Poison Pen: The Unauthorized Biography of Kitty Kelley by George Carpozi Jr. Barricade Books, Incorporated, 1991. 368 pages, illustrated.
READER REVIEW Kitty Kelley must have never heard the old aphorism, "don't dish it out, if you can't take it" because this unauthorized biography caused her considerable well publicized consternation. Her response is certainly understandable because the referenced source materials certainly surpass the innuendo and outright sophistry of her books, and the charges against her are severe. From shoplifting to rampant dishonesty (that allegation should cause little surprise among those familiar with her work), to uninhibited sexual hi-jinks, Carpozi throws it all at Kelley, and it certainly is enjoyable watching him score so many bull's eyes. His most striking charge is the strong possibility that Kelley gave birth to an illegitimate child in her much younger days. While that may never be proven, there is no denying that she has given birth to a huge body of illegitimate literature that has disgraced her far more than it could ever hurt her intended targets.
READER REVIEW The hour of judgement for Kitty has come! December 20, 1999 At last, someone finally gave Kelley what she so richly deserves--a book revealing the inspiration behind the inaccurate foolishness of her books. She is taking out all of her anger at being the child of an alcoholic out on the rest of the world. She has no respect for people who, unlike herself, actually achieved something worthwhile in life. She sleeps around and behaves like trash in order to print trash. She takes delight in ruining the reputations of decent people, magnifies their faults (which we all have), and is altogether a ditzy, insufferable twit! Now she gets a taste of her own medicine. It's about time!

Who or what is a Kitty Kelley?
Phew...at least Kelly didn't claim GWB ran a male brothel in the basement of his Massachusetts home.
Oh...wait. That was a Barney Frank.
I think she was the whore in "Gunsmoke".
What does this have to do with GWB?
and why do we care?
>>Who or what is a Kitty Kelley?
Someone who just had done to her what she's been doing to famous people for years. About (bleep) time.
Could you please explain the title of the thread.
Are there rumours that this paragon of truth (yes - sarcasm) is releasing a book re Predient Bush?
Suppose she has to join Fatso Moore, Sharon Stone and a number of other airheads.
I thought she played Ms. Galore in Goldfinger.
She's famous for this type of thing - wrote one about Nancy Reagan that was absolutely horrific and untrue.
This books is what? 7 years old?
I dun get it....
She wasn't a Whore--Kitty owned the Long Branch. She was more like a Madam. She had only one customer--Matt Dillon.
Oh please. These hollyweirdos are just that......living in LA LA LAND.
Shoulda been a cowboy....shoulda learned to rope and ride....
Kelley is a muckraker in the historical style of Ida Tarbell who delights in publishing trash about her subjects.
Frank Sinatra took her to court to try to stop her unauthorized bio of him.
More recenrly she trashed Nancy Reagan in an unauthorized bio.
Now Kelley's ready to release a book on the Bush family that some see as the October surprise that is intended to derail Bush's reelection efforts.
Better get used to her name and her game.
This new book is due to slither out in mid September.
