Kitty Kelley Bücher

Dies ist die unautorisierte Biografie von Frank Sinatra, einer der schillerndsten Persönlichkeiten unserer Zeit. Die gefeierte Journalistin Kitty Kelley hat drei Jahre damit verbracht, Regierungsdokumente (materialien im Zusammenhang mit der Mafia, Abhörprotokolle und geheime Zeugenaussagen) zu recherchieren und mehr als 800 Personen aus Sinatras Leben (Familie, Kollegen, Strafverfolgungsbeamte, persönliche Freunde) zu interviewen. Vollständig dokumentiert, hochgradig detailliert und gefüllt mit aufschlussreichen Anekdoten, erzählt dieses Buch die eindringliche Geschichte der explosiv umstrittenen und unbestreitbar vielseitigen Legende, die die Unterhaltungsindustrie über fünfzig Jahre lang beherrschte.

A bestselling author goes behind the lens of a legendary photographer to capture a magical timeA consummate photojournalist, Stanley Tretick was sent by United Press International to follow the Kennedy campaign of 1960. The photographer soon befriended the candidate and took many of JFK's best pictures during this time. When Kennedy took office, Tretick was given extensive access to the White House, and the picture magazine Look hired him to cover the president and his family. Tretick is best known today for the photographs he took of President Kennedy relaxing with his children. His photographs helped define the American family of the early sixties and lent Kennedy an endearing credibility that greatly contributed to his popularity. Accompanied by an insightful, heartwarming essay from Kitty Kelley—Tretick's close friend—about the relationship between the photographer and JFK, Capturing Camelot includes some of the most memorable images of America's Camelot and brings to life the uniquely hopeful historical era from which it emerged.

She was the definition of White House style for too brief a time. And as a private citizen, we couldn't seem to get enough of her. Here is the inside, outside, upside and downside of our own American princess. Tragic, heroic, the image of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis remains the image of an American icon that will never lose its ability to charm and fascinate.
