The Way They Were

41: Elena Saurel: Jack Nicholson & Anjelica Houston

Time to bring on the 1970s LA glam, so pull on your little black cocktail dress, light up a cigarette and hit the dancefloor, as tonight, thanks to this week's guest, actor Elena Saurel, you party with Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Houston!
Chantal and Grainne are DELIGHTED to delve into this hot mess of an iconic off-and-on-again couple, and it soon becomes clear that Anjelica has the patience of a saint... a saint in a floor-length, backless gown.
Although this relationship isn't for the faint of heart, it's clear these two had an unbreakable bond...until it was broken, so let's relive those heady days vicariously!
TW: Please note, another of Anjelica's relationships is briefly mentioned which has elements of domestic violence.

The podcast where every celebrity split is the one that got away. Each week comedians Grainne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate take a deep dive into a celebrity breakup, chosen by a special guest, that still lingers in their hearts and minds. We scour interviews, over-analyse iconic pictures and search for meaning in post-breakup media statements. Celeb gossip hounds will feel right at home, but really anyone who's experienced a breakup can appreciate hearing how the rich and famous take heartbreak to a whole new level. They might uncouple ‘amicably with love and respect for one another’ - but we never get over these lost loves! Join us every Friday for a new episode.
