🎬 History Bites has officially entered its visual era!After telling Luxembourg's stories through articles and audio, Bourgmeisterin is trying something new: its very first video podcast! And what better way to make our on-screen debut than with a Hollywood legend?🇱🇺 What does tiny Luxembourg have to do with the Golden Age of Hollywood? Quite a lot, if you follow Loretta Young's family tree.Born Gretchen Michaela Young in Salt Lake City, Utah, Loretta Young grew up to become one of Hollywood's most recognisable stars. With Luxembourgish ancestry, a career spanning silent cinema, Oscar-winning performances and groundbreaking television, her life was anything but ordinary.She started acting as a child, reinvented herself under a name fit for the silver screen, and went on to work alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Orson Welles and Tyrone Power.But her story goes far beyond glamorous gowns and famous co-stars.In this episode of Bourgmeisterin: History Bites, we explore:🎥 From Gretchen to Loretta: How a little girl from Utah found her way into silent films and became a Hollywood star.🏆 The Golden Age: Her rise through the studio system, her Academy Award for The Farmer's Daughter (1947), and memorable performances in The Stranger and The Bishop's Wife.📺 The Queen of Primetime: How The Loretta Young Show made her one of television's pioneering female stars, earning her three Primetime Emmy Awards.👗 The famous gowns: Why her glamorous television entrances became almost as memorable as her performances — and eventually led to a legal dispute with NBC.🎭 Beyond the screen: Her political involvement, Catholic faith, charitable work and deep personal drama that involved none other than Clark Gable.And, of course, the unexpected Luxembourgish connection that brings her story into the Bourgmeisterin universe.Loretta Young's life was a mixture of ambition, reinvention, glamour, personal secrets and extraordinary professional longevity. From the silent-film era to the age of television, she repeatedly found ways to remain relevant in an industry that was constantly changing.---ABOUT BOURGMEISTERINBourgmeisterin explores Luxembourg's history, culture, traditions and the people whose stories deserve to be told.Through historical articles, History Bites podcasts and Fireside Chats, the project brings Luxembourg's past and present closer to the people who call the country home.📚Based on the article by Bourgmeisterin "A story about Luxembourgish Queen of the Golden Era of Hollywood": ⁠https://bourgmeisterin.com/all-stories/f/a-story-about-luxembourgish-queen-of-the-golden-era-of-hollywood📖 Discover more Luxembourg stories: https://bourgmeisterin.com/📸 Follow Bourgmeisterin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourgmeisterin/🎧 Explore more History Bites episodes: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Mr5HADRaTxoLlO7mB2iRu?si=b9b045b696344c18If you enjoyed this episode, give it a like, share it with someone who loves history or classic cinema, and subscribe for more unexpected stories from Luxembourg.---Timecodes:00:00 - 00:10 – Introduction00:10 - 02:13 – From Salt Lake to Stardom02:13 - 04:44 – Too Young to Marry, Just Right for Hollywood04:44 - 09:05 – Oscars, Secrets, and a Flight Suit09:05 - 14:24 – The Queen of Primetime14:24 - 17:18:28 – Ballots and a Heart of Gold---Photo credits: full links are available here https://bourgmeisterin.com/all-stories/f/a-story-about-luxembourgish-queen-of-the-golden-era-of-hollywood

It’s #LegacyLinks time – coming at you the third time around!Each episode links a historical figure, event or a place from Luxembourg’s past to someone representing the same field today: this time, we’re looking at all three of these aspects since we're talking about the relationship between Luxembourg🇱🇺 and the UK🇬🇧 with Darren Robinson, the president of the British-Luxembourg Society.A year ago, Bourgmeisterin partnered with the Society to highlight just how deeply interwoven the two countries are. Darren's voice brings both personal experience and institutional knowledge to this ongoing story of friendship between Luxembourg and the UK, which has always been one of mutual respect, cultural connection, and shared history🤝We also touched upon the fact that this connection has always been supported on three fronts: the Society, of course, has long served as a cultural ambassador, but the The British Chamber of Commerce for Luxembourg has also been instrumental in supporting the business relationships – just like the British Embassy has been vital in keeping the diplomatic ties strong.Produced with the support of ARA City Radio❤️British-Luxembourg Society: b-l-s.lu/British-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce: www.bcc.lu/The embassy of the UK in Luxembourg: www.gov.uk/world/organisations…bassy-in-luxembourg#BourgmeisterinPodcast #LegacyLinks #BourgmeisterinLegacyLinks #LuxembourgHistory #Storytelling #UK #LuxUKLinks #LuxUKLinks

🇱🇺What happens when food stops being just food?🥘In this edition of Bourgmeisterin: Fireside Chats, Julia Khalyavko sits down with restaurateur Davide Sorvillo – the mind behind Bonne Nouvelle, Public House and Bistro des Capucins – to talk about everything from pineapple wine🍍 and umami🤤 to Luxembourgish cuisine, migration, memory and belonging.Along the way, we ask some slightly bigger questions: when does a dish become heritage? How much can tradition change before it stops being tradition? And can restaurants actually help people feel at home in a country?There are also detours into lobster, chicken tikka masala, Pizza Hawaii, language, integration and why Parmigiano may just be the Italian word for umami.Food for thought, quite literally🍷🇱🇺---📍The event was recorded live at Silversquare Liberté in Luxembourg City.🤝Supported by the 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘀, 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗴𝗲𝗲𝘀.💼Produced in partnership with 𝗔𝗥𝗔 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼📽️Filmed by the Luxembourgish videography company 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝟴---🌐 Bourgmeisterin: https://www.instagram.com/bourgmeisterin/, https://bourgmeisterin.com/🌐 Davide Sorvillo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davide-sorvillo/🌐 Bonne Nouvelle: https://bonnenouvelle.lu/, Public House Casino: https://www.publichouse.lu/, Bistro des Capucins: https://bistrodescapucins.lu/🌐 ARA City Radio: https://www.instagram.com/aracityradio/, https://www.instagram.com/radioara/, https://www.radioara.org/🌐 The Ministry: https://www.instagram.com/mifa_lu/, https://mfsva.gouvernement.lu/en.html🌐 Super8: https://www.instagram.com/super8videos/, https://www.super8.lu/---Chapters:00:00 Intro / Highlights01:16 Welcome & What We’ll Cover07:37 Davide’s Background & First Business17:55 Bonne Nouvelle: How It Started25:36 Public House: A New Direction31:31 Bistro des Capucins33:53 Umami & the Science of Taste38:12 What Is Luxembourgish Cuisine?43:46 Food, Memory & Cultural Heritage48:46 How Food Changes Status: The Lobster Example52:52 Migration, Reinvention & Chicken Tikka Masala58:01 Restaurants, Community & Belonging01:02:11 Audience Q&A
