About the Item
The Secret Life of Walter Winchell by Lyle Stuart. Boar's Head Books, New York, 1953. First edition hardcover with Brodart covered dust jacket. The book identifies the fault lines between gossip and news, between celebrity and democracy, between popularity and responsibility. It exposes Winchell’s crude methods, his fabrications, half-truths, and inaccuracies. Winchell arranged for three thugs to beat up the unauthorized biographer Lyle Stuart in 1953. The author was attacked by three hired thugs for writing it. He identified two of them from a police mug book and they were arrested, tried, and convicted. They received one-year prison sentences. Winchell could put people in jail with the help of his close friend, J. Edgar Hoover who ran the F.B.I. as a personal preserve. A primary source of information for this book was Winchell’s former son-in-law who also was sent to prison for five years on a trumped-up income tax charge. A fascinating book.
