Thursday's Author

Having written such successful biographies as The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson: The Magic and The Madness, Jackie, Ethel, and Joan (which was adapted into a miniseries for NBC) and of course Call Her Miss Ross, J. Randy Taraborrelli has been crafting and adding to his fan base for the past two decades. This man's talents don't just stop at the written word either. He has appeared everywhere from CNN to Good Morning America to Larry King Live, reporting first hand on some of the most famous and some of the most heartbreaking celebrity stories of our time.

A man who goes after what he wants, and insists on presenting the most accurate portrait of the personalities he writes about, Randy gives his audience his all with every release he turns out. His presence on the bestseller lists is testament to the popularity of his work. He's someone who cares about the people he writes about and this comes across ever so clearly in his books.

Randy is a friend of mine who I've interviewed twice over the past few years. He's always there with a quick reply to an email, a tip on where to find a Supremes track that is hard to get your hands on, and he's a dynamo when it comes to his sense of humor. The man just makes people his friends with ease. For anyone unfamiliar with his work I highly recommend him. For those who do know him, the praise is shared indeed.
