Dominick Dunne

    29 ottobre 1925 – 26 agosto 2009

    Dominick Dunne è stato uno scrittore e giornalista investigativo americano il cui lavoro si è spesso concentrato sull'intersezione tra l'alta società e il sistema giudiziario. Dopo una carriera a Hollywood come produttore e personaggio televisivo, si dedicò alla scrittura, producendo esplorazioni acute delle vite dei ricchi e famosi. Le sue narrazioni si addentrarono negli aspetti più oscuri del loro mondo, rivelando le macchinazioni spesso nascoste sotto superfici scintillanti. Una profonda tragedia personale reindirizzò in seguito la sua attenzione verso le complessità dei procedimenti legali e la ricerca della giustizia.
