The Royals

Kitty Kelley is an American journalist and author of several best-selling unauthorized biographies of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Reagan, the British Royal Family, the Bush family, and Oprah Winfrey. Although Kelley has been called "the consummate gossip... monger, a vehicle for all the rumor and innuendo surrounding her illustrious subjects" she maintains, "I am an unabashed admirer of transparency and believe in the freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment", and, to that end, her writing is about "moving an icon out of the moonlight and into the sunlight". Born in Spokane, Washington, Kitty Kelley received a B.A. in English from the University of Washington. She worked at the New York World's Fair in 1964 and went on to become a receptionist/press secretary for Senator Eugene McCarthy. Following four years as a press assistant to McCarthy, Kelley worked for two years as the editorial page researcher for The Washington Post. Since then, she has worked as a freelance writer, her articles appearing in many major publications.
