J. Randy Taraborrelli is the author of 15 books, including the New York Times’ bestseller, "Elizabeth," the critically-hailed biography of Elizabeth Taylor. It was his fastest rising bestseller, debuting on the prestigious New York Times list at #8.  His latest book, The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, draws complex and sympathetic portraits of the powerful women so influential in the actress' life:

• Her mother, Gladys Baker, who gave up her daughter, Norma Jeane (Marilyn) after having two others kidnapped from her.
• Her foster mother, Ida Bolender, who raised Norma Jeane for seven years — a woman whose brash but powerful approach to parenting has been completely misunderstood.
• The legal guardian, Grace Goddard, who helped create "Marilyn Monroe."

J. Randy also tells for the first time the potent story of Marilyn's closely guarded friendship with Pat Kennedy Lawford, sister of President John Kennedy; he sheds new light on Marilyn's so-called affair with JFK; and he reveals shocking information about Marilyn's relationship with Robert Kennedy. An epic journey told by a master storyteller, this is the final word on the life of one of the most fascinating and elusive icons of the 20th Century.

J. Randy is also the author of “Jackie, Ethel, Joan - Women of Camelot”, another New York Times bestseller for him in hard cover and paperback, as well as a highly-rated miniseries for NBC-TV starring Jill Hennesey as Jackie Kennedy and Lauren Holly as Ethel Kennedy. Moreover, he is the author of “Michael Jackson - The Magic and the Madness” (also nominated for a W.H. Smith award in England) as well as “Call Her Miss Ross," both New York Times bestsellers. He has also written critically-praised biographies about Frank Sinatra, Carol Burnett and Cher, as well as a pictorial history of Motown Records. He is also the author of the newly updated, "Michael Jackson - The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story," also published in 2009.
Additionally, he is a news analyst for CBS News and his six-months-plus coverage of the Michael Jackson molestation trial in Santa Maria for that network was widely praised. (He was the only CBS News TV reporter in the courtroom for the verdict). J. Randy also reports on pop culture and celebrities for Hello! (England and Canada), The Daily Mail and Sunday Mail (England), and Australia Women’s Weekly (Australia).
