Kitty Kelley Boeken

In 1981 zag het ernaar uit dat het Britse koningshuis met vlag en wimpel de nieuwe eeuw zou ingaan : het sprookjeshuwelijk van Charles, de Prins van Wales, met de jonge Lady Diana Spencer leek het begin van een nieuw tijdperk, vol romantiek en glamour. En toen prins Andrew met Sarah Ferguson trouwde, in net zo'n vrolijke, sprookjesachtige sfeer,leek alles nooit meer stuk te kunnen. Maar nog geen tien jaar later was de mooie droom een nachtmerrie geworden : schandalen op alle fronten teisterden het koningshuis en de monarchie wankelde als nooit tevoren.

This is the book Frank Sinatra failed to stop, the unauthorized biography of one of the most elusive public figures of our time. Celebrated journalist Kitty Kelley spent three years researching government documents (Mafia-related material, wiretaps and secret testimony) and interviewing more than 800 people in Sinatra's life (family, colleagues, law-enforcement officers, personal friends). Fully documented, highly detailed and filled with revealing anecdotes, here is the penetrating story of the explosively controversial and undeniably multi-talented legend who ruled the entertainment industry for more than fifty years.
