“An exceptional work of film scholarship, packed with
information no one had uncovered before that reads like a juicy
novel.” —Vanity Fair
“Beauchamp serves up with gusto many measures of gossipy history
and historical gossip. . . . One hell of a story.” —San
Francisco Chronicle

gall, the vision, and the restless ambition of the founding father
are meticulously documented.” —The Boston Globe
“Cari Beauchamp deserves great credit for bringing Joseph P.
Kennedy into sharp focus with a wealth of detail. . . . Beauchamp

but one which adds to it much we didn’t know before. ” —Michael
Korda, The Daily Beast
“Smart. . . . Beauchamp suggests that nothing in Kennedy’s long
career of banking, stock manipulation, and New Dealing prepared him
for presidential politics the way his time in the picture business
did.” —New York Times Book Review
“[A] crackling page-turner. . . . Beauchamp demonstrates again and
again, that apart from [Kennedy’s] abiding love and concern for his
nine children (and perhaps a few others including Marion Davies),
the bottom line was everything.” —Los Angeles Times
“Rarely has [Kennedy’s Hollywood years] been documented in such
meticulous detail. . . . Well-written and researched, Beauchamp’s

perhaps its most fascinating period.” —Chicago
Sun-Times
“Beauchamp’s research is phenomenal and would have daunted any
other author. . . . A masterpiece of backstage capitalism.”
—Cineaste
“Cari Beauchamp has dug deep into my mother’s files and records and
