Elvis & the Memphis Mafia is the first book to capture the King - the man and the phenomenon - in his full complexity. číst celé

Decades after his death, Elvis Presley's extraordinary physical appeal, timeless music, and sexual charisma continue to captivate, titillate, and excite. Yet no book has solely explored his relationships with women and how they influenced his music and life--until now. Based largely on exclusive interviews with the many women who knew him in various roles--lover, sweetheart, friend, costar, and family member--this book explores Presley's love affairs with, among others, Ann-Margret, Linda Thompson, Sheila Ryan Caan, June Juanico, Joyce Bova, Barbara Leigh, Cybill Shepherd, and Priscilla Beaulieu, as well as his numerous friendships with women. The book also spotlights the women who dared to turn him down, as well as two women--Kay Wheeler and Tura Satana--who taught him dance moves he used onstage. Baby, Let's Play House presents Elvis as a charming but wounded Lothario who bedded scores of women but seemed unable to maintain a lasting romantic relationship.--From publisher description

Jessice Savitch wurde 1977 die erste Nachrichtenmoderatorin des US-Fernsehsenders NBC. Sie hatte damit eine für Frauen praktisch unerreichbare Position erlangt und war auf dem Höhepunkt einer traumhaften Karriere angekommen. Sechs Jahre später starb Jessica Savitch, kurz nachdem sie vor laufender Kamera einen Zusammenbruch erlitten hatte - die Folge unmäßigen Drogenkonsums. Alanna Nashs Biographie enthüllt das leidenschaftliche Ringen einer ehrgeizigen Frau um Anerkennung und Erfolg - ein Kampf gegen die Männerwelt der Medien, aber letztlich auch gegen sich selbst. Unter dem Titel "Aus nächster Nähe" verfilmte John Avnet die Geschichte der Jessica Savitch.
