A devoted sociologist, Darwin Porter is the best known and most prolific archivist of celebrity scandal in the world. Author of at least 60 biographies and show-biz commentaries, and winner of at least a dozen book awards, he's an interviewer familiar with the personal quirks of everyone from Eleanor Roosevelt to Tallulah Bankhead. Applauded and denounced, he's been reviewed as " the Nietzsche of Naughtiness, the Goethe of Gossip, the Proust of Pop Culture, with as straightforward a manner as an oncoming train. His prose whacks you between the eyes with the greatest gossip since Kenneth Anger. Some would say better than Anger." Danforth Prince is a graduate of Hamilton College, a former employee of The New York Times, a prolific publisher of celebrity biographies, and former co-author and director of research for dozens of FROMMER GUIDES. This book represents the 50th book he's published in his capacity as President of Blood Moon Productions.
