Episode 30 - Rockefeller

Hello fans! This episode tells the story of Winthrop Rockefeller, grandson of the wealthiest man in modern history (John D. Rockefeller) and Governor of Arkansas from 1967 to 1971. Coming from a lot of money, Winthrop was also a war veteran, and in the late 1940s he was considered America’s most eligible bachelor. His highly publicised wedding to actress and model Jievute “Bobo” Paulekiute was soon eclipsed by their highly publicised divorce. Historian Janet Harris from the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute in Arkansas joins us to explain how there was so much more to Winthrop than what appeared in the tabloids, however, including his tireless work to improve the lives of the poorest people in Arkansas.Remember to like and subscribe!
