While we work on some new Even the Rich episodes, check out these episodes from our other show, Even the Royals. They’re all about the ultimate Hollywood Royalty: Grace Kelly and her daughter, Stephanie.

Grace Kelly was a Hollywood icon in the 1950s. She worked with legends like Clark Gable and Alfred Hitchcock and only left when it was time to marry a real-life prince. She seemed to live the ultimately fairy tale life, but it came at a price – she fit herself into the box of perfection only to find herself trapped there. In part one of this two-part series Grace is a young girl in an unloving family who dreams of being a star. But Tinseltown demands the best, so if Grace wants leading roles – and an Oscar – she’ll have to turn herself into a flawless leading lady. No matter what it may cost her.

During a two-parter that Ariana Grande did for Penn Badgley’s “Podcrushed” podcast, she opened up a huge can of worms. The “You” star asked Ari all about her new album, “Eternal Sunshine” and about playing Glinda in the upcoming “Wicked” movie. Good so far, right? Then the conversation shifted, and Ariana admitted that she had a fascination with notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and that once she even told a young fan that he was her dream dinner guest. Now, Ari’s getting universally crushed for her tone-deaf comments, including from the mother of one of Dahmer’s victims. Safe to say this isn’t one of Ari’s finest moments.

Marilyn Monroe was an unrecognized feminist pioneer before her time. Nearly 70 years before #MeToo, she penned an expose about her experiences with “the casting couch” called “Wolves I Have Known.” In the final episode of our Marilyn Monroe series, we delve into the parts of Marilyn’s life that no one talks about.
