In this crossover arc, we explore the fact and the fiction about The Shooting of the Century. It is October 30, 1955 that William Woodward, Jr. was shot to death by his wife Ann. Dunne wrote 1985’s The Two Mrs. Grenvilles as a thinly veiled fictional account of the whole sordid tale, which landed right in the sweet spot of his interest in high society’s perfidy.

The Grimaldi family was considered scandalous enough in Queen Victoria’s time that she forbade any of her close relatives to marry into it, leading Prince Albert I of Monaco to marry an American heiress in 1889 – a precedent that would matter decades later when Prince Rainier III, urged on by none other than shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, began interviewing Hollywood A-listers for a very special role: Princess of Monaco.

The House of Grimaldi has ruled the tiny principality of Monaco since January 8, 1297, when Francois “The Spiteful” Grimaldi disguised himself as a monk and knocked on his uncle’s castle door, launching a coup. In the violence that followed, according to legend, a woman – possibly a lover of Francois, possibly a witch he had wronged (can’t it be both?) – issued a curse that has resonated across the centuries: “Never will a Grimaldi find true happiness in marriage.”

Today we get into the truly breathtaking story of Shia LaBeouf, who appears to split his time between being an actor and being a one-man crime wave, as well as (allegedly) a domestic abuser. He and his wife Mia Goth - and the timeline there is pretty wild, too - have recently split, while Shia himself seems to be occupying himself with all manner of poor, even criminal, behavior.
