누가 윌리엄 랜돌프 허스트와 데이트 했나요?

윌리엄 랜돌프 허스트(William Randolph Hearst I, 1863년 4월 29일 ~ 1951년 8월 14일)는 미국의 언론및 출판사 사주로 자수성가한 백만장자 조지 허스트의 아들이다.

미국 캘리포니아주 샌프란시스코 출생으로 하버드 대학을 중퇴하고 1887년 아버지가 소유하던 《이그재미너》를 경영하면서 신문계에 진출했다. 1895년 뉴욕의 《모닝 저널》을 인수해 《저널 아메리칸》으로 바꾸고 또 다른 신문왕 조셉 퓰리처의 《월드》와 경쟁했다.

신문자 《뉴욕 저널》(New York Journal)의 사주를 하면서 행동 저널리즘이라는 아이디어를 통해서 스스로 뉴스를 생산하고 기사화하는 방법을 고안하였으며, 1895년 미국-스페인 전쟁을 부추기는 기사를 선정적으로 게재하여 전쟁을 촉발시키기도 하였다.

이후 미국 17개 도시에서 일간시를 매수 및 창간하고 INS 통신사와 출판사, 3개 방송국을 자기 손에 두어 거대한 언론 제국을 평성하였고 조셉 퓰리처와 함께 옐로저널리즘(황색저널리즘)의 기수로 평가받고 있다.

한때 천재 감독 오손 웰스의 영화 〈시민 케인〉에서 풍자되기도 했으며 미국 캘리포니아주에는 그가 건설한 거대한 허스트 캐슬이 자리잡고 있다.

Marion Davies (born Marion Cecilia Douras; January 3, 1897 – September 22, 1961) was an American actress, producer, screenwriter, and philanthropist. Educated in a religious convent, Davies left the school to pursue a career as a chorus girl. As a teenager, she appeared in several Broadway musicals and one film, Runaway Romany (1917). She soon became a featured performer in the Ziegfeld Follies. While performing in the 1916 Follies, the nineteen-year-old Marion met the fifty-three-year-old newspaper tycoon, William Randolph Hearst, and became his mistress. Hearst took over management of Davies' career and promoted her as a film actress.

Hearst financed Davies’ pictures and promoted her career extensively in his newspapers and Hearst newsreels. He founded Cosmopolitan Pictures to produce her films. By 1924, Davies was the number one female box office star in Hollywood because of the popularity of When Knighthood Was in Flower and Little Old New York, which were among the biggest box-office hits of their respective years. During the zenith of the Jazz Age, Davies became renowned as the hostess of lavish soirees for Hollywood actors and political elites. However, in 1924, her name became linked with scandal when film producer Thomas Ince died at a party aboard Hearst's yacht.

Following the decline of her film career during the Great Depression, Davies struggled with alcoholism. She retired from the screen in 1937 to devote herself to an ailing Hearst and charitable work. In Hearst's declining years, Davies remained his steadfast companion until his death in 1951. Eleven weeks after Hearst's death, she married sea captain Horace Brown. Their marriage lasted until Davies' death at 64 from malignant osteomyelitis (bone cancer) of the jaw in 1961.

By the time of her death, her popular association with the character of Susan Alexander Kane in the film Citizen Kane (1941) already overshadowed Davies' legacy as a talented actress. The title character's second wife—an untalented singer whom he tries to promote—was widely assumed to be based upon Davies. However, many commentators, including writer-director Orson Welles, defended Davies' record as a gifted actress and comedienne to whom Hearst's patronage did more harm than good. In his final years, Welles attempted to correct the widespread misconceptions the film had created about Davies' popularity and talents as an actress.
