Carol Felsenthal is the
author of several biographies, including Citizen Newhouse:
Portrait of a Media Merchant, Power, Privilege, and the Post:
The Katharine Graham Story, and Princess Alice: The Life
and Times of Alice Roosevelt Longworth.
She has just finished writing Clinton in Exile: A President
Out of the White House, a book about Bill Clinton’s
post presidency. The book was published on May 6, 2008 by
William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins.
HBO will soon start production of a television adaptation
of her biography of Katharine Graham, Power, Privilege
and the Post: The Katharine Graham Story. Joan Didion has written
the revised screenplay; Tom Hooper, who recently completed
an HBO mini series on John Adams, is set to direct.
In 2005 and 2006 she taught “Writing Profiles” at
the University of Chicago—a course that drew on her
experience writing magazine profiles of people ranging from
Ann Landers to Don Rumsfeld. She has also given speeches
around the country and abroad and appeared on scores of television
and radio shows to talk about her experiences writing unauthorized
biographies of some of the country's most powerful people.
