Winchell Gossip, Power and the Culture of Celebrity by Neal Gabler is a towering biography of one of the most feared American journalists, Walter Winchell. Winchell found his calling at a young newspaperman. He brought unabashed and undisguised gossip into the mainstream press. His columns revealed who was cavorting with gangsters or chorus girls, whose husband was sighted with whose wife in compromising positions, and who was involved in financial shenanigans. He was more than just a gossip writer, he rose to political commentator. In his heyday, 50 million Americans listened to his radio show or read his columns. Winchell was truly at the beginning and center of the creation of celebrity as we now know it.
