"Author Mike McColl-Jones worked alongside Graham Kennedy for almost 20 years, churning out jokes and scripts for the popular television show, In Melbourne Tonight. McColl-Jones is a veteran comedy writer for Australian television; writing not only for Kennedy, but for stars such as Don Lane and Bert Newton. Rather than simply being a biography of the man known as, ‘The King’, this is an insight into how Kennedy’s colleagues felt about him. ‘It is the private Graham Kennedy’. It includes Kennedy’s struggles as a child-the atypical upbringing, the uncertainty of his father going to war and his passion to be a radio presenter. The book shows what a remarkable person Graham Kennedy was in his time."--Publisher details.
HENRY GAY shares a few of the letters Graham Kennedy wrote to him during their 50 year friendship which began in 1951 but, as so much has been written about the King of Australian Television , Henry decided to reveal a few odd things about other people who crossed his path and a little bit of history about working in radio when it was called wireless.
VIZARD UNCUT is the unauthorised and largely untold story of Steve Vizard's life. Drawn from extensive interviews and comprehensive research, VIZARD UNCUT seeks to demystify the enigma that is Steve Vizard: underpants salesman, corporate lawyer, Gold Logie winner, philanthropist, victim of a multi-million-dollar fraud and subject of a high-profile investigation by ASIC. In the early 1990s, Vizard revolutionised television comedy with the ground-breaking Fast Forward and Full Frontal, with characters such as Roger Ramshett, Hunch and the airline stewards Wayne and Darryl. He is also well remembered as the wise-cracking, stunt-pulling host of Tonight Live who interviewed everyone from Kylie Minogue to Gerard Depardieu. The late 1990s saw him become a part of the Melbourne establishment, especially in the arts, entertainment and sport. Then, in one swift blow, Steve Vizard went from icon to pariah. Steven Bedwell gives us the complete, complex story of the man, pieced together from never-before-seen documents and testimonies. VIZARD UNCUT brings to light the events of recent years that have shrink-wrapped themselves over a remarkably full and diverse life.

From the fictitious diary of the equally fictitious Kennedy nanny comes an inside look into the early years of the dynasty—with all the juicy bits intact. Newly arrived from Ireland, Nora Brennan finds a position as nursery maid to the Kennedys of Brookline, Massachusetts—and lands at the heart of American history. In charge of nine children practically from the minute they're born—including Joe Jr., Jack, Bobby, Teddy, vivacious "Kick," and tragic Rosemary—she sees the boys coached at their father's knee to believe everything they'll ever want in life can be bought. She sees the girls trained by mother Rose to be good Catholic wives. With her sharp eye and her quiet common sense, Nora is the perfect candidate to report on an empire in the making.

Distinguished journalist Benjamin C. Bradlee’s intimate biography of President John F. Kennedy and his Camelot years. Conversations with Kennedy is legendary reporter and executive Benjamin C. Bradlee’s account of his intimate dialogues with JFK—a man he counted as a confidante and friend. Beginning in 1958, when Kennedy was a US senator running for president, and continuing until 1963, the year that Kennedy died, Bradlee shared a close professional and personal relationship with the charismatic politician. Both men were war veterans, idealists, and up-and-coming American leaders, and they shared values that drove their friendship. Kennedy was a politician equally at home with the bruising intellects he appointed to government posts and his working-class constituents. He respected his complicated father, understood his brothers, admired women, and had few illusions about human nature. Bradlee’s eye for detail reveals JFK’s views on everything from Communism to conservatism to freedom of the press. From parties at the White House to weekends at Palm Beach to JFK’s enduring influence on Bradlee’s own life, this is an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the man behind a myth, written by a giant of American journalism.
Graham Kennedy collected around him some of the brightest talents of the Australian entertainment industry. For two decades high-flying sports journalist Rob Astbury was at the center of that circle, sharing Kennedy's bed and his bleakest moments. For years Astbury refused all financial incentives to tell his story, but now he reveals what life was like with Graham. Graham Cyril Kennedy reigned for three decades as the undisputed king of the world of Australian television. Beloved of mums and dads across the nation, he enjoyed virtually limitless power, wealth and fame. But lurking behind the facade of rapier quick repartee and bug-eyed joviality was a dark and twisted soul. Cruel, vindictive and wolfishly self-obsessed, Kennedy was obliged to conceal his sexual preferences at a time when being openly gay meant professional suicide.This ongoing denial, combined with an inhibited and unhappy childhood, gave birth to a bitter and suspicious nature. He was a man who opened himself up only to a minute circle of confidants.This will be a 'no holds barred' account of their lengthy relationship where Astbury reveals a frightened, often vicious, occasionally tender, control freak.
Robyn Annear lends her signature wit to this fantastic history of second-hand: from the origins of the op shop to eBay, up-cycling and how new became normal.
