Pamela Harriman's Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue
BuchGebunden

Penguin Publishing Grouperschienen am17.09.2024
"When Pamela Churchill Harriman died in 1997, the obituaries that followed were predictably scathing--and many were downright sexist. Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures.

That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, interviews, and newly discovered sources, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. ... There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents, and there is practically no one in 20th century politics, culture, and fashion whose lives she did not touch, including the Kennedys, Truman Capote, Aly Khan, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem, Ed Murrow, and Frank Sinatra"--mehr
