Kitty Kelley Predicts the End of the Unauthorized Biography
By Donya Blaze on Apr 21, 2010 . Galley Cat.
After documenting the lives of iconic figures like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the Bushes, and Britain's royal family, author Kitty Kelley says she doesn't see much of a future for the genre of biographies and her style of in-depth writing.
"Well, I just think it's a huge investment of a writer's time and a publisher's commitment. This represents four years of my life. This was college," she says of her latest release, Oprah: A Biography. "You know, we're in a 24/7 information era...I don't think you'll be able to write this kind of book 10 years from now."
Watch the final installment of our Media Beat interview to find out what Kelley says has been the biggest piece of feedback she's gotten on the book, plus the answer to the million dollar question: How would she feel if there was a bio about her?
