In this edition of the VF Archive digest, we explore a wide variety of disasters, from the Titan sub implosion to the Kennedy family's reputation meltdown. Plus a dose of old Hollywood through the eyes of Bette Davis, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and more. |

In 1991, Willy Smith dragged the Kennedys into the grittiest tabloid blowout since Chappaquiddick, and sent the Kennedy damage-control machinery into overdrive. But could any of the principals be saved? Or would accusations of rape on a debauched Good Friday be the scandal that finally buried the myth of Camelot? Dominick Dunne reported on three generations of tragedy and trespass, and the twilight of America's First Family. |

With immortal roles in Jezebel, Dark Victory, and All About Eve, Bette Davis managed her career far better than her private life. In a series of exclusive interviews over the last decade before she died, the great screen icon talked about her four failed marriages, her daughter's tell-all book, and the man who got away. |
Though the world wouldn't catch on until disaster struck, a tight-knit community of seafarers, explorers, and bold submariners worried for years that Stockton Rush's OceanGate implosion was all but guaranteed. Susan Casey, author of The Underworld, reveals the hardest truths about the Titan. |
Auditioning actresses with Cary Grant. Christmas shopping with Ronald Colman. Trying to get Jimmy Stewart to trade up from a 15-year-old Volvo. As friend and colleague to three of Hollywood's most idolized stars, former producer William Frye shares his close-up memories of three very different men: their inimitable styles, their private quirks, and the women they married. |
Architect and interior designer Daniel Romualdez has worked for Diane von Furstenberg, Aerin Lauder, and Tory Burch, to name a few style setters, but the place everyone fell in love with is the simple, 1,730-square-foot Montauk retreat Romualdez shared with his investment-banker husband, Michael Meagher. Bob Colacello learned how the black sheep of a Filipino political dynasty (and Imelda Marcos's nephew) stuck to his own vision of the good life. |
