Today, the world lost a philandering drunk who killed a girl back in 1969… and also lost a gifted crime writer:
Writer Dominick Dunne has died, Vanity Fair is reporting. He was 83.
He died of bladder cancer today at home in Manhattan, said his son, actor-director Griffin Dunne.
Dunne was a best-selling author who also spent 25 years as a correspondent and editor with Vanity Fair. He covered some of the most celebrated figures and their legal travails.
Two things:
1) I honestly thought you were talking about DD for a minute there with the murderer comment. Considering he got his start as a writer talking about the trial of the man who killed his daughter, I had some serious congnitive dissonance. 🙂
2) Don’t forget that Teddy was also a longtime contributor to NORAID making him a terrorist supporter as well. According to an article in GQ, he would appear to be a serial sexual assaulter as well.
