out of herself! 😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where is ur background music??
That feel when you didn't get a chance to live in the Gilded Age and to chase millionaire men. :(
effing a holes keep doing it! this story is exactly now
So true!
Really interesting!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Barbara Cowdery! Thank you so much for watching!
I love the Gilded age Era
And Edwardian
Me too!
@@TisHotMessHistory check out the Forsyth Saga
Its a novel written in Edwardian
About the charge from Victorian to Edwardian
Its been made into a series by BBC
but i highly recommended the series.
I loved the "Forsyth Saga" so interesting and very good characters and stars to portray them...watched it several time. Outstanding show!!
@Arabella. Did D Gasby know of Arabella? 😟
I’m getting such great history lessons here. I’ve been to the Huntington library, it’s beautiful and so are the gardens. They do a English tea there.
“Tabloid scandal” sounds so juicy.
I grew up in Huntington WV.....named after Collis Huntington
Wow. That's right! My mind always just goes to Huntington Beach.
What show are you talking about. i would love to see it.
GOT IT… The gilded age
How did Arabella Huntington not beyond the Titanic
Guy sounds just like the house and congress now days….
Stanford White was BiPolar Manic as hell.
