The Allure of Nymphets in Verse

The Allure of Nymphets

Charlie Chaplin had a crush on 12-year-old Maybelle Fournier before 
he met Mildred Harris when she was fourteen and bore

a child at 16.
And he was smitten with Hetty Kelly and impregnated Lillita Grey when they were 15.

Casanova took the virginity of Nanetta and Marta, whom were orphans
Seidel wrote in Ooga-Booga about maidens

“But this woman is young. We kiss. It’s almost incest.”  
The Rosewood Day School Pretty Little Liars were dressed

in sky-high minis and panties which they flashed
at the “fortysomething guy” at the mall before he hastily left abashed.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s 13-year-old Holiday Golightly 
married [a much] older man and when she was barely

15 she lived with a college jock whose eyes could have been blue
and at 18 she stated, “I can’t get excited by a man until he’s at least forty-two.”

Californication’s Frank Moody had sex with his step-daughter whom was 16.
Bored to Death’s Ray was disappointed that Jonathan didn't sodomized the 16

year-old St. Ann's coed.
While On the Road Neal Cassady of the 15-year-old Marylou said, 

“...so sweet, so young, hmm, ahh.” In The Dark Side of Camelot Joe Kennedy 
Sr. had sex with his 17-year-old caddie, 

whom he imported from the French Riviera while his wife, Lyndon Johnson 
and Lady Bird listened to the action

over lunch at the Kennedy beachfront home in Palm Beach.
In The Porning of America Frank Sinatra had the confidence to beseech

an affair with 14-year-old Tuesday Weld whom (ironically) turned down 
the role of Kubrick’s Lolita but after its success she probably had a meltdown.

And what was the 16-year-old’s Facebook New Year’s resolution?
“I’m going to f___ my history teacher!” At least she wasn't a freshman.

Gossip Girl’s Dan asked, “Who doesn’t like school girls?” 
Case in point, the homeless man whistled at the Catholic school girls

on the Grand Central subway platform while
the Pope approved the length of their skirts to entice an ephebophile.

Famous Ephebophile Frank Sinatra (48) & Mia Farrow (19)

Mia Farrow, Frank Sinatra & Tuesday Weld

Sarracino and Scott related in The Porning of America that 44-year-old Frank Sinatra had an affair with 14-year-old Tuesday Weld. Tuesday ironically became famous for turning down the role of Lolita in Kubrick’s adaptation of the novel. However, she eventually accepted a role in Pretty Poison as Sue Ann, a high school cheerleader who had an affair with a middle-aged ex-convict.

In addition, J. Randy Taraborrelli's wrote in Sinatra: Behind the Legend, that 19-year-old Mia Farrow lost her virginity to 48-year-old Frank Sinatra at his "ultra-modern glass and metal house" in Palm Springs after their flight on a private jet. “They had dinner on the terrace, served by an army of servants, and then he swept her into his bedroom.” Farrow described the night as “magical”.

And as you may know, in January of 1992, Farrow found six graphically nude photographs (e.g., "legs spread apart") of Soon-Yi, her 19-year-old (adopted) daughter, on a mantelpiece in Woody Allen's apartment. 

Vanity Fair related that subsequent to her marriage to Sinatra and prior to her marriage to Allen, Farrow married composer-conductor André Previn. Previn and Farrow had three sons and adopted three underprivileged Asian daughters. (You guessed it. Soon-Yi Previn was one of the adopted daughters.) But what you may not have guessed it that Previn and Farrow were the inspiration for the song “Beware of Young Girls” that was written by Dory Previn. (You guessed it. Dory was André’s ex-wife.) 

Previn and twenty-three-year-old Farrow started an affair while Previn was conducting the London Symphony Orchestra and Farrow was filming A Dandy in Aspic. Dory separated from André after she discovered that Farrow was pregnant with André’s child.

MTV's SCREAM: A Teacher-Student Sexual Affair, Teen Lipstick Lesbians & Teen Bella Thorne's Thong

Here's IMDb's description of MTV's Scream:

What starts as a YouTube [Cliplicious] video going viral soon leads to problems for the teenagers of Lakewood and serves as the catalyst for a murder that opens up a window to the town's troubled past.

In the opening scene of Scream's pilot, Audrey, a Lakewood High student, is filmed kissing a "chick" in the front seat of a car - in a parking lot. Someone recorded the teen lipstick lesbians and uploaded the video to Cliplicious with the caption: "Caught AUDREY makin out with some chick in the parking lot!!!!!!!!!! GET A ROOM you lesboz!!!!!!"

Unsurprisingly, the video went viral and was reposted on a number of other websites. 

Tim (@TimmyTee167) commented: NOW THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT. And JaqyLinne commented: "WOW Audrey is NAUGHTY"

In addition to schoolgirl lesbians, there's an age-gap sexual affair featured between Brooke Maddox, a Lakewood High student, and Mr. Branson, Brooke's English teacher.

Interestingly, Brook's described as wealthy, an It Girl, and the daughter of town's mayor.

Due to an (unrelated) investigation at Lakewood High, Mr. Branson suggested that he and Brook end their "study" sessions. To which Brook replied: 

"What exactly I'm I supposed to do when you call me and ask me if I'm wearing any underwear?"

Later, Mr. Branson had second thoughts about ending the "study" sessions and shared with Brook, "I miss you." To which his student replied, "I'm not the one who discontinued our study sessions."

In addition to the teacher-student affair and the teen lipstick lesbians, the pilot displayed 17-year-old Bella Thorne in a cheeky teen thong bikini.

Due to taking advantage of the allure of nymphets in the pilot, it's no surprise that Scream went on for three seasons on MTV. 

Bill Cosby Allured by Nymphets?

Of the women who accused Bill Cosby of drugging and raping them, at least six of them were nymphets. Below are five of their stories as profiled in New York magazine:

Traitz met Cosby while working as a waitress at Café Figaro in Los Angeles. The comedian offered to drive her home one night, but instead he took her to a beach. They parked and he pulled out a briefcase full of pills. He told her to take one to relax, but Traitz declined. He became angry. He groped her and tried to climb on top of her. Traitz pushed Cosby away, and fended him off...This happened when I was 18. ---Linda Joy Traitz

“At 17, my agent introduced me to Bill Cosby, who was going to mentor me and take me to the next level of my career. Over the course of the next year, I was drugged half the time when I was with him and would come out of a delusional experience going, ‘Whoa, what was that?’ He would say, ‘Well, I needed to undress you and wash your clothes because you got drunk and made a fool of yourself.’... I was invited down to Atlantic City to see his show and had a very confusing night where I was completely drugged and my luggage was missing. When I called the concierge to find out where my luggage was, Cosby went ballistic. He slammed the phone down and said, ‘What the hell are you doing, letting the whole hotel know I have a 19-year-old girl in my hotel suite?’ The next morning, he summoned me down to his room and yelled at me that I needed to have discretion. He threw me down on the bed and he put his forearm under my throat. He straddled me, and he took his belt buckle off. The clanking of the belt buckle, I’ll never forget.” —Barbara Bowman

19-year-old Tarshis was starting a career as a comedy writer when she met Cosby in Los Angeles through mutual friends. The comedian asked Tarshis if she’d be interested in working on some material with him. She joined Cosby at his bungalow. Cosby served Tarshis a Bloody Mary topped with a beer. She drank some, and the next thing she remembered was Cosby undressing her on his couch. She told him she had a yeast infection, hoping to fend him off. Cosby grabbed her head and forced her to perform oral sex on him. Back in New York, Tarshis got a phone call from Cosby, inviting her to his show on Long Island. Her mother answered the phone, and Tarshis didn't want to explain to her mother why she was reluctant to attend. She had a drink or two at his New York City hotel. Before she left, she saw vials of pills in a man’s shaving kit. They went to the show. "It hit me like a sledgehammer," she says. She felt like she was about to pass out, and she had the driver take her back to the limo. The next thing she remembers is waking up in bed the next morning with Cosby, naked and sore.  ----Joan Tarshis

Lasha met Cosby in Las Vegas in 1986. The 17-year-old high-school student worked at the Hilton Las Vegas but wanted to pursue a modeling career, so her stepmother sent a letter and a photo of Lasha to the comedian. Cosby called Lasha’s family, inviting her and her grandmother to his show, also at the Hilton. Cosby asked Lasha up to his suite, where he promised to introduce her to an agent from the Ford Modeling Agency. In his room, Cosby handed Lasha a blue pill — he said it was an antihistamine for her cold — and a double shot of Amaretto. Cosby asked her to put on a hotel robe and wet her hair to prepare for the modeling agent’s arrival. Lasha says someone came to the room and snapped a few photos, but quickly left. Alone again with Cosby, Lasha says the comedian led her to the bedroom and gave her another shot of Amaretto. She lay down, and then he climbed in bed beside her. She remembers him humping her leg, grunting. Then she blacked out. She woke up more than 13 hours later. Cosby stood above her and clapped his hands, shouting, “Daddy says wake up.” He handed her $1,500 and told her to buy something nice for herself and for her grandmother. She came forward in December 2014. “I used to fear for my life because of the type of influence that he had. And I would cry all the time, all the time. After that, I didn’t know who to trust and who not to trust. I have nightmares. I wouldn’t let my children watch The Cosby Show because I would cry.”

---Chelan Lasha

Welles first met Cosby when she was a child. Her mother was a talent agent and knew the comedian. Welles was 17 and an aspiring singer when she ran into Cosby on the set of I Spy. He invited her to a jazz club. Cosby ordered drinks soon after they arrived. Everything became a blur. She woke up in a strange apartment, naked and alone. The comedian told Welles she had drunk too much Champagne — though she says she remembered only drinking her Coke — and he brought her to the apartment so she could sleep it off. Welles took him at his word and accepted another invitation to a magic show. Again, her memories of the night disappeared, and she woke up naked. 

---Sunni Welles

Bill Cosby and Judy Huth

And the Daily Mail reported that Judy Huth claims that Cosby molested her in 1974 at the Playboy Mansion when she was 15-years-old. Huth alleges that Cosby seduced her with beers while they played billiards before he forced her to perform a sex act on him in one of the mansion's bedrooms. Here's the full account:

Huth claims she first met Cosby as a teenager when she and a friend, 16, wandered on to the set of one of his movies. He invited them to his tennis club the following Saturday, where they then followed him to a house and he 'served them alcohol beverages before playing some games of billiards.' Huth was required to drink a beer every time Cosby won a game according to the lawsuit. Later, the girls followed Cosby to the Playboy Mansion, where the comedian allegedly told Huth and her friend to say they were 19 if anyone asked their ages. Later in the evening, Huth claims she emerged from a bathroom to find Cosby sitting on a bed at which point he asked her to sit down next to him and attempted to 'put his hand down her pants'. He then allegedly took her hand in his and performed a sexual act on himself 'without her consent.'.

Dior Model Sofia Mechetner (14): Teen Sexpliotation or High Fashion?

Tanith Carey shared in The Daily Mail (26 Jul 2015) that 14-year-old Sofia Mechetner has been ordained as the face of Dior. Mechetner, who is from Tel Aviv, signed a two-year contract worth £170,000. 

After the 5' 11" Mechetner was signed by an agent in Israel, she was booked for a photo shoot in Paris, but the Parisian agency cancelled the photo shoot after it learned of the nymphet's age; however, after visiting the Dior store, Mechetner made such an impression on Raf Simons, the brand's creative director, that, despite her age, she was signed to an exclusive contract.

And Mechetner was signed by Dior despite the fact that in 2012 the entire line of international Vogue agreed to not hire models who were younger than 16, and in 2007 the British Fashion Council recommended that designers only use models who were at least 16. 

And what did Dior boldly have Mechetner wear in its 2015 Autumn Winter show? A flowing, yet sheer, Haute Couture Dior gown, which clearly revealed where her "pleasant fountains lie."

Kaia Gerber (13)

The potential controversy that comes with being a teen model hasn't stop the daughters of some celebrities. For example, Kaia Gerber, the 13-year-old daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, signed a contract with IMG and did a photo shoot where Carey described Gerber as "[...] reclining on a pillow, heavily made up, half-closed eyes and a come-hither pout." 

Lily-Rose Depp (15)

15-year-old Lily-Rose Depp, the daughter of Johnny, was hired as the face of Chanel eyewear. 

 Anais Gallagher (14)

And Anais, the daughter of rock star Noel Gallagher, signed with Select Model Management at the tender age of 11. 

Thus, the despite the outcry, the allure of nymphet models continues.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (1974) [Italian: Cugini carnali]: A Braless Teen Causes Stampede in Italy

Here's the IMDb plot summary for High School Girl (1974), [Italian: Cugini Carnali (1974)]:

Nico, a shy sixteen-year-old boy, becomes acquainted with his cousin Sonia, who stays at his home during the summer. Before leaving for Rome, Sonia finds a way to share her bed with him.

This may be hard to believe, but until I read AJ Jabobs' The Guinea Pig Diaries, I didn't realize that white men whom worked in white collar positions noticed beautiful women on the streets of Manhattan. 

I was shocked by Jacobs' honesty about his attraction to other women besides his wife. That was profound, because I've never understood why white men did not appear to notice beautiful women in New York City - unless the men are drunk or construction workers.

It dawned on me after reading The Guinea Pig Diaries that it may be a class thing. After reading Jacobs' chapter on being honest, I realized that educated white men actually do notice beautiful women, but it's considered impolite to openly gawk (i.e., it's done very discreetly).

And I would imagine that many educated men of color are the same way. For example, I can't imagine Ta-Nehisi Coates turning around to openly look at nymphet's derrière. 

One may get the impression that men of color and, from the scene in High School Girl (1974) where the Italian men openly gawk at the braless nymphet upon her bike, are more sexual than say the French or Japanese, but that behavior may be more class based than based on ethnicity. However, I would argue that the French and Japanese are the leaders in showing their nympholepsy in their art and media.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3, MAD MAX & THE LOVELY BONES: 3 Films Unknown for Age-Gap Sex?

In some films, such as American Beauty (1999) and Donny’s Bar Mitzvah (2021), the nympholepsy is apparent. But in some films, like Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) and Borat Subsequent Movie (2020), it's not so apparent.

Here's part of Wikipedia's plot summary for Paranormal Activity 3:

In 2005, Katie delivers a box of old videotapes to her pregnant [younger] sister Kristi [...] which holds footage of young Katie and Kristi with their mother, Julie, and her boyfriend Dennis. 

In 1988, in their house in Santa Rosa, California, Kristi begins interacting with an imaginary friend named Toby. Dennis notices that since Kristi's friend appeared, strange things have been happening around the house. Dennis and Julie try to make a sex tape, but are interrupted by an earthquake. The camera shows dust fall from the ceiling and land onto an invisible figure in the room. While reviewing the footage, Dennis notices the strange incident. His friend Randy suggests that Dennis place cameras throughout the house to capture any other incidents. That night in the girls' bedroom, Kristi wakes up and talks to someone off-camera. When Dennis questions her the following day, Kristi tells him it was Toby. 

The plot summary goes on for several paragraphs but what it doesn't make explicit is that Toby, who is described in the film by Kristi as being "old like Grandma", wanted to have sex with Kristi to produce a male heir. The Villain's Wikia sums it up better:

Toby was growing impatient and wanted to mate with Kristi to father her child in hopes of producing the male heir he had been promised. Kristi [initially] refused to give in to his demands and told Toby to stop talking to her. In a rage, Toby gave Kristi a high fever and brutally attacked Katie and Dennis' assistant Randy the following day. Later that night the furious demon trashed the girls' room and dragged Katie into his crawlspace, holding her hostage until Kristi agreed to do as he asked. Toby told her to go to Lois' [the grandmother's] house to prepare for a binding ritual.

The film ends as Lois lures Kristi and Katie upstairs saying, "Let's get ready," before Kristi excitedly request that Toby join them.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is approximately two hours of almost non-stop carnage as Immortan Joe violently attempts to recover his five, much younger, wives whom escaped with warrior Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) with the help of Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy). 

Lastly, the novel and the film The Lovely Bones (2009) is about how 14-year-old Susie Salmon was raped and murdered by George Harvey - her 36-year-old neighbor in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Interestingly, the film doesn't make it explicitly clear that Salmon was raped.

In Paranormal Activity 3,  Mad Max: Fury Road, and The Lovely Bones, it appears that the underlying theme of nympholepsy is lost in the entertainment.

From Elvis to JFK: Famous Age-Gap Relationships

Below is a list of famous age-gap relationships. It's worth noting that it's a common mistake to label the men as pedophiles. The clinical definition of pedophilia is an attraction to pre-pubertal or early pubertal children. These men are hebephiles and ephebophiles. (Hebephiles are attracted to girls between the ages of 12 and 16, and ephebophiles are attracted to girls between the ages of 15 to 19.)

Nymphet [Teen] Knee and Ankle Fetish

In The Allure of Nymphets, I shared the poem “man mowing the lawn across the way from me” by Charles Bukowski. He wrote:

man mowing the lawn across from me

don’t you see the young girls walking down the sidewalks now

with knives in their purses? 

don’t you see their beautiful eyes and dresses and\hair? 

don’t you see their beautiful asses and knees and 

ankles?

Bukowski couldn't fathom why the man wasn't infatuated by the knees and ankles of the passing nymphets. But, unsurprisingly, Bukowski isn't the only one with a nymphet knee and ankle fetish. 

Jérôme, the 35-year-old protagonist in the french film Claire's Knee (1970) [French: Le genou de Claire], "[...] is struck by teenage girl Claire and harbours an unquenchable desire to touch her knee." (IMDB).

And the book covers for the books pictured above, which are all about nymphets who are involved in age-discrepant relationships, were clearly chosen by a publishing company that was aware of the seductive nature of the knees and ankles of nymphets. Could that also be the reason why men find catholic school girl uniforms so inviting?

US Soldiers [Allegedly] Rape 54 Colombian (Pre) Teens

Ridley shared in The Red Queen that the attainment of (young) women is the main reason for wars and that the procurement of resources is secondary. 

In addition, according to The Economist, rape has been used as a motivator and pacifier for soldiers for centuries. For example, Japanese soldiers were provided 200,000 sex slaves during the Second Sino-Japanese war. During World War II, the Soviet army raped between one and two million Axis women. And Serbian soldiers raped over 20,000 Bosnian women between 1992 and 1995.

And The Daily Mail reported on 24 March 2015 that [at least] 54 Colombian nymphets were raped between 2003 and 2007, in the town of Melgar, by American troops and contractors. (Some of the rapes were boldly filmed and sold.)

In particular, in August of 2007, US sergeant Michael J. Coen and defense contractor Cesar Ruiz [allegedly] drugged and raped a 12-year-old Colombian maiden. Colombian prosecutors issued arrest warrants for Coen and Ruiz, but they weren't detained due to diplomatic immunity. 

Nabokov's Favorite French Author Robbe-Grillet: Incest, Dead Children & Porn Dream Research

Nabokov was asked in a 1964 Playboy interview, "Are there any contemporary authors you do enjoy reading?" Nabokov replied: 

"I do have a few favorites—for example, Robbe-Grillet and Borges. How freely and gratefully one breathes in their marvelous labyrinths! I love their lucidity of thought, the purity and poetry, the mirage in the mirror."

After reading in The Paris Review that Nabokov spent two months in Cambridge working on the English translation and commentary of Eugene Onegin - for over 17 hours per day, I found it interesting that the novel in verse was about how the poet Lensky invited 26-year-old dandy Eugene Onegin to dinner with his fiancée, the nymphet Olga, and her family. During the dinner Tatyana, Olga's 13-year-old older sister, became very infatuated with Onegin, but her innocent love for the older man was (initially) unrequited. 

Thus, I suspected that Nabokov's contemporary favorite authors would write themes of ephebophilia as well. And my suspicions were confirmed when I picked up a copy of Robbe-Grillet's nouveau roman novel Recollections of the Golden Triangle [French: Souvenirs du Triangle d'Or]. 

Here's part of the plot summary from the back cover:

It plots the tortuous investigation of a murder that leads to the revelation of the depraved activities of the Society of the Golden Triangle. Robbe-Grillet unravels the story in a dazzling hash of lurid images - a secret doorway, an illicit photograph, the bodies of dead children washed up by the tide-and echoing the pornographic dream research of the twisted Dr. Morgan. 

As it states on Amazon, "Recollections of the Golden Triangle challenges the reader to find his own meaning in its descriptions, clues, and contradictions, and to play detective by assembling the pieces of the fictional puzzle." But what is clear is that this novel falls into the dark side of ephebophilia. Here are two examples\scenes:

To celebrate her 17th birthday, Caroline's father took a whole box at the Opera House. Caroline was commanded to face the stage while straddling two armless red-velvet chairs before her father "[...] pressed himself shamelessly against her buttocks in order to caress her in greater comfort [...] The insidious fingers are no longer satisfied with stroking [...] They pass back and forth in wave after wave, tirelessly, over the bivalvular lips [...] One tiny, fragile rock resists and stiffens [...]"

"[And] little Violetta, who on the pretext that she is ill is enjoying a lie-in after breakfasting in bed, leafs through an illustrated children's book recounting exciting episodes from ancient history. The child surreptitiously begins caressing herself under the sheets."

Recollections of the Golden Triangle was published in French in 1978 - a year after Nabokov's death; however Robbe-Grillet's The Voyeur [French: Le Voyeur] was published in 1955. Here's part of Amazon's plot summary:

Mathias, a timorous, ineffectual traveling salesman, returns to the island of his birth after a long absence. Two days later, a thirteen-year-old girl is found drowned and mutilated. With eerie precision, Robbe-Grillet puts us at the scene of the crime and takes us inside Mathias’s mind, artfully enlisting us as detective hot on the trail of a homicidal maniac.

It has not been confirmed that Nabokov was a serial active ephebophilia, but it's clear that his oeuvre is liberally peppered with nympholepsy, and that (some of) the authors he relished peppered their oeuvre with nympholepsy as well. 

Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, and Scarlett Johansson Have Older-Man Problems

Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence & Emma Stone 

Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson aren't nymphets anymore, but according to Kyle Buchanan's New York magazine Vulture post "Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, and Scarlett Johansson Have an Older-Man Problem". Here's an excerpt and some graphics:  

Emma Stone is a mere 26 years old, but in the last cinematic year, she's had four onscreen love-interests who were over 40, including two male characters who were impotent. 

Jennifer Lawrence is Hollywood's most in-demand young actress, but ever since she won her Oscar, it's hard for her to find a screen lover who isn't approaching middle age. 

And Scarlett Johansson has been paired with older actors so often that when she romanced Mark Ruffalo in this summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron, their 17-year age difference was the least nitpicked aspect of their union. 

As we can see, even post-nymphets are alluring to Hollywood - especially when they're paired with older men. 

French Nymphet Ball Girls & Teen Tennis Players: Why Super Short Skirts?

I've been [unsuccessfully] doing research on the history of Catholic schoolgirl uniforms, and it dawned on me during a French Open broadcast, that like the male and female private school uniforms, there's a disparity between the length of the male and female tennis wear. 

As you can observe from the above GIFs, the tennis skirts of the nymphet ball girls and Fiona Ferro, the 18-year-old French tennis player, barely covers their hillocks. Consequently, their spandex covered hillocks are often exposed when they bend over, run or serve. But the shorts of the ball boys and the male tennis players almost always extend to their knees.

As one can safely assume that those teen ball girls and nymphet tennis players are causing a lot of nympholepsy among the French hebephiles, the questions remain: 

Who determined the length of the Roland-Garros ball girl uniforms? 

Who determined the length of the female tennis player uniforms? 

And who determined the length of the Catholic schoolgirl uniforms?

Pope Alexander VI's Teen Mistress: Giulia Farnese

Renaissance period Pope Alexander VI (1431 – 1503) was the Bishop of Rome from 1492 until his death. He is one of the most disputed Popes due to his adultery and nepotism. 

Alexander VI had a number of mistresses (and illegitimate children) but Giulia Farnese [Italian: Giulia la bella - Julia the beautiful.] was one of his most beloved. 

It isn't clear when their affair began, but when Farnese was 19 and the Pope was 62, Farnese moved into a palace next to the Vatican with Lucrezia Borgia - the Pope's 13-year-old daughter.

According to Durant's The Renaissance, Farnese was described as "The Pope's Whore", but she was good friends with the Pope's daughter. 

For some strange reason, Farnese was played by Lotte Verbeek, a 30-year-old actress, in Showtime's adaption of the life of Pope Alexander VI, The Borgias.
