Full text of narration for the hearing impaired and those who wish to watch in an environment where silence is required. This has always been a standard in my videos. www.patreon.com/ObsoleteOddity (1) Strange Crimes - The Comic Book Killer Len Lawson had at all, he was a well-known Australian cartoonist much loved by his avid fans, he was earning far in excess of the average Australian worker, and many other cartoon artists were envious of him – he had a beautiful wife, three children and was paying off a new home and car… Unfortunately something was not right with Len, young women triggered, in his own words, “a monster within him”. To all outward appearances Len was a pillar of society, but to the young women who encountered his other side, an insatiable Demon revealed itself. Join me as we uncover one of the strangest cases in the annals of Australian crime. (2) The Dolly Sisters - Mirror Magic and the Final Dance In this episode we follow the journey of twin sisters Roszika and Yansci from their village in Hungary to their arrival in Brooklyn New York aged 5 - and their career beginnings aged just 13, already dancing and acting for the public. After being discovered by Florenz Ziegfeld, their journey to stardom and amazing riches would just begin. They quickly wooed the public with their identical costumes and mirror image dancing. The Dolly sisters could never have envisaged the amazing life ahead of them, they were courted by the richest men around the world, who spent millions on them – their immense jewellery collection was the envy of every woman. But my dear friends, just as the fates can gild and burnish, they can also tarnish – just like any roller-coaster ride, what goes up must come down – and tragedy was awaiting… (3) Jean Patou - The Designer Coco Chanel Feared In this episode we enter the world of fashion, 1920s fashion to be exact. After the Great War, women were ready to let their hair down again…or cut it into a stylish bob. They had money to spend and they wanted smart clothes to go with a fashionable new decade. A perfect opportunity for innovative new designers to step up to the plate. Jean Patou and Coco Chanel we’re ready to supply the demand. We explore the animosity between Chanel and Patou, and follow their quest to dominate the lucrative American market.
