Taylor Swift, Succession and Citizen Kane all used the same Long Island hotel to represent excess

During the second season of the “succession” of the deliciously unpleasant satire of HBO, the patriarch of the powerful Roy family, Logan (Brian Cox), forces some of his subordinates to submit to him during a deeply humiliating “game”, he doubts the “boar”. I will not enter into the weeds of the “rules” of “wild boar on the ground” here, as they are, but it is a shame that the guys allow Logan to dominate them that they must do this instead of enjoying their magnificent location.

The place of “Hunting”, this particular episode of “succession”, is a mansion in Long Island of New York called the Château d’Oheka, and it was in fact a backdrop for a ton of properties of pop culture. (“Oheka” takes the name of the original owner of the Otto Hermann Kahn property.) According to an article on the Manse in Architectural Digest, because Oheka was there in the 1920s, he served as inspiration for F. Scott Fitzgerald as he wrote on Luxurious Bayside Homes in “The Great Gatsby”, and according to the Castle website, it served

Now a hotel and a wedding place, Oheka has authorized everything, “Americans” in “Gossip Girl”, and that Also Note that he played an important role in “Citizen Kane”. While the site reads it, “in 1941, the Château d’Oheka appeared under the name of Xanadu in the opening editing of the classic film” Citizen Kane “with Orson Welles.” In fact, if you are a fan of pop music, you are certainly familiar with the Early Château … because it appeared in a huge Taylor Swift Musical Video.

Any swiftie worthy of their salt knows that, during the era “1989” in 2014, Taylor Swift used Oheka Castle as the second single of the album Blockbuster, “Blank Space”. The song itself is a funny turn in the public image of Swift at the time – especially with regard to her life of meetings when people decided that she saw and “throws” too many men, despite the fact that she, if I can editorialize, went out with quite normally for twenty years – And tells the rise and the fall of a relationship. After seeing her boyfriend send sms to someone else on the castle of the castle, she becomes deliciously crazy and burns the clothes of the guy, destroys her car and generally represents the trope of the “difficult woman”, with a flowing mascara and a knife to make good measure. (This does not officially count as one of the roles of actor of Swift, but it is certainly better than his turn, say: “The donor.”)

After the third season of the sadly committed comedy “Girls5eva” broadcast in the spring of 2024, the actress Cat Cohen, who appeared in this season as a woman spoiled trophy and adolescent invaded Taffy England, told Vulture that they Also Filmed at the Château d’Oheka. Cohen, however, made it differently: “And we filmed it at the manor of Taylor Swift” Blank Space “, said Cohen at the end of an unrelated response. When he is in a hurry by interviewer Anne Victoria Clark – who asked questions about the massive staircase of the Manor – she seemed to confirm that it was by saying: “Yes. Yes. It is like this huge, I suppose that it is a hetero -type thing. For any reason,” Girls5eva “is not listed on the Oheka website as a project, but With precision, so I’m going to take his word!

This manor, loved by Logan Roy and Taylor Swift, East Available for weddings, hotel stays and events. If you want to keep a film and television marath with the Château d’Orieka, consult “Citizen Kane”, the clip “Blank Space”, “Succession” and a whole series of other projects.
