I Just Watched “Charles Dickens: Tale of Ambition and Genius”| Full Documentary | Biography

After they met, however, he did not like what he saw… and dismissed her from his life. In his novel, “Little Dorrit”, he based the character Flora Finchet on the...

He had a lot of trouble finding permanent, long term workers. The turnover rate got so high that he had to hire 1000 people for 100 jobs. He was involved in international politics. He bought out all of his shareholders and as someone on the...

I Just Watched “Eleanor Roosevelt: Former First Lady with a Restless Spirit | Full Documentary | Biography” on YouTube

This came out in 1994 on the “Biography” Channel. I did not know much about Elanor Roosevelt until I watched this… She lived a separate life from her husband and let him be with his long term mistress. She was a devoted social advocate who rallied for John F. Kennedy before she died. I found it interesting that she outlived (by many years) her husband and his mistress. She died in 1962 in New York City, where she...
