Autor: Jean Stein

Jean Stein”s father, Jules, founded MCA and she grew up in the golden years of Hollywood. At Jean”s coming-out party, Judy Garland sang “Over the Rainbow”; later she had an affair with William Faulkner, became an editor at The Paris Review, and was Elia Kazan”s assistant on Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Immersed in the demi-monde of New York, she was close to Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground, and to Warhol”s muse – Edie Sedgewick – about whom Lou Reed wrote “Femme Fatale” and Jean Stein wrote Edie (1982). That book became an international best-seller, of which Norman Mailer wrote: “This is the book of the Sixties that we have been waiting for.”
