      For more than half a century, Americans have been captivated by the Kennedys - their joy and heartbreak, tragedy and triumph, the dark side and the remarkable achievements. In this ambitious and sweeping account, Taraborelli continues the family chronicle begun with his bestselling Jackie, Ethel, Joan and provides a behind-the-scenes look at the years "after Camelot." He describes the challenges Bobby's children faced as they grew into adulthood; Eunice and Sargent Shriver's remarkable philanthropic work; the emotional turmoil Jackie faced after JFK's murder and the complexities of her eventual marriage to Aristotle Onassis; the the sudden death of JFK JR; and the stoicism and grace of his sister Caroline. He also brings into clear focus the complex and intriguing story of Edward "Teddy" and shows how he influenced the sensibilities of the next generation and challenged them to uphold the Kennedy name. Based on extensive research, including hundreds of exclusive interviews, After Camelot captures the wealth, glamour, and fortitude for which the Kennedys are so well known. With this book, J. Randy Taraborrelli takes readers on an epic journey as he unfolds the ongoing saga of the nation's most famous-and controversial-family.

    • Je součástí našich životů více než šest desetiletí. Americká ikona Elizabeth Taylorová se stala slavnou a známou už jako dítě. Zkušený životopisec J. Randy Taraborrelli hledá za bulvární verzí Elizabethina života skutečného člověka – a pátrá, jak se z dětské hvězdy stala úspěšná žena. Středem této práce je první opravdový portrét rodiny Elizabeth Taylorové – její chytré, panovačné matky, která plánovala úspěšnou kariéru své dcery už od kolébky, i otce, jehož vztah k Elizabeth byl mnohem spletitější, než tušíme. Taraborrelli popisuje lidi kolem Elizabeth a její vzestup v Hollywoodu čtyřicátých let, odhaluje vlastnosti, které z ní udělaly hvězdu, svazky, které ji dovedly ve správný čas na správná místa, i oblasti, v nichž byla zcela nepřipravená žít samostatný život. Osmi manželstvím a sedmi manželům Elizabeth se dostalo široké veřejné pozornosti, autor této knihy však zkoumá psychologické a emocionální kořeny všech těchto vztahů, včetně nešťastného manželství s Nickym Hiltonem, vztahu s frajerským Mikem Toddem a složité, bouřlivé milostné aféry s Richardem Burtonem, která trvala celá desetiletí a nikdy tak docela neskončila. Nakonec se Taraborrelli soustředí na Elizabethin nejbravurnější výkon. Přes velmi veřejný boj se závislostí a mnoha úrazy a nemocemi se jí podařilo dosáhnout nových úspěchů v rodinném životě, mezi přáteli a v neposlední řadě v boji proti AIDS.
