It was with great sadness I learned of your death, Dominick. I still remember first meeting you when we both covered the von Bulow re-trial in Rhode Island. We became fast friends. I always enjoyed dinners and conversations with you, my friend. Rest in peace. Charles

To his family.... when asked who I most would want to have dinner with I would always answer, Dominick Dunne, a truly authentic man. I am sorry for your loss. His life was so interesting and he could so clearly make anyone understand anything about what he was covering. I will so miss him, and his stories. Sincerely Robin Young

There's one thing I'm sure of: wherever he is, he will go on giving no quarter.

I will truly miss Dominick Dunne. I enjoyed his tv show Power, Priviledge and Justice. He was one of a kind that I really enjoyed. Thank You for being you Dominick Dunne. Shirley Fish

Dear Griffin, Alex and Hannah, Please accept my very deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Father and Grandfather. No words can ease your pain but I hope the fact that people like me who did not even know him feel such a great loss because he is no longer in this world. God Bless

A lovely, lovely man who lived a fascinating life. I will miss you; I do wish I could stop by for tea one last time. Rest in Peace my friend.

There were so many headlines today especially with the passing of Sen. Kennedy. The moment I saw "Dominick Dunne", my whole focus was on him. His "Power, Privilege, and Justice" program is one I watch faithfully. It doesn't matter to me that I am watching repeat after repeat. His way of narrating made those repeats very easy for me to watch because he was a great "story teller." I, one little person in the universe, will miss him very much. I cannot imagine the show without him. My condolences to his family and friends.
Posted by Elisabeth from Orlando FL ~ 26\|Aug\|09

I was so happy to find a copy of Justice at a book fair just last Saturday. As with everything of his I read, it was both informative and entertaining. And I couldn't put it down! Whether at the end of a VF article, or an episode of PP&J;, my constant reaction was to think....he couldn't make that up, could he??? Thanks for your courage in shining the light on those who would otherwise have us think they're better than the rest of us!!!! BK

Thank you, Mr. Dunne, for your TV show which showed that, in many cases, those in a position of power do get their just desserts like the lowest criminals. Your writing will be missed, but at least the show lives on...
Posted by Creighton Rabs ~ 26\|Aug\|09

My sincerest condolences. I thought Mr Dunne was just a wonderful man. I loved his series and how he fought for justice for his slain daughter. I never missed an episode of his show and have followed him for years. I just can't tell you how sad I was to hear of his loss today. I will miss him very much.

I always looked forward to each and every Vanity Fair and always read first what Dominick Dunne wrote. I loved his style of writing and it was bittersweet when he talked about these long lost stars that were in there prime many years agao but were still fascinating to listen to each word he wrote. I will truly miss his words that he wrote.

Loved, loved, loved him immensely from seeing him on Courttv. He always made me laugh out loud with his witty remarks. I always wished he had met my mother (she is an 85 year old widower and a CT resident). He would have been a great step-dad. He was a rare gem and I will miss him. A loyal fan.

I am truly heartbroken by Mr. Dunne's passing. I read all of his books, devoured his columns and religiously watched Ppwer, Privilege, Justice. His constant reminders of the inequities in our judicial system were very much needed. RIP, Mr. Dunne

We are saddened by the passing of Dominick Dunne. He was a great writer. We have read all of his books, seen all of his films, enjoyed his TV show and always looked forward to his columns in Vanity Fair. No one will ever be able to take his place.
Posted by Donald Pile & Ray Williams ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Rest in Peace, Dominick. I can't put into words the admiration I had for him, and how he re-started his life at age 50. It was a thrill to run into him some years ago chatting up the CBS cameramen at D. J. Reynolds on West 57th. I was so in awe I just kept stupidly grinning at him. We lost some good Irishmen this year, and Dominick's at the top of the list. Rest in Heaven.

There was no better way to hear that "the rich bad guy got it" than from the voice of Domminick Dunne! Who else could mix with royals & the well-heeled on Saturday & share the raw gossip on Monday! Surely he has all the answers to the puzzles he covered & will wait at "the gate" for Martha Moxley's assailant.. Job well Dunne...

G-d bless, Mr. Dunne. Always loved your personal writing style and would always read your column in Vanity Fair. You will be missed.
Posted by Terry Taylor ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Mr. Dunne was the reason I started reading Vanity Fair. I could not wait for the new magazine every month. When I found out about who is daughter was, I could understand why he was such a great writer. His family went through so much. It became his way of life to help bring to everyone's attention to people who thought they could get away with anything because of who they were and because of him, they were brought to trail. Thank you Mr. Dunne for including all of us in your stories and your life. Rest in Peace

I heard one of Mr. Dunne's last interviews a few weeks back on Mark Simone's radio show and was relieved and heartened to hear from Mr. Dunne himself that he felt fine and was resuming working. I'm saddened to hear my prayers for his full recovery were not answered the way I would have liked. Mr. Dunne, thanks for all you've given - you will be sorely missed, but are in a far, far better place now. My deepest sympathies to your family and friends. You are the last of a dying breed. Rest in Peace.
Posted by N. D. Thacker ~ 26\|Aug\|09

to his family: death is not the end of a relationship but a start of a new one... you will feel him when you need him most... he will council you, he will guide you and of course, he will continue to love you... he's not far... he is now safe and out of pain... he's with his daughter, he loved so much... so i say to you: "remembered joy" Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free! I follow the plan God laid for me. I saw His face, I heard His call, I took His hand and left it all... I could not stay another day, To love, to laugh, to work or play; Tasks left undone must stay that way. And if my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss... Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss. My life's been full, I've savoured much: Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief— Don't shorten yours with undue grief. Be not burdened with tears of sorrow, Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow. please accept my sympathy and put your faith in god... you will be in my prayers... god bless...

so sad to hear that dominick dunne has passed away; i couldn't wait to read his work when vanity fair arrived - i always thumbed through to read him first! i loved seeing how others lived through his eyes; he had an amazing talent. as others have mentioned, he was an individual i would have loved to have met in person - rest in peace
Posted by Sandy ~ 26\|Aug\|09

I too, waited for Vanity Fair to arrive to read the latest. One day when walking down Madison Avenue Mr. Dunne passed me on the street. It was obvious by my reaction that I recognized him and he nodded and smiled. What he did not know is that I have read every book, article, watched every television show and appearance. He was a class act and I will miss his writing and insight immensely. He slways revealed his pride as a father and I wish you peace.
Posted by Donna Leftwich ~ 26\|Aug\|09

God bless you, Mr. Dunne. I have loved your books, stories, columns and interviews for most of my life. You gave me a glimpse into your life and into another world that may have been geographically close, but was a world away from mine. Your writing was always honest, entertaining and wonderfully open. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dominick, I always looked forward to your Vanity Fair column and eagerly read it the minute I received each issue. I'll miss your insider knowledge and nuggets of gossip. Like you, I'm restarting my career after years of success followed by self destruction that has evolved into advocacy. You've given me hope that it can be done with panache. I know you went straight into Dominique's arms, what a reunion it must have been. Cheers to you, thank you for everything and put in a good word for the rest of us left behind. x

I will always have fond memories of a man who spoke the truth. I know he did what very few could accomplish. His passion through his personal life was justice and I believe he wanted others to get justice for there own personal life. I will remember him for that. I hope that his program will continue to air under a different talk show host. There were many life lessons to be learned through those shows. I know you are with your family now Dominick resting in our Lords kingdom sharing justice with God. I know he will have an important role in heaven. May the best come to him yet!!!!!

"I would have slipped an envelope full of money over a table in South Philly", my dad said. He was pointing me towards the strength of Mr. Dunne's character. That was my introduction to Dominick Dunne. I never met or spoke to him, but like so many others, I felt like I knew him. I'll miss more than that neat and tidy look and that accent from the 'swells'. Your frankness and sense of fair play applied to everyone. It ran through your articles in Vanity Fair and was the recurrent theme of your Crime Channel show. Justice. Losing you is heartbreaking and I can only imagine the loss to your family. You (all) are in my prayers today. Farewell, Mr. Dunne.

My girlfriend and I love watching Power, Priviledge and Justice. We are enthralled by each new episode, and we are saddened that due to his passing on this, my mother's 75th birthday, that we will not see any episodes written, produced and narrarated by him. He was one class act, and he knew what really was and is going on. As far as I am concerned, the world lost one heck of a classy person. May he rest in peace.

Brilliant, vibrant literary genius. I own a signed copy of almost every book he wrote, and I will read them again, and again.

Posted by Kate ~ 26\|Aug\|09

I met Mr. Dunne at a book signing in Minneapolis, just before he went to California to cover the trial of the Menendez brothers. At the time, his fame was yet to come; he sat alone at a table with perhaps one or two people in the store, buying his books and having them autographed. He seemed a little shy, alone, but so elegant and so willing to talk and answer questions. Following the Simpson trial, it is hard to ever imagine Mr. Dunne alone again. I've followed his articles in Vaniity Fair, and read all his books. Will we ever see his last novel, the update to People Like Us? He will be so very missed.
Posted by Kay Roseland ~ 26\|Aug\|09

I so enjoyed all the Mr. Dunne wrote and will miss his diaries and books. He introduced me to a lifestyle I will never have and showed that although someone is wealthy, they are, many times, not living an enviable life. Mr. Dunne is respected for his body of work, as well as all he did for the victims of crime.
Posted by Janet ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Very sad to read the news that Mr. Dunne passed away. I met Mr. Dunne during the Menendez trial in Los Angeles and had a chance to tell him how much I loved his books and articles.

Dear Family of Dominick Dunne, How terribly sad that such a voice for justice and family devotion has been stilled. I have read and been inspired by Mr. Dunne's work for years, beginning with the Two Mrs. Grenville's, and continuing with his Vanity Fair pieces. I was unable to watch the O.J. Simpson trial, or anything about him after the lives scenes of him as he was escaping in his 4x4 on the L.A. freeway, as Simpson, and the media circus sickened me to my bones. However, Dominick Dunne's Vanity Fair coverage I read entirely, aware that this was the work of a highly estimable being. He restored the public's outlook to one of sense and sanity. Mr. Dunne was a beacon of hope for truth and goodness.

Rest in Peace Mr. Dunne
Posted by Magdalena ~ 26\|Aug\|09

This is such a sad day for me. I loved your work--books, magazines, television. The highlight of my day would be to get the newest edition of Vanity Fair in the mail and see that one of your articles was in it. I wouldn't even make it into the house before I was reading it--many times I have been found sitting on the driveway or in my car delighting in the tales you told. You will be missed greatly.
Posted by Linda ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Rest in peace my friend. My heart and prayers go out to the family. Been a fan of yours for a long time Dominick loved your articles in Vanity Fair only reason why I bought the magazine. Truthfully out of all the famous people in world you would be on top of the list to meet, because of the time period you grew up in and the history that you saw in Hollywood. Where ever you are hope you write about them and they will enjoy it as much as we did.

What a sad day. Mr. Dunne was my absolute favorite writer. I have all of his books, read all of his articles in Vanity Fair, etc...May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family. Now who is there that could possibly attempt to continue the spirit of his good works? I can think of no one. We've lost a true American Icon today. So sad.
Posted by Richard Stewart ~ 26\|Aug\|09

To lose two great people on the same day burns my heart. "Power, Privilege, and Justice" is one of my favorite shows. I always looked forward to seeing it. I don't know what the show will do now because Dominick can't be replaced. I will miss his matter of fact way of speaking and his face that lent credit to the stories he told. To his family, others close to him and other fans my condolences. His death as that of E. Kennedy sadly ends an era. He will be missed.
Posted by Carol ~ 26\|Aug\|09

I've loved reading all of Mr. Dunne's columns in recent years. How I will miss him! I am left with deep feelings of sadness, yet great gratitude for his work. Thank you, Dominick, for enriching our lives!

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Mr. Dunne's passing. He was one of my favorite writers and the main reason I subscribed to Vanity Fair. You could always count on a truthful report from him as he covered celebrity trials and managed to convey his thoughts to his readers in a personal way allowing them to feel like they were in the courtroom. He will be sorely missed.
Posted by J. Norman ~ 26\|Aug\|09

I was shocked and heartbroken to hear of Mr. Dunne's passing. I have been a huge fan for many, many years, having read all of his books (more than once) and subscribing to Vanity Fair mainly to read his column. I have followed his televison show and and so enjoyed his accounts of the lavish parties and events he attended. His trial coverage was amazing. The world will be hard pressed to find another writer such as him. God Bless Mr. Dunne and his family.

Dominick Dunne's stories in VF took the reader to another place, another time and to a level of intrigue that was fascinating. He'll be sorely missed.
Posted by Pam ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Dominick Dunne was a hero of mine and I am saddened to learn of his passing. His painfully honest biography made a real impression on me when I read it a few years ago. He was someone who hit bottom and had the courage and fortitude to come back all the way. To use a show business term (in Dominick's honor) he had one of the greatest "second acts" in history. RIP Mr. Dunne.
Posted by Bruce Armstrong ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Dominick... Now the guest of honour at God's table. I wish I could have met you in person to tell you how much your books and articles engaged me. The world you wrote about was fascinating. No one, NO ONE, wrote about high society like you did. Only through you could a regular guy like me get a glimpse of what it was like to attend the dinners and coctail parties of the rich and famous. You seemed like such a great guy to hang out with. You must have been otherwise why did so many influential people keep inviting you to their homes? You dressed with panache, you were elegant, interesting, and you had real depth to your personality. I could tell from your insights into other people. I really feel bad for Griffin. His dad was a stand-up guy.
Posted by Randal ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Our condolences to Dominicks Dunnes family and friends. Years ago, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Dunne at his home in CT. My husband Brian and his boss at the time Rick, were doing some carpentry work for him. My husband came home and asked me if I knew who he was. I was like, are you kidding me? He is one the the best authors on the planet. He also autograpehed one of his books for me, which I treasure to this day. My husband had to stop at this home one day and drop something off. We had our two sons with us at the time. We stayed in the car and he went to the door. The next thing I know, Mr. Dunne, in a flannel shirt and knee high boots, is telling us to get out of the car and come in the house. This man was so wonderful to our sons and myself. He was showing us around his home. For someone so famous, he was the most humble person. I could have sat and talked to him all day. That incredible mind and that voice. We have lost a fantastic author and person. I will be buying his book when it comes out in December. I will miss his writing very much. A very gracious man.

You will be Truely missed. My condolences go out to the family and friends. I don't think that Court TV can replace you. You are " One Of A Kind "
Posted by Zain Nelson ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Dominick Dunne was one of the very few writers who chronicled news events without a directive, agenda, or fear. And besides that, his writing has a slightly cynical flair toward the arrogant and selfish that makes his stories uniquely pleasing to read. Never another man like him.
Posted by C.J. ~ 26\|Aug\|09

I was afraid of this day since Dominick Dunne's column has been absent from 'Vanity Fair' for months now. The magazine just won't be the same and the world just won't be the same. There will never be anyone to replace him. At least he'll be able to be with Lenny and Dominique again. RIP, DD - you will be missed.
Posted by Margaret Barrett ~ 26\|Aug\|09

Dear Dominick, I wish I had known before now that you had a website--I never thought to check. I wish I had sent you a message to thank you and let you know how much enjoyment I got from your work over the years. You seemed like such a wonderful man, your family and friends were very lucky to have you in their lives. I will miss you. Marji

My whole family is so sorry to hear of Mr. Dunne's passing. He was a one-of-a-kind gentleman who left a legacy of wonderful stories for people to enjoy for generations to come. When I read 'The Way We Were Then', I was filled with such a sense of pride for his accomplishments in the face of great challenges. I have always admired his spirit and wit and will certainly miss his presence in the literary world. I hope that the whole Dunne family knows that millions of people, worldwide, join you in mourning the passing of this wonderful man and in celebrating his amazing life and legacy.

I have been a fan of Mr. Dunne's work for many years. I saw how he used the tragedy of the loss of his Daughter to push himself to fight for victim's rights. My first thought at the news of Mr. Dunne's passing was how sad I was for MYSELF as a fan of his. My second thought wat that Mr. Dunne will be happily reunited with his sweet Daughter and his ex-wife / friend Lenny. I'm also glad that Mr. Dunne lived long enough to see OJ Simpson go to jail (even if it was for the robbery charge in Las Vegas).
Posted by Donna ~ 26\|Aug\|09

I was very sorry to learn of Mr. Dunne's passing today. I have been an avid reader of his column in Vanity Fair for years. Knowing that he was over 80 years old, I felt that the column must come to an end soon. When he had stopped appearing, I was not surprised but hoped he might resume it. I remember his sadness when his brother died. I hope Mr. Dunne was heartened by the knowledge of how he delighted people over the years with his anecdotes. I can remember few novels that held me in thrall like "Another City, Not My Own." I wish I could have met him at a party. My deep condolences to his children.

I could not get enough of your clever writing, insights, amazing connections and fascinating personality. I so missed reading your wonderful pieces these past many months and am heartbroken that you have lost your long battle with cancer. You fought hard to the end and will be universally missed. You were truly an original and ironic that you passed on the same day as Ted Kennedy...two amazing men that gave the world so much in different ways...you are both one of kind and irreplaceable.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father. I have read all his books, and recently viewed the documentary, 'After the Party', which moved me to tears.

As a young boy growing up in Australia, Vanity Fair magazine always arrived many months out of date (still does), but I devoured Dominick’s words – from his first article in November 1982 through to his last in October 2008. He was a truly inspirational writer who will be missed for a long time to come.
Posted by Josh from Australia ~ 26\|Aug\|09

When I heard that Ted Kennedy had died I wasn't too surprised, as I knew since he missed his sister's funeral a couple of weeks ago that he must be in truly grave condition. When I heard just now that Dominick Dunne had passed away, I was completely shocked and saddened as I didn't realize he was ill. Whenever I watch "Power, Privilege, and Justice" his sweet face never seemed to match his sharp-tongued commentary -- and it always made me think of Farrah, as she said in her recent special it was one of her favorite shows. Really a sad day for the good guys.

Dear Family and Friend's, I would like to express my sincere sadness in the passing of Mr. Dunne. I have truly enjoyed his stories and TV show.

A much-needed voice for victims has been silenced. While others focused on the criminal, Mr. Dunne made sure that nobody ever forgot the victims of horrible crimes that sometimes went largely unpunished. There is simply no one like him, but we can help carry on his legacy by always speaking out on injustices and the travesties of the legal system. Thank you, Mr. Dunne, for being such a champion of victims. Your words will live forever.

I have loved the Dunne family ever since I saw "Poltergeist" in 1982 and then was stunned and devastated by the murder of Dominique Dunne. I am so very sad today for the loss of Dominick, but at the same time I know the first face he saw was that of his beautiful daughter, for whom he grieved for so many years. I know he is as happy as can be with her and with his former wife, Lenny. My prayers are with Griffin, Alex & Hannah tonight.

I was so sorry to hear of Dominick Dunne's passing. How I will miss him. The only reason I ever read Vanity Fair was to read his true crime column. He was SO smart, such a very good writer and he knew just everyone! I loved that his column was so filled with names, big names. He rubbed elbows with the best. I wrote to Dominick just a couple of months ago to complain that my Vanity Fair had once again arrived without a written word from him. He write back to say he would have a column in the Sept issue. When I got that issue, saw that he wasn't in it - well, I felt my heart sink a bit.

To the Dunne Family: I am horribly grieved at the loss of the great Mr. Dunne. I first became acquainted with him after I read "The Two Mrs. Greenvilles" and I followed his Vanity Fair column, all of his books, his tv show,and his talk show appearences. I have been batedly awaiting his new book. However, although I am assured it shall contain the same great Dunne charm as all of his writing, I shall be reading it with large tears in my eyes knowing his voice has now been silenced. The world has lost, with his passing, a strong crime victim supporter, a supber writer, and one heck of an interesting guy. Bless each of you in your time of grief and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Anne Carson Hodges Winston-Salem, NC

I am extremely saddened by the passing of a great man. I loved watching him in Power Priviledge and Justice. He was a great orator and had great fire and spirit. There will never be another like him. My condolences to his family and friends. Crystal Texas

I am so sorry to hear this news. I'm a big fan of Dominick and his books. I love his TV show PP&J.; He always exposed the truth about the rich and privilaged. Those stories on his show would get me so angry when justice wasn't served. I felt the same way when his daughter didn't get justice. How that man who killed her could just go on with his life. The gall!! I hear he has one more book coming out and has a DVD. I will be getting both. RIP Dominick. There won't be another one like you.

Darn. I didn't know you had a website of your own. The main reason I subscribed to Vanity Far was for your articles. It was with great sadness that I read of your passing. RIP Dominick! Sincere condolences to your family.

I long admired your work and what you stood for, which was justice for innocent victims, who often had no voice, but you were their voice. Rest in peace Dominick, you are now with your beautiful Daughter...

I was so sad today to hear of Mr. Dunns' passing. I enjoyed so much his columns in Vanity Fair and would faithfully await them every month. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.

Today is a very sad day. Dominick, you were my favorite author and I always check to see if you have a new book out! May you rest in peace and be with Lenny and Dominque!

Ive been a fan since your first article in VF and you will be truly missed. Rest in peace.....

We have just learned of Mr. Dunne's passing on this, already, sad day. The death's of Sen. Kennedy and Mr. Dunne on the same day is indeed ironic, I think ... both achieved greatness in their lives and yet remind us that we all are imortial. My aging uncle loves every word he wrote and couldn't wait until the next issue of Vanity Fair to read more of his good work. His duty and service to his country serve as a benchmark for today's youth to strive for. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and to his many, many fans. Thanks for the memories!

Hi Dominick, I am one of your fans I love your shows your personality and how you organize things as they are. And i believe that you are genius and genuenly person. Somehow i like to be a person like you and I also like to watch your programs, but I cannot afford because of not having enough money to buy the bill of the tv caple. I am still student, so is there anyway that i can watch your full videos of power privilege and justice other than the tv.

DEAR DOMINICK: AS AN AVID READER, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOMEHOW, I HAVE MISSED READING YOUR BOOKS. I PLAN TO REMEMDY THAT BY READING THEM ALL THIS WINTER. I SO APPRECIATE YOU AND THE FACT THAT YOU DO NOT LOWER THE BAR, WITH REGARD TO CRIME AND THAT YOU ARE A VOICE OF REASON IN THIS OFT TIMES CRAZY WORLD. YOUR TV SHOW IS MY FAVOURITE AND I THANK YOU FOR THE PLEASURE OF WATCHING IT. I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR ILLNESS AND WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS. I WISH YOU STRENGTH AND HOPE AND COURAGE! I HESITATE ASKING YOU A QUESTION OR DOING ANYTHING THAT MIGHT TAX YOU. BUT PERHAPS GIVING YOUR MIND TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN GETTING WELL, MAY BE A NICE ESCAPE. AS A CAPOTE FAN (MY DAUGHTER SAYS I AM PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE THAT KEEPS A FRAMED PICTURE OF TRUMAN ON MY NIGHTSTAND, RATHER THAN ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS!) I ADMIRE HIS SOUTHERN WRITING, CERTAINLY NOT HIS LIFE-CHOICES. I KNOW HE SENT YOU A NOTE AFTER YOUR DAUGHTER'S DEATH WHEN YOU WANTED TO FADE AWAY, AND ENCOURAGED YOU TO KEEP WRITING, I KNOW I SPEAK FOR MANY WHEN I SAY I'M SO GLAD HE DID! IS THERE ANY TIDBIT THAT YOU CAN SHARE ABOUT TC THAT PERHAPS I HAVEN'T READ? AGAIN, PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU! HAVE TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES AND HEARTS AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR! GIFT OF WORDS.

Mr. Dunne, Thank you for you continued work on my favorite show, PP&J.; I am thrilled that the 2009 season has begun to air. I have learned that you have not been well. Your hard work and obvious love for what you do is very much appreciated and admired. With heartfelt wishes for a full recovery, Lana Goldberg

Dear Mr. Dunne, or Nick as I've read. This is the first time I have ever written to anyone of your fame and status. I started reading your articles for V.F. in the mid-'90's and have consumed all that you've written since! I can not convey how much respect I have for you. My husband is/was in the film business, so I've had a glimpse of your life. Every one has their own suffering and pain; thank G-d for the world you were able to come out of it after the cabin in Oregon. I gave birth to a mentally-ill son, and as a result, a husband in denial with 'dependencies'. Your story is one for mankind. Survival. It would be easy to quit, it seems much harder to keep fighting! But, that is what you've done, and you're still fighting. I'm so glad I have found you. Remember, there are countless lives that you have touched, intentionally or not, so keep fighting! With fondest regards! Joy Massin

Like everyone else who has posted a message to you - I am a big fan and have been since first reading "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles" years ago. I wish you a return to good health and will keep you in my prayers as you continue your treatments. "Visualize the outcome . . ." Take care, Liz DeLaRossa
Posted by Liz DeLaRossa ~ 22\|Aug\|09

Love your show. Just wish I had started watching it sooner in life. Very interesting and it keeps my ears and eyes glued to the set. Do you have any info on Wendy Barrie? I knew her in the 1950's and was on her television talk show on the old Dumont network. She treated me like a son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Be well. Mark

Dear Mr. Dunne, I have followed you since I could read. I am 41 years old now. My twelve year old daughter Melody has enjoyed following your writing and your life story. Of course, she was touched and distraught over everything with your lovely, Dominique. I wanted to share with you what a pleasure it has been to enjoy your writing (I think I have read every word possible) and to introduce my child to your writing. Thank you for all your wonderful words and your pursuit of justice on so many fronts. Best wishes for your health and happiness, Kim Kotars Chicago, IL

I'm so glad to see Power, Privilege and Justice on television again and I'm looking forward to reading your lastest book. You're such an insightful and articulate writer! Here's wishing you success with your treatments! I look forward to more great books and the continuation of your TRuTV series.

I am so very sorry to hear that you have been ill and hope you are feeling better soon. I am a cancer survivor myself and wish you my thoughts and prayers.

Take care and hope to see you back in VF soon. You are one of my favorites! Judy Ray, Dallas Texas

Hello Mr. Dominick Dunne, It's been a few months since I have written you. I was grateful for the responses that I received from your assistant. I was so hoping you were back in the swing of things, as I have seen spots on tv for your A&E; show lately. I continue looking forward to your latest book in December. I am a voracious reader of all your works. Your story about being in the German clinic and near Farrah was very touching. I watched her documentary with great interest. As always, I send you my love and think about you often. You are a wonderful talent and I have always enjoyed your works. You are truly a gifted gentleman. Sincerely yours, Karen Prescott, a Houston fan. ;))
Posted by Karen Prescott ~ 20\|Aug\|09

I have really missed your musings in Vanity Fair. I even emailed the magazine to ask why you were not contributing your observations the past few months. Today, I decided to google your name and I have my answer -you have been ill. I have read all your books, your articles in Vanity Fair, and watched your TV show. So I wish you better health and I am looking forward to your new book. I believe your sense of justice in America is correct - the villains get too much consideration and the victims never enough. Take Care. Kath Chan

I was very sorry to hear of your illness and send my best for your speedy recovery. I've just finished Justice; Another City, Not My Own; and re-read An Inconvenient Woman for the third time.

Just wanted you to know, I was not raised like any of the charachters in your books, but your writing has given me an insight to a world previously undiscovered.

Dear Mr. Dunne; Your writing has been a lively, piercing, honest and at times hysterical counterpoint to our life and times...adding richness to all of our lives. I became aware of you and your talent while growing up in Los Angeles and following the careers of your talented children.

Dominick, just finished "Justice" and thought it was fantastic. I'm a lawyer with a heavy federal criminal defense practice but I very much appreciate your help of victims and their families. I love and support the Constituition but victims and the family that loves them should never be forgotten or left out of the justice system. You're the best and keep writing! Bill

I LOVE YOU DOMINIC FOR ALWAYS LOVE FROM NORMA NOVELLI XX
Posted by NORMA NOVELLI ~ 15\|Aug\|09

I've been wanting to write yo for a long time. I first noticed you at the O.J. trial and was so impressed with your candor and honesty. Through the tragic loss of your daughter, you have an amazing ability to express your empathy for victims to the world. I've followed you since, with subsequent trials, tv appearances and your series on TRU TV. You just seem so genuine amid so much insanity. THANK YOU! Best of luck with your health, I was saddened to hear of your illness. It would be a thrill to meet you. Leslie Harker

Vanity Fair remains my favourite magazine BUT with a dark cloud over every edition in which your contributiom is not included. Please, please get getter quickly, finish the book (which I also can hadly wait for) and come back to your fans on a monthly basis. We miss you so.
Posted by Barbara Madren ~ 13\|Aug\|09

Dear Mr Dunne, I've read your column in Vanity Fair for many years, and was most saddened to hear you have cancer. But reading this website, I'm cheered that you are such a valiant fighter. I pray for your complete recovery, but equally important, that each day you have is as good as possible. You have given me so much pleasure and information. As someone who has also lost much over the years, but equally believes that living can be as rich and fulfilling as I work to make it, I do value knowing you are in the world. My very best wishes. Fondly, Nancy
Posted by Nancy Wolff ~ 12\|Aug\|09

Dominick, I think about you often and I am praying for your recovery. I have all your books and I've re-read them several times, they're so good. You are able to make a social/cultural world that is unfamiliar to most of us clear and interesting. I'm thrilled that a new one, Too Much Money, will be published soon. I'm confident that it will be as witty and insightful as your previous books. I hope you will be able to write for Vanity Fair again. Love and best wishes, Barbara

Mr Dunne, Down here in Australia, my daughter and i eagerly read your books. I do find it difficult to find your books here though. Why is that? You write just how we think! Your sense of justice is like ours and you cut through any bullshit and say it like it truly is. I think you would make a very good Judge :) Justice would actually happen! I believe you are a very good person and wish you all the best with your treatments. Kindest regards, Julie

Hi Dominick! You and your family are in my prayers. Would like you to know that there is a KTLA message board and during the last O.J. trial you were often spoken of with great love. Take care and blessings!
Posted by Betty ~ 10\|Aug\|09

Mr. Dunne I am so sorry you are unwell and pray that the treatments will work and that you will be feeling better. Other than to wish you well I am writing with a question. We lost our 21 year old son in a tragic way (stabbed in the neck while helping defuse a fight) just as you lost your beloved daughter. I started out wanting to write an article about our experience, the trial, etc but it grew and grew and I was encouraged to "just write" and take it from there. My question is what does one do with a "book" (it will be about 100 pages I think) when one is done? I do not believe I can make a career of writing but have written from the heart and would like to share his story. If you are up to it I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me. Everything you find online is on how to self publish and is very confusing. This was the only way I could find to try and contact you and I appreciate your time, Erin, Orange County, CA
Posted by Erin ~ 07\|Aug\|09

Mr. Dunne.. So glad for the opportunity to tell you how much I have enjoyed your work. Trollope,Wharton,Fitzgerald,Capote. Dunne No one working today tells a story the way you do. I was hooked after "The Two Mrs.Grenvilles"Even got the Braudy book..(She owes you one)The whole Capote tie in was the stuff of Drama. I've eagerly anticipated each new work of yours since then,and word of a new book is an event for me.I even got "The Winners" off Amazon. I'm so grateful for your talent...You are to reading for me what Joni Mitchell is to music.In some way a lifelong companion.My best to you..

Hi Dominick, Sending many blessings your way today and every day.... Just a thought & suggestion: whenever I come to your website I see that awful picture of Phil Spector. I'd rather see a picture of your lovely daughter and/or son. Seeing Spector just makes me ill :(

Posted by Andrea ~ 07\|Aug\|09

Dominick, haven't check in recently to see how you are doing, I'm saddened you are feeling unwell, but glad you have the option of returning to Germany. I hope as I write this message, your treatments are going successfully, and you soon recover in body and spirit. Cancer is a roller coaster ride, unless you have the dark intimacy of having it as your companion, one simply cannot imagine. I wish you well, you lovely, Irish Devil. All The Very Best! Maire

Dominick: I find you are on my mind continuously - I am worried about you and praying for you. It sounds as if you are doing all you can to take good care of yourself....I want to know you are in the world "creating and sharing yourself" in that wonderful way that you can do so well. We need heroes! and I trust God has many more exciting things for you to do in the future to enlighten and encourage the rest of us. You are an inspiration we need. We have always been able to trust you to "tell it exactly like it is," whatever the fall-out may be. A rarity for sure. Much love and respect going out to you - and obviously, from so many of us.

Reading your articles is like reading a fascinating letter from an old friend. You really connect with your reader! I am praying for you and hope you feel much better soon.

Dear Mr. Dunne, Sorry to hear that you have been feeling less than your best. Hope this treatment is as effective as the others have been & that you return to CT feeling energized. I would love to tell you a joke to cheer you up but the only polite one I know is one from my 5 yr. old nephew. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men had scrambled eggs for breakfast again. Best wishes for feeling better, on your way to your best, very very soon. PB

Your contributions to Vanity Fair have been missed! When I heard you were ill, I was very sad and have wondered how you've been. Just today I stumbled on your website. I've got to admit relief to find you're still very much in the game. All the best to you from a fan!
Posted by Paula ~ 05\|Aug\|09

Dear Mr. Dunne, I am very sorry to read on this site that you are not well. I don't know the details of your illness, but do hope that you will recover. I am one of your millions of fans but do not write in that capacity today. I know the world is filled with unsolved murders, and each soul taken through violence deserves justice. But, there are some cases which gain prominence for whatever reason, and just don't go away. I write of the 1970's murder of Sharon Enea in Westchester County, which has remain unsolved. Urban legend in these parts has always conjectured that the high-level profiles of certain individuals known to the victim played no small part in a failure to find the murderer. I would ask, if you have a spare moment, that you "google" this case to provide some background. You will be lead to blogging comments which will give you an idea of the circumstances surrounding Ms. Enea's death, which is still a topic of discussion today, and may still have a chance to be solved. Thank you for your time, Mr. Dunne.

Hi Mr. Dunne, So sorry to hear of your illness, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Even before I knew we shared the Canterbury experience, I have been a fan of yours.

Dear Mr. Dunne, I am so pleased to find a place that I could express my gratitude for the comfort of your words no matter what the subject. In telling the world wide experiences you have, we hear about some very difficult to imagine events. Nevertheless, you express them always with your gentlemans manners. I never close a chapter feeling bad, I noticed that a long time ago. I love that I know your voice from your program and interviews and have seen the kindness in your eyes. It makes reading your words come to me in your voice. All of it soothing. I pray that there are people around you who are able to return that favor to you. I hope you are comfortable and know that so many of us love you. I am one of them. Please get well and stay with us. With gratitude and love, Linda

However, my Mama taught me much better manners than to address you in such a familiar manner! :-) I'm so sorry that you've been feeling unwell. I eagerly await your new book, not to mention your next VF article. I will turn "the big 5-0" in November. I always remember a line from your wonderful book "The Way We Lived Then", in which you speak of your time in the cabin in Oregon when you started writing. "And I was 50 years old". It's always given me a sense of hopefulness - that our second acts are sometimes our very best. Please know that you have inspired so many of us by your willingness to share the experiences of your life in such an honest and candid manner. Please keep up the fight! You need to stick around this place for quite a few more years. :-) With my sincere admiration and best wishes, Teri Hunter

I am just a subscriber to Vanity Fair and a fan of your books; such a good story teller. I just recently became aware that your son Griffin was the guy in one of my favorite movies "After Hours". It takes me a while to catch up, but he is hysterically funny. I miss your column and await the book. Keep up the good fight.

Camp Sherman always reminds me of your quiet place after a crazy world. My husband has seen you twice on the streets of NYC which isn't fair since I am the fan. Take good care of yourself Mr. Dunne, there are many people who want to hear more from you. Best wishes, Susan mentley Portland, Oregon

Mr. Dunne, I just watched the documentary of your life and enjoyed it very much. I have been a fan of yours for years, have often imagined gleefully the smile that must cross the faces of your dinner partners when they realize they are seated next to YOU – how delicious! – and have long been inspired by your fortitude, resilience, and determination. When others might have quit, you have forged on. I, too, miss reading your monthly columns in Vanity Fair. When it gets to be too much, I pick up my copy of The Way We Lived Then, my favorite of all of your books. You are a writer for our times; thank you for showing us that it is never too late to reinvent yourself or forge a new life. Blessings to you and your family.

Hello Nick - 'Off Colour' you may be... but a great fella you always are. Just read that Charles Manson wants to 'collaborate with Phil Spector. Ain't it a strange old world? You take it easy, enjoy Hadlyme, and reflect on the guts of that kid at the Battle of the Bulge. The best is yet to come. We're all with you every step of the way.

Dearest Mr. Dunne, The Fringe Performing Arts Festival is about to open here in Minneapolis. My husband is the co-writer/actor/director of a satire of 1950s boys adventure novels. We would like to invite you as our guest, (hey, we're talking a comp ticket worth $16!!). That, and all the hospitality our mundane townhouse and extremely limited culinary skills can afford. There, I did it! I just gave Dominick Dunne the lamest social invitation of his life!! (Is there an emoticon for sheer glee?) But it is given in heartfelt respect and appreciation. Wishing you health, strength and joy, The English Scrimshaw family

Dominick Dunne: A return 'hello' to you and your ass't., Kirsty. (I first posted on 7/19/09). Based on your last blog entry it sounds as though you remain ever-busy but perhaps needing healing rest and the wonders of a night well-slept! Allow me to share with you two nighttime poems written by a 'certain poet' that may entertain your stirring mind. What is it that makes a kite fly through a most starmonious night? Is it a string of moonbeam tight- ly drawn between the earth and sky? Or a wayward wind, whose breezy blow, invisable to waking eye would seem to float the thing? I think instead it is a thread of man's untangled dream, I said. I think instead it is a thread of man's untangled dream. * * * FULL MOon, almost. -Linda Z.

I was curious if you ever considered doing a story about a trial that was closely covered while I was growing up in NY about a woman named Alice Crimmons? I would be interested in how modern forensic science would investigate it now? What was your feeling about it during the investigation? I think you are terrific...thank you. Maureen Alavi

I wanted to send you a note to let you know that you very well may have saved my life as well as that of my twin sister. It seems like a lifetime ago in New York City when I read that article in People magazine about Sweeney. It never said if he had been released or not..My sister had become involved with a chef in NY that began to exhibit very upsetting and strange behavior. He was very smooth and charming at first and then became increasingly bizarre. I ended up evicted from my apartment and fired from my job because of all the scenes he would cause. I remember trying to locate you on both coasts through my connections to see if you could tell me if Sweeney had been released or not. My sister's boyfriend looked so much like him it was uncanny. I finally looked you up in the phone book and you told me to ring back that you would make a call to see if he had in fact been released. When we spoke again you told me that he had not been let out yet but I will never forget what you said to me,"Don't make the mistake of not taking it seriously and to get as far away from him as possible". We never went back to her apartment on the ground floor of 72nd and Amsterdam as I was afraid he would through a bomb through the window. He always said that if he could not have her, no one could. Being her twin made it just as frighting for me as well. You will never know how grateful and relieved I was to hear your voice on the other end of the phone that cold day in New York. You saved two lives that day. I thank you for that. I have also known great loss of life. My Mother was part of the Jet Set crowd in Acapulco in the 60's and 70's where we were raised as children. She threw parties for Hef and Freddie Fields was a frequent house guest. She was larger than life and she lived her life to the fullest. She wasn't afraid of anything. her advice to me when I was a young girl was to marry a Jew and and have an Italian lover and I would always be happy! I a very intuitive and I knew 2 years before it happened that she was going to be murdered. I begged those that knew where she was to tell me how to contact her but I was refused the information. Almost 2 years to the day I received the phone call not from my sister, but from the proscuters office that she had been stabbed to death. I live with it even now knowing that I could never change what was to be her fate. You are truly blessed that your beautiful daughter had the chance to tell you how much she loved you. I never had the chance to tell my mother how much I loved her or even goodbye. I never had the chance to thank her for all the years she stood by my side and fought with my doctor's for 8 years to save my life from a rare form of TB. She went from a life of glitter and glamor, racing cars in Mexico to being the champion at my beside that saved my life. We went from everything to less than nothing in a few short years. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. She will always be that beautiful creature that would float in and out of my early life in her beautiful gowns with the most handsome of men on her arm. I could tell you some stories! I guess I owe you both my life. Thank for picking up the phone that cold day in New York. That phone call saved my life. Nicolle

Mr. Dunne, I hope that you are well these days. Your always-fascinating work has had a significant influence on my own writing. I recently had the pleasure of reviewing "After the Party" for DVDTalk.com. The review is available here: https://dvdtalk.com/reviews/38010/dominick-dunne-after-the-party/.

Dear Mr. Dunne~ I think I TOO..share some of the same observations as, it appears, your number #1 fan on this website...'SUZY' Because I also think you are extremely charming and handsome. Not to mention intelligent, a sense of humor and integrity, ALL of which you embody. OH! Did I mention a heck-uv-a GENUIS amount of God given talent and creativity! Pretty darned sexy Mr. Dunne! (~S~m~i~l~e~) I'm 49....Seems the forty somethings have a thing for you! lol! Now, about your newest writings..I wait with baited breath!!! I was given..'IF I DID IT' for my birthday back in April. I wasn't sure I was ready to re-live O.J.....But was seriously glad I did! What a socia-path. What a horrifying, intriguing glimpse into the mind of darkness. The dupliciousness,and lies he told himself daily. I suppose it's the only way someone who is that lost can live with themself. Excellent insert by you and the Goldmans!! You both gave us soooo much insight! Gods perfect timing..that book and their receiving the rights to it.~ Fascinating! I appreciate I think MOST of all... your boldness to call a spade a spade. I think You and I share that trait. (Doesn't make for a lot of popularity at times! sigh!) But thats your integrity. Lovely... and nearly a lost precious trait in todays world. Well..I just wanted to make you SMILE today, and by the way, I JUST returned from a trip to Wallowa Lake and the Wallowa mountains in Eastern Oregon, where the air smells like sweet hay and the water is crystal clear and people look you in the eyes and sincerely smile. Truly Gods country. I DO hope you return someday dear-heart. kisses and hugs to you from April (niece of Glenn Strange the old hollywood actor) :)

I'm 30 years old and have gotten interested in writing/publishing and Journalism myself. I'm hopeing to get to meet you someday and get to talk with you.

Hello Dominick, I just turned on TruTv to see my favorite show your show and was just so happy to see your face. I wrote you awhile back to find out how you were doing and to let you know I have prayed for your well being. You are just such a selfless wonderful human being and just knowing you are back has made me very happy. I will continue to pray for your good health because you are just such a Crusader against evil and for that I am forever grateful. I love you and continue to pray for you.

Mr. Dunne, I have loved everything you have written. When I see you have an article in Vanity Fair, I drop everything to read what you have written. My husband puts up with me, knowing how I want to watch your show. Even if I have seen the show, I want to see it again, as you do a remarkable job of reporting the facts. I agree with you, Farah Fawcett deserved time on Larry King. It is sad sensationalism is put in front of heroism. Perhaps at one point, Farah will get the recognition she deserves. Thank you for all you have done these many years. The tragic story of your daughter's death and the ludicrous sentence of her killer affected me, becoming aware how our justice system does not bring justice to the victim. In spite of your sorrow, you have brought justice to many, through your excellent writing of the sorrow others have faced. Thank you, thank you! Marie Morrison

Mr. Dunne, The internet doesn't offer enough space to tell you how much I admire you. I'm a cancer survivor and 17 years in remission. You can do it to! I am working with Burke's Law star Gary Conway on a possible Vanity Fair article covering that show and the unbelieveable list of guest stars he worked with. Any interest in writing it? Contributing? No one but you could bring the focus, fun and glamour that show had in that very special time. Mr. Conway has a wealth of knowledge and is excited about doing something with VF. My involvement began as writing an installment in a TV car book and including the Burke's Law Rolls. This show is too unique and historic for just a car book! Anyway, I thought I'd go to the ultimate writer on these topics of stars, mid 1960s culture, Aaron Spelling and the fun that Burke's Law provided. Let me know if there's a chance you might want to work with Gary. Tab Hunter would happily comment on his guest star shot in the first season! Again, thank you so much for the many years of pleasure your brilliant insight and writing has provided. You are a hero of mine. Best Wishes, Mark Maloy

Watched the wonderful documentary about your life yesterday. Have been singing its praises to all. I've been a fan of yours forever, and what a joy to be let into your world even just a bit. I was so moved by your personal journey, with its ups and downs and joys and unimaginable loss and grief, and your incredibly candid reflections thereof. And as someone who loves stories of Hollywood, Hollywood Babylon, and the rich and famous, it was for me, simply delicious. Especially enjoyed the revelation regarding Truman Capote. :) So looking forward to your next book. Kudos to the filmmakers!

Dear Mr. Dunne, I was encouraged to read that you are receiving stem cell treatment that is making you feel better. I saw a report recently about the incredible stem cell work that is being done right here in North Carolina at the Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine in Winston-Salem, NC. If you have not investigated their work, please do. They have actually been able to use stem cells to grow new bladders that have been transplanted into patients. I know that this is a very forward thing to suggest to you, since I don't know you or anything about your medical condition, but I place such a great value on you and your contributions to the literary world, that anything I might know of or be able to suggest that might help you feel better is worth a breach of etiquette. I am eagerly awaiting the publication of your newest book. Most sincerely, Nancy Cox

Dear Mr. Dunne: I have just watched "After the Party." So interesting and well done I think. I spent over 40 years in Hollywood as head of Marketing, Publicity and Advertising for 3 major studios.

Dear Mr. Dunne: Thank you for having the strength to battle your addictions and illnesses and still manage to find your true calling as a writer & victims' advocate. For all of the injustices that occur in the world, at least we have an occasional sense of satisfaction when you are in control of the situation as a writer. Thank you for sharing of yourself, your family, and your experiences. You and your work as a gift. As a lapsed Catholic, my prayers are open to the universe in hopes you (and we) find good health and peace. Best wishes, PB Sorry this may seem so sappy; LOVE the new title, Too Much Money.

Dominick Dunne: You are many things including a door and a bridge. A door that opens with keen observations...a style distinctly yours and a reflective ability to mirror both truth and fiction. As a bridge you so aptly connect the past to the present; peril to hope; our attention to your list of projects. There is a magazine I will buy for your column. I've got your new film in my Netflix queue. Dominick, you are also my link to a bygone time in Southern California. My mother came with 25 dollars in her pocket from Kansas to start a new life in Beverly Hills in the 1940's. She worked for (my godfather who owned) a Beverly Hills General Motors car dealership. At that time many of the big names in Hollywood serviced their automobiles there. I so enjoyed hearing her numerous (and sometimes humorous!) stories from life back then. I'm an avid reader, movie viewer and three year advanced cancer patient. I fight the fight to continue learning and enjoying my many interests. I also try to help others along the way. It would be a hoot to see a note from you. I sincerely wish you the very best as you continue your journey. -Linda Z.

hi Dominick. glad to hear the news on the eagerly awaited new book. whilst recently on vacation i reread Mansions of Limbo. i thought you might be interested to read about the follow up tp the so-called society wedding in Venice that was due to happen in 1990. the bride to be finally got her craved-for title--she is now countess of something or other--she married a real aetate agent in Melbourne with an"aristocratic" title. no news on the bridegroom to be. however the priest who was going to perform the rituals was actually jailed for over 10 years for child abuse. so as you can see, the sordid little tale continued.

Dear Mr. Dunne, I first read about you after the tragic murder of your beautiful daughter, Dominique. I have since read all your novels and articles in Vanity Fair. (It's the first thing I read in each issue). Ironically, in December 1996, my 17 year old son was murdered in Tampa, Florida by Clifford Jordan, a Dominos' pizza delivery man with an illegal handgun who was able to plead self defense (even though my son was unarmed). Our lives were shattered and I realized how important your work has been in fighting for real justice for the victims of violence. Your work has helped me bear my grief and influenced me to become an activist in gun control issues (Brady Campaign, Million Mom March, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, etc.) Thank you for your determination, integrity and deep,deep compassion.

Hello and what a lovely surprise that you have a site, blog and a message board. I live in Brazil and this past holiday weekend I was staying at friends and looking for something to read. Lo and behold I came upon a yellowed and falling apart paperback copy of The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. Needless to say I read avidly non-stop until I finished the book for it was soooooooooo good! Now, I was totally surprised by a reference in the end and I was wondering if you can still remember who the "Brazilian" lady was who appeared at the funeral and then came to Ann Woodward's apartment. My mother's name was Evelyn Brand, she was from São Paulo and Ann Woodward had befriended her and Fernanda Haffers around the last 5 years or so of her life. She had also made quite a few trips down here to hunt and just visit her new friends. I remember meeting Ann once or twice and my mother, who had an apartment in New York, told me that she and Ann saw each other every so often. Anyway, I loved your book and I know that you are now very busy writing another one about the Safra incident in Monte Carlo. Good luck with your work and if you remember whether the Brazilian lady was either a blonde (my mother) or a brunette, that would really help! Thanks a million, Margot Brand de Mattos Barretto

Hello, Mr. Dunne. I hope you are doing well and that your treatments are proving beneficial. I was wondering if your much-anticipated new novel, often referred to as "A Solo Act" has changed titles; I saw on your publisher's website that a book by you entitled "Too Much Money" is to be released in December 2009. Is this the new title? I can't wait to read it, and I can't wait to see you back in VF. You don't know how much I've missed your column. The best to you and your family.

Dear Mr. Dunne: I just finished re-reading "Justice: A Father's Account of the Trial of His Daughter's Killer." Your ability to write about the worst time in a father's life is extraordinary. I've recommended this work to a number of people who have been dealing with unspeakable loss, grief or fury - but who can't put their feelings into words. It has helped them. Thank you for this work and for all your other fine books. Take care, keep up the good fight. You are a hero.

You are a living legend, a bastion of old Hollywood, a member of the privileged jet set, all the while with the truly American sense of the common man. You have been our eyes and ears for some of the most scintillating and saddest chapters in 20-21st century history. You are an inspiration, a hero, a class act.

Please tell me anything you think would interest a bunch of women your age about the book, the family it was based on, what they're doing now and how you are.

Where can you get DVDs or VHF -- particularly of THE TWO MRS. GRENVILLES? I kept hoping there would be a TV movie DVD set come out, but if there is one, it has escaped me. I wish you the best in your treatment and pray for a speedy recovery for you. Best regards, Sandra Chroman PS I think it is a shame that Farrah is being so overlooked in all the Michael Jackson hype.

Dear Mr Dunne, I have just finished watching "After the Party" (I don't understand the Australian connection - perhaps more would be aware of it, if it had been made here). Nevertheless, I only have one thing to say to you: you are Worth something and ALWAYS have been. God bless you.
Posted by Susan ~ 03\|Jul\|09

Dear Mr. Dunne;I found you online...how sweet is this! I too wanted to express my appreciation for your writing and the sharing of your life thoughout the years. It has been a pleasure and an honour to read anything and everything you write...it brightens my day...even the crime stuff. My Dad had the same cancer that you have so I know you are fighting it right now...good luck with that. So often we don't hear how much we might mean to someone and I just wanted to share how much your gift has meant to me throughout the years all the way up in Canada!

Dear Mr. Dunne: My first "fan letter". I have always been curious as to why Gus Bailey was shot and killed in your novel. Like everyone else in the world, I would so like to sit and talk forever. Wishing you good health and peace. Nancy

Dear Mr Dunne: We haven't ever written a letter to an editor or to a celebrity, but when we look at your web site we are always moved. We have followed you for years. Can you imagine how many people who love you have never sent you a note? Here are two. Thanks and stay alive and well.

I have really missed your diary excerpts in vanity fair. i always used to read it first. even i don't know any of the people you write about, it feels that i am right in the room with you. you have a way of bringing these, ofter laughable, people to life. i hope you are feeling better and will continue to entertain us with your column. sincerely, Edna Peters

Hi Dominick, Just viewed your documentary and was so blown away by it. I'm 57 and I don't usually go to these lengths to congratulate however I just had to thank you so much. What a life ! Cheers Craig ( Australia )

We wondered why you were missing from the TV lineup. Sorry to learn from your message board that you have been ill. Hope for an early recovery and return to TV. Thank you for your past performances which brought us much pleasure!

A shout out again to one of my favorite people in the world! Question for you, D. I live in NC, have been to LA twice. I am totally captivated by Hollywood lore and read everything I can get my hands on about the "golden days" in particular. I know you love the city also. It seems to me the very soil and air is magical there...so much history, so much beauty and myth. So much agony and heartbreak. I want to leave my roots and my family and go die there! (I am 59 years old.) You totally understand me, don't you? I know you do.
Posted by Carol Jean Thomas ~ 27\|Jun\|09

I just love all your novels and have read and reread them since you started writing. I feel as if I know you through your books although I guess you hear your readers say that to you alot. I am looking forward to reading "Solo Act" and have been waiting for for the last few years. I hope you get well soon and have many more years of novel writing left in you. All the best. Susan
Posted by Susan Y ~ 26\|Jun\|09

Mr. Dunne, All the best wishes in the world for a successful recovery. I cannot wait for new episodes of your program on TruTV. You are a most spectacular person whom I could only dream to aspire to in my life. Truly Yours, John

Dear Dominick: I do so miss your stories...where are you? Hope you are doing well
Posted by Vickie ~ 24\|Jun\|09

Hi Dominick, I just finished reading Another City, Not My Own today. I didn't think I'd like it because I was one of the people who was "sick to death of hearing about OJ" LOL Needless to say, I loved it ! Well, except for the ending. I didn't want Gus Bailey to die :-( I have read all of your books except for The Winners, which I can't seem to find. I am looking forward to watching After The Party. Good luck in the Dominican Repubic. I really enjoy this site and your blogs.
Posted by Becky ~ 27\|Jun\|09

Dear Mr. Dunne, I think of you so often. Thank for giving us, your readers, such a front row view into parts of this life which we might have never seen or to which we might never had access. You raise us all up with your kindness, candor, eloquence and integrity. I admire you on so many levels. Thank you for showing us it is possible to be smart and successful and still be nice. There is no one like you. Kind regards, Ellen
Posted by Ellen ~ 24\|Jun\|09

Dominick--I was so happy to find this site! Have missed your columns in Vanity Fair--your fascinating insights on the rich and famous were the reason I subscribed to the magazine. Have read all of your books and am very much looking forward to your new one. Am very happy to hear about your cutting edge treatments. My father had bladder cancer in the 80's and just had conventional treatment. After seeing the special on Farrah Fawcett and now reading these posts, I'm curious if you both sought treatment at the same clinic? Please know there are so many people out there who've never met you, but keep you in their thoughts and prayers. Whenever I see a high profile trial, I think, "what would Dominick Dunne have to say?" You're such a great, outspoken victim's advocate. God Bless You.

bonjour mr dunne! vanity fair was incomplete without your writing; i am delighted to read that you will be returning to its pages soon. may your health continue to improve. merci for your talent and persevering quest for truth and justice. sante, lorraine
Posted by lorraine ~ 23\|Jun\|09

I received my After the Party DVD yesterday, and watched it twice. Loved it. I was especially interested in the comment you had made during the making of Ash Wednesday with regard to what would be said about the history of the making of the movie. How much of the Frankie Bozacci character was Jean-Claude Tramont, and how much Gardner McKay? I remember your comment that it is a horrible thing to know someone's family secrets, so I imagine that Frankie's prior profession was not Jean-Claude's, (BUT I guess it could have been Jack's)and anyway, that would be his secret, not his family's. Will you somehow refer to this family secret in your new book? Can you point me in the direction of where I can research the Babette Van Degan character? Does one of the Rockerfellers exist in her composite? In 1999 I read where William Woodward III committed suicide by defenestration, and was shocked that his life ended as did his paralell composite character in your book. I later was able to identify Kim Portago in that composite. Then I was really blown away. (Although it does seem to be a common way for New Yorkers to commit suicide) I am so looking forward to your new book, and check ABE Books daily hoping to be able to snag an advanced copy. I realize your health issues may curtail your activities for sometime, but if you're ever in Dallas lecturing, or promoting your book, I will make it a point to be there. I wish you many more happy and productive years. I feel the critical recognition will follow shortly, and I wonder if it has not yet surfaced BECAUSE your popluar acclaim is through the roof, and critics like to be seen as set apart from the masses with a "higher" set of standards. Oh, and before I forget, thank you so much for disabusing me of the desire to have the kind of life you write about. Having grown up in the era where a woman should make a "good" marriage,which meant marrying "up" I now realize that I would be miserable having a job that requires me to be on 24-hour call catering to some rich man. There is a reason Babe Paley and Gloria Guinness died years before their much older husbands from diseases exacerbated by stress.

Hi Dominick, I have just watched a wonderful documentary on your life and have found it very inspiring.The wonderful way you described your wife Lenny and the love that you have felt for her was very touching.I cannot wait to read your new book and I know I will feel like I am there with you experiencing every amazing detail outlined in your book.Take care of yourself and I hope that your stem cell treatment is successful.

Mr. Dunne, we are longtime fans. My mother and her sister were brief acquaintances of your family from dancing school (Bobbie and Bunny Conlon). My mother (who's 85) always speaks of you as proof the the "nice people" to come out of West Hartford. Best wishes on your book and your health. Kindest regards, Anne Lake

I have just watched a story on your life here in Noosa, Qld, Australia. Your life is and has been fabulously amazing. With my life I identified with your life. Not with celebrity and fame but extreme living I could say. It has been my wish and my dream to perhaps 'find' someone that may be interested in hearing my 60 years. I'd love you to return this email so we could communicate and you make a judgement if you think my life worth writing and you have the time. Any way I hope it will 'make a difference'. I'm fair dinkum Dominick and believe you are too.We can't change the direction of the wind mate but we can adjust our sails 'ey. You have and so have I. I look forward to hearing from you if you are interested. It is a story of outback Australia, the love of life, rearing 5 children,extreme adversity, and a 'magical' change with a gift that lay dorment for 50 years which is recognised world wide now. Regardless of this request you are the sort of bloke the world should have live forever. Sincerely Maryanne,

DD: I happened on People Like Us at a second hand bookstore and loved it - deep down, I knew there was a thread of truth in the characters and storyline. Imagine my surprise as I read Another City, Not My Own, how right I was! Please tell me that your DVD will be released in Canada - and if so, where will I be able to buy it? I have my rosary beads out for your health challenges.
Posted by Vicki McKee ~ 17\|Jun\|09

I just watched a show about your work on television here in Australia tonight. I've had some horrid injustices occur in my life which have left me quite powerless. The fact that you had unfairness, tragedy and alienation and have kept on working through things is an inspiration and an encouragement to me. I liked you son Griffin's acting and well, in terms of reading history and biography, your name has kept coming up in my reading but I didn't have a context for you until tonight's program. I really enjoyed tonight's tv about your work. Yes, I came across Phil Spector in many biographies, a genius and a nutter. An interesting recent read has been Tony Bramwell's book about the Beatles which has a lot of Phil in it: Magical Mystery Tours. Anyway, do keep well and keep on with your work too! xxRobin
Posted by robin ~ 17\|Jun\|09

Mr. Dunne, I am also a writer - was a joutrnalist for the Orlando Sentinel in Orlando, FL. Anyway, am thrilled to hear you are putting finishing touches on your new novel. I have a library of your books. I am a prostate cancer survivor and am so relieved to hear of the good progress of your health. Can't wait for your return to Vanity Fair - your columns are why I purchase the magazine. All the best and all my admiration for your strength and courage. Joe.

I miss you, too!! It's exciting to know A Solo Act is soon forthcoming -- I know I'm not the only one who has waited (not so patiently!) years for it to be published. Thank you for working hard on it. VF just isn't the same without your Diary. When I see it in my mailbox each month, I open it, hoping you are back. Please know how much you are missed! I discovered your work nine years ago when I first started staying home full-time with our new daughter. Reading your work has been an indulgent treat that is all mine! Thank you so much for everything. Many prayers, best wishes and cyber hugs coming your way....Kindest regards, Carrie
Posted by Carrie ~ 25\|Jun\|09

Hi Dominic I have read many of your stories in Vanity Fair over the years but had never known about your interesting life prior to watching a fascinating documentary about yourself.

Dear Mr. Dunne, First, let me say that I hope you are feeling better and beat this insidious illness. I just re-read "Another City, Not My Own"; and wanted to say that I truly felt your outrage at that verdict. Enough said; the killer has discovered now that Karma will indeed get you in the end. I too am very interested in homicides, particularly those defendants who are acquitted due to perjury, forgery, corrupt juries, and lots of money to pay for the best attorneys. I watch the prison documentaries on MSNBC a lot; I suppose you could say I am a student of human nature. I am curious about something: have you ever considered writing a book about someone wrongly convicted? I don't believe for a minute that most of those people lived lives of great glory up until their wrongful conviction; just curious as to what your take would be on the subject. Ironic that Barry Scheck is very involved with these cases! Thanks for many great reads, and I wish you strength and courage. You have already shown these characteristics in great quantity!
Posted by Gail Beckham ~ 09\|Jun\|09

You have shared your life with us via many interviews, The Way We Lived Then, and After The Party. I know you are working on A Solo Act but have you any plans to write your own biography? You have proven in so many ways that one can turn tragedy and anger into a positive force. To me, your living legacy is that you overcame where you could have succumbed to your addictions and heartache. Your strength will see you through this health issue. Let us know how you are doing.
Posted by Catherine Davis ~ 07\|Jun\|09

Dear Dominick Dunne - I my partner and I are so sorry to hear of your illness - we have scoured Vanity Fair for months now, missing your diary and wondering where you went. Now we know, and you are in our prayers and I personally am confident that you will beat your illness (having beat it once before!). Your books and social commentary are nothing short of fascinating, not to mention entertaining. Get well - finish that book so we can read it! - and get back to VF....the magazine is NOT the same without your diary. God bless - you ARE in our prayers - Mike G. & J.T.D.
Posted by Mike G./Philadelphia ~ 06\|Jun\|09

I was searching Vanity Fair and other places for anything you've written I might have missed over the years. Just want to tell you that your work is awesome and has entertained me for many years. I especially enjoyed your later interaction with Furman and this is why: Laura Hart McKinney tried to sell me on a treatment called "Men Against Women" taken from her "interviews" with Furman BEFORE the OJ trial. I did not have a very good impression of the woman, and it was reinforced when she pulled her stunt at the trial and in my mind at least, was partially responsible for his freedom. Just to share, in the years since she and her family purchased an expensive home in N.C. and followed with a face-lift. As they were bankrupt when they moved here, I was interested to see how she spent the windfall. Thanks again for your excellent work. You are truly a gem. Christy Johnson
Posted by Christy Johnson ~ 19\|May\|09

Dear Mr. Dunne, I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all your work over the years, and I love the fact that you were never afraid to report on the sociopaths in Hollywood - even though I'm sure you were pressured to curtail your observations. I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. Please check out www.knowthecause.com and look under the "shows" heading for interviews with Dr. Tulio Simonici. He is a board certified oncologist from Italy who uses natural non-invasive methods to cure all cancers, including bladder cancer. He injects baking soda into the tumor with a catheter, and basically dissolves the tumor. I have no doubt that you will be completely healed and better than ever. Can't wait to read your new book. Love and blessings, Deborah

Hi Dominick, Thought about you today with the handing down of the sentence for Phil Spectre. Can't wait for your follow up of this case. I love reading all your Vanity Fair articles and all your books. I first knew of you when I bought The Two Mrs Grenvilles from a second hand book shop in the eighties. I have been addicted ever since and bought Vanity Fair for your articles. Hang in there.....Regards, Liz

Dear Mr Dunne, My best wishes- I had no idea about your illness. I looked on here because I just returned your excellent book "Justice" to my local library and found a book of true crime essays from 2004. Included is a piece by Robert Kennedy Jr regarding the Skakel case, and I wondered if you ever wrote a rebuttal of his story (as you probably know , he wasn't exactly complimentary about you!). I chose Dominic as my 4 year old son's name because it's a solid name- I figure he may go with Nick when he's older.I love your work- looking forward to reading more ( I'll buy your new novel since according to RK you're all about the $ !) Sincerely, Chris
Posted by christopher ~ 01\|Jun\|09

I would love to know why Jack Schwartz changed his name. When you were working on the movie together did either of you give a sign to the other that you had met in other circumstances? Would you repeat the joke that you told regarding Sue Mengers and Jean-Claude Tramont that sealed your Hollywood fate? Is there anyway you could work the answers to these questions into your new book? I hope you go into detail about the circumstances that resulted in name cards being switched and you sitting next to the Marquesa at dinner. I hope your stem cell treatment works and you go on to write many more books and resume your column at Vanity Fair, becaude it's the only reason I subscribe

Hi Dominick, I was just watching a program on the death of your daughter .You must truly miss her a lot. justice was really not served in this case. Your daughter was a productive human being who was murdered by an aggressive man, that obviously had no value for any one life but his own..He should have got life.Unfortunately this happens more often than not.She will be remembered and has left a legacy as you will also leave one day. I wish you well in your future endeavors, helping others deal with similar pain you have felt.

I have been worried about you; your VF columns just disappeared. I am sorry to learn of your cancer, but I applaud your decision to seek alternative treatment. I believe that -some day- American oncologists will conclude that chemotherapy was a BIG mistake! Please get well and come back to your writing as soon as possible.

From the "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles" to "Another City, Not My Own" to the Vanity Fair articles, your writing has brought me so much joy over the years both in good and bad times. My wife and I discuss your stories resularly. You have been a great inspiration for me to finish writing my own story based on a 60 minutes segment based on my life. So glad your treatment is going well. I want to be reading your writings for years to come as I want my one year old son to do also. I cannot wait to read the new one. I am excited to have foundd this site. Best wishes, Stephen, Aimee, and Sebastian

Mr. Dunne (Gus Bailey), I just read your novel "Another City, Not my Own", and relived a horrible time in US history, the trial of OJ Simpson. Enjoyed your story very much, and also got the impression that you had written a book on the Menendez Brothers, due to some comments in the above mentioned novel. That's actually why I checked your website to see if I could find more info on that book. Anyway, kudo's on a 12 year old book that I just discovered. David

I await the publication of "A Solo Act" with baited breath. :)
Posted by Buck Winthrop ~ 18\|May\|09

Good Morning from Northern Ireland. I was looking at websites to see if I could find when your book A Solo Act would be published and found this site. I had no idea you had cancer. Im so happy that you appear to be doing well!! I have read all your books over the years. Im originally from San Francisco, now living in Northern Ireland, so you will know how interested I was in the OJ trial and subsequent book!!!! I wish you all the best and will include you in my prayers for recovery. Thanks for all the years of wonderful reading and tidbits. I read Vanity Fair and have missed your column so much. Best wishes from Mary Hughes.

Dear Mr. Dunne: I am so glad to have found this website and a way to communicate with you. Your Vanity Fair articles are the most interesting and well written of any in that magazine. I worried about your absence, but am glad to hear you are Ok, and back to work. Keep up your energy to fight the cancer, we need to hear more from you about all these cases, because no one elses insights are as informed and intelligent. Hang in there! I have followed your life and appreciate all you have accomplished. Looking forward to many more books. You are the best!!! Dr Beth Meister

My mother wants to see Debbie Reynolds at Cafe Carlyle next month. As an authority on NYC society, I thought you'd be a good person to ask. We've never been there and not sure what to expect. Do you have any tips on getting a good table? Do you have any other suggestions to make the evening out most enjoyable? I saw you in the documentary "Making the Boys" at the Tribeca Film Festival and really enjoyed your comments about the play!

Dear Mr. Dunne, I've been wondering about you for so long now. Quite pleased to find your website and learn of your doings, the movie, the new book, your stem cell treatments. I've been a huge fan because you reveal so much of yourself in all the writing you've done for VF. I've read all your books. Each is like getting to have a really long interesting conversation with you. I'm starting to write at the ripe old age of 56 and your story inspires me to give it a try, see what happens. I hope your treatments continue to go well. And I really look forward to catching up with you in all the opportunities your website lets me know are/will be possible. Sending you oceans of appreciation, love and respect.

Dear Mr. Dunne, I'm so pleased you have a website where I can thank you for writing such brilliant books. I've got them all and reread them continuously especially the novels. It's so wonderful to be able to escape into another world for a while. I wish you good health, Karen P.

dominick, i went through severe chemotherapy for colon cancer which ended almost two years ago. i seem to get scanned frequently for more cancer so the stress continues of waiting for the beast to return. however, some things do alleviate going through these stages. They are simple but they may help you. Listening to an ipod or iphone, music or audio books, is a great help in every stage. it removes one mentally to another place and also eases one into a healing sleep. swimming, even if only moving through a simple and slow side or breast stroke and/or swimming with music, all help to remove one to another level mentally and also make one's body feel better. doing art work of any sort is a great emotional help. i found it also helped lessen chemo pain. convertible drives through parks are greatly helpful. you get fresh air, beauty, serenity , tranquility. also, food from an organic food store is much easier to take in. the jamaican ginger ale sold at my organic food store was about all i could drink in the final weeks of chemo. walks through beautiful places, even if short, are good for the body and soul too. i live on top of a national park so it was ideal for the drives and walks. the only liquor worth a damn was recommended by my nurse, blackberry cordial, for alleviating side effects. hope any of these help you. cancer is hell. good luck. carol

I have been a long-time fan and have read and loved everything you have every published - yes, even The Winners. Your personal story is inspiring and your second act truly remarkable. I too have had a life-long fascination with the lives and behavior of the rich and infamous. I so hope your new book comes out soon as it has been too long. I wish you well, please take care.

Dear Mr. Dunne: I saw your name on a paperback last weekend and have been reading "One City, Not My Own" nonstop ever since. I had read you in Vanity Fair but not realized you wrote novels too. What an incredible book that is! I've put a hold on "An Inconvenient Woman" and can't wait to receive it. You have inspired me so much! I've been published in magazines and now think I could write books too if I set my mind to it. Please get well soon! The whole world is thinking of you including your readers here in Victoria, BC, Canada.

Dear Mr. Dunne, Hooray for the stem cell treatment. Your spirit is up, your fizz is back and your novel turned in. You are more than on your way back. I am giddy about the new novel. Today I received my hardback copy of People Like Us (one of my faves). Lost my previous hardback during a move and have worn out the paperback. Now my Dominick Dunne library is complete with all hardback books. I am looking forward to adding many more editions. Take good care. Gary

Dear Mr. Dunne, You are a survivor in more ways than one. Your extraordinary determination will keep you fighting the good fight for many years more. I have always loved the raw honesty of your writing in which you shared the pain of earlier years. No question, your searing commentaries on certain public figures brought forth some enemies. Yet, truth prevails, does it not? and your legacy will be that you were brave enough to ask questions and demand accountability for those victims who could not. Your lovely daughter Dominique's light has shone brightly through you and your work. We are the better for your having been here! Get well soon. We need you to write up a storm.

Dear Mr Dunne,I have just watched your doc. How sorry I was to realise that you to have been a victim of such a heinous crime. As an avid follower of the crime channel docs it always amazes me that criminals generally receive such lenient treatment and it also utterly confounds my sense of justice that the legal profession will defend these rogues so blatantly! On another note I want to join your support committee around the world in wishing you a smooth a journey as possible with your illness. Jolly good for you for going to have stem cell treatment done. You are a good man and a fine example for the rest of us. Best wishes Faith South Africa.

There have been very few authors who have had the impact on the world as bestselling author Dominick Dunne. Ever since I read the Inconvenient Woman, I knew he was a force to be reckoned with. I am not only a fan, but someone who is thrilled to introduce others to this masterful storyteller. Thank you for making the world a better place.

Dear Mr Dunne I am a South African living in Cape Town and for the first time, was able to view a synopsis of your career and very frank outlook on society and crime. What a refreshing point of view you have especially since you once rubbed shoulders with the Hollywood elite. I think you've revealed to us what we all really know, that the 'celebrity Club' has a very fickle and fleeting membership and becoming part of it comes at a high price but being excluded, comes at the drop of a hat. Great to know that there is someone out there with the guts to say it outright, He/She is GUILTY! Dreadfully sorry to hear about your illness and the best of luck with your treatment. Regards from African skies.

I am very sorry to read that you are battling cancer and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Although I don't know you personally, I feel great affection for you.

Mr. Dunne, Although I am 19 years old, I've been reading your work for years. I have become fascinated with True Crime, especially people of "high society" (as you call them), all because of your books. "Justice: Crimes, Trials, & Punishments" is the first book I ever read that was written by you, and I couldn't put it down. I couldn't get over how you were able to have and make the connections you within these kind of societies where no one is willing to talk. My goal one day is to meet you and thank you for the life long interest and passion now within in me. Thank you, Mr. Dunne.

The best and most sincere wishes that you continue to feel well and you win the battle with cancer. I will pray for you daily. All the best, Kimberly Meyers

Posted by sophie franklin ~ 30\|Apr\|09

Dear Mr. Dunne, i have been reading your work in Vanity Fair for years and have admired your in depth research into our criminal justice system and victims rights. A few years ago I became friends with a survivor of a violent crime. It was a very similar situation to the Lainey Peterson case in that she was pregnant and close to term. Her husband was the attacker and she very nearly lost her baby as well. Now because she and her child lived she must face him every two years in front of the CA parole board with as many letters from friends and concerned citizens to keep him in prison. This to me signifies how skewed the system is when the victim is forced every few years to relive a horrific memory just to see justice done. Because you have so often championed for victims rights I thought I would write you and see what you thought we/she should do to change this situation. Kind regards, Marlena

I have been following your work of late and rereading your old books. Miss seeing your tv series. You certainly are demonstrating your fortitude, as usual. What do you think of all these poor little girls being murdered lately? Would love to watch your court coverage especially on Casey Anthony if she goes to trial. I say bring out old sparky for her.

Mr. Dunne- I am very glad to hear that you are doing well. I absolutely love your work- you tell your stories with so much truth and class, and I truly admire that about you. I first began watching "Power, Priviledge and Justice" and have been hooked ever since! I have been reading "Another City, Not My Own" and I have been totally captivated. THe trial was going on during the first few years after I graduated high school and then I did not understand that the trial was about more than just a terrible crime. At that time in your life you just don't read between the lines. I find myself reading it in my car during my lunch break from work. I will definitely be looking for your other books when I am finished!

Mr. Dunne, I am a subscriber to Vanity Fair because of you! I started reading your columns many years ago and could hardly wait each month to get the magazine to see what exciting place or person you had visited. During the last year I noticed you were not there and I just figured you were off on some adventure. Today out of the blue I just thought to type in your name to see if I could find out why you were no longer a presence in Vanity Fair. Sorry to hear about your illness. But know you are loved and missed. I miss your writing so that I tune in to the TV show just to see you. I believe God can do anything but fail. In 2002 I was in the hospital with a life threatening illness. The doctor's told my family there was nothing else they could do. My family joined hands around my bed and prayed. My vital signs improved and life came back to my body. I am praying for your health and hope that you will be blessed to bless us with more of your great adventures and writings.

Mr Dunne, I have been a fan of your writings for many years. But because I live in England, it is difficult to find your books but I have read all your Vanity Fair articles and have to say how much I admire you both as a person, and as a writer. I wish you a speedy recovery, and send best wishes to you and your family. I recently saw Poltergeist on TV with my kids, and both of them (I have 2 boys they are 12 and 15) said how beautiful Dominique was and what a great actress she was. I agree with them, you should be so proud of her, I know that she would be so very proud of you. Take care from a big fan here in England

My dear Dominick, I have read you since your very first column for VF and since then have held thoughts of you and the memory of your beautiful, graceful daughter Dominique tightly in my heart. Your column has been the reason that I have kept my subscription to VF active for all of the years since then. Naturally, the first person I thought of when I heard the verdict in the Phil Spector case yesterday was you. I was shopping in Trader Joe's just after I heard the news and they were playing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by the Righteous Brothers, which was perfect and which I thought you would appreciate. I want to thank you for not only being the victims advocate for those whose voices have been forcibly taken from them, but also the voice for multitudes of private citizens, myself included, who look on in horror at the atrocities committed upon the innocent. You have my respect and admiration and always will. I love you, Dominick and wish you the best of health, well- being and a long, productive life still to come.

I just watched the trailer for "After the Party". The Two Mrs. Grenvilles is still one of my absolute favorite books. After reading that, I followed your wonderful work through the years. In this reader's mind, it's hard to say what is more of a "critical" success (s'cuse my grammar), your fiction or nonfiction - all darn fine writing. Thank you for so many wonderful "good reads". Can't wait to read the new novel. Kind regards, Rita

I am sorry you are so ill. Hopefully, the treatments that you receive will bring you back to the good health you had been enjoying. I miss reading your column in Vanity Fair. I live in Greenwich, CT, (3rd generation) it is always fun to hear your opinion on my neighbors. The Walter Noel story keeps getting more interesting by the minute and the tie-in with Bernie Madoff. The vertdict with Phil Spector was justified as was O.J. Simpson. Please get well soon so the rich and powerful don't get anymore crimes.

Dominick, I have enjoyed reading your work for many years. I am happy to read on this page that your treatments in Bavaria went so well and that you are feeling better. This is very good news indeed. My prayers are with you for comfort and a good quality of life.

I just saw "Celebrity Dominick Dunne" today and found it fascinating. I loved it. You have led such an extraordinary life. I'm 48 yrs old and realize you are never too old to try something new. I'm so relieved that Phil Spector has been convicted of murder, finally! Keep up the good work! You are an amazing man. Kind regards, Karin

Dear Dominick, Calling you by your first name seems natural, from having read years of your wonderful columns in Vanity Fair. I wanted to let you know that you have been missed with every issue since you left. Thank you for giving such a human touch to everything you write. Our families have shared similar losses, and we cheer for similar causes. May you feel increasingly better as spring turns to summer. Best wishes always, Candace Santa Fe, NM

I have just finished reading JUSTICE. Was very interested in two things about OJ Simpson: he lied and lied and lied; he had such charm and charisma that people would forget that he was a murderer. I have lived with a person like that. It is very confusing. Everyone else believes them and it creates a sense of unreality. I saw the other side of the person.
Posted by Jennifer Pierno ~ 13\|Apr\|09

Dear Dominick, My heart soared when I heard of the guilty verdict in the trial of the murderer of Lana Clarkson. I would prefer not to say his name as obscurity from now on is his fate,worse than death for a 'celebrity!' I thank you for your many fascinating articles in Vanity Fair and may you live a very long life!!!! Trisha
Posted by Trisha Amirian ~ 13\|Apr\|09

Mr. Dunne: I agree with your latest posting. I cannot understand why the jury in Phil Spector's first trial could not reach a conclusion. In fact, I do not understand juries at all, based on the sentence given to the worthless John Sweeney and the verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. On another topic, I hope you continue to feel well and I would like to thank you for replying personally to my last post. It meant so much to me. May God continue to bless you.
Posted by Cecilia Sheppard ~ 13\|Apr\|09

Dominick, Your novels, articles and television appearances have always brought me great enjoyment. You're fascinating and delightful. I wish you wonderful health and many more happy years in this world. What would the Vanity Fair Oscar Party be without you? Much love to you, all the very best.
Posted by Pat March ~ 13\|Apr\|09

Just wish you the best with your recovery. I can't wait until you begin writing your column for Vanity Fair again and I can't wait to read your new book. I think I've read all the novels you have written and have enjoyed them immensely. I feel somewhat of a connection to you...I, too, am Irish Catholic and have lost a daughter. My daughter committed suicide at age 19 almost 18 years ago. No matter how you lose a child...it is horrendous. I will pray for you and hope to read 'more of you' in the very long future!

I hope it gives you a lift when you hear the news about Phil Spector. Justice is served at long last. Let's hope he receives a long sentence. Love your work.

Dominick, I am so glad that your treatment is something you're glad about, and am sure that is important to its success. I am so curious to read your reaction to the Phil Spector retrial verdict of guilty announced today.
Posted by Janet Ameen-Lee ~ 13\|Apr\|09

Just saw the Spector conviction. Thank goodness. I know this is the second trial, but does he get to appeal this conviction? Do you have any insight on what the jury decided? I always love your thouhts on the trials. Hope you are feeling well.

Dear Mr. Dunne, I am sorry to hear that you have been ill,but I am glad that you are excited and optimistic about your new treatment and I wish you the best. I love all your writing. Your book "The Way We Lived Then" means so much to me. I was born in LA, my grandmother, Dr.May Romm was "psychoanalyst to the stars". I don't know if you knew her or not. Through her I was introduced to Mary Jennifer Selznick, who was my best friend in at Sunshine Preschool. We moved from LA. I thought about her often but I never saw her again. It was wonderful to see pictures of her in your book and realize that I had not imagined those times. Please get well soon. It is hard for me to imagine a world without Dominick Dunne. If you remember my grandmother I would love to talk with you when you are feeling better. Best wishes, Julie Lipton

I've just finished watching "After the Party" and wanted you to know how interesting it was to me. I have read all your books and Vanity Fair articles over the years, and anxiously await your new novel. My mother was a murder victim and her killer, known, was never prosecuted. Somehome, through the pain of that, I've always gained a lot of strength from your articles relating to murder trials. My mother's death will never be vindicated, but somehow such a public voice as yours, always on behalf of the victim, makes me feel more at peace. On behalf of your beautiful Dominique, and my dear mother, God's blessings, Mr. Dunne.

Dear Mr. Dunne, I have admired you and your work for a long time. It goes without saying you are an extraordinary writer. What makes you so special is your courage in the face of so much adversity. I'd long since enjoyed your books when my first child died due to blatant medical malpractice. Nothing near to what you endured with your beautiful Dominique. However, after this nightmarish incident, your work and life story have taken on even more meaning to me. Keep up the good fight. You are a treasure. With best wishes and prayers for your recovery and more terrific stories.

Hi Dominick, I didn't realize you were ill and have been searching each month for your column in Vanity Fair. I hope that your treatment will be successful and that the stem cell treatments will be adopted under President Obama.

Hello Again Dear Mr. Dunne!It's a crisp cool Spring day here in Oregon. Thankyou soooooo very much for the kind regards. XO! To say it made my day is an understatement. What a gentleman you are! I was so excited to find your site that I'm afraid I had a truckload of typos. Honestly I DID graduate from highschool! lol! Actually, I am a published writer. Just a couple short articles about my daughters, but I'm really proud of them because there is one for each daughter. One in Womans Day magazine and one in a book by Simon and Schuster, titled...'The Greatest Gifts We Give our Children.' I wanted to share something else with you today. Its very hard for me to write without tears. Your daughters death is very close to my heart...as I was in a situation very similar, in the late 80's. It was only the sweetness of my daughters love that gave me the courage to leave before either one of us were seriously injured or worse. That, and my faith in God which led me to the scripture....'God has not called us to be a slave to any man.' And I too, had an epiphany...that THAT kind of treatment from one who professed his love....was NOT love. Your courage to fight for justice on your own daughters behalf and so many OTHERS shows such incredible strength and character in you! Who knows how many lives you've helped because of it. My daughter Alexandra now reads your books and adores you. She was barely 2 when we fled that very scarey relationship. ~ I hope you don't mind long letters from me....Godspeed your feet and pen back to us all! and God bless your health! Hugs and kisses~ Sincerely ~ April M. P.S. On a side note....My Great-Great Uncle is GLENN STRANGE of Old Hollywood. He was Frankenstein in 'ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN', and in nearly 300 movies,and many T.V. series, usually, westerns playing the bad guy. Also, he was well known as Sam the bartender on GUNSMOKE for over 7 years!

I saw your interview with the chauffeur on TV - Murder In The Hamptons. Isn't the chauffeurs' name Rolle or Raleigh?? He looks hauntingly familiar from the 1950s. Plz confirm.

Having been completely unaware of your illness, I've been disappointed in several of the most recent Vanity Fair issues, due to not finding your journal. Now I understand why and am heartened to see you are finishing up another novel and will, most possibly, become well enough to begin your writing for V.F. again. You are the most entertaining author of the age of celebrity. [Aside: if you write another novel, perhaps subject matter could be (Highroller) Phyllis McGuire and her longtime beau, Sam G. What a story. Written by you. Another best seller!] Good wishes and prayers, sir.

Dear Mr. Dunne~ Hello!Hello!!! I was online searching for NEW books by you as I've Re-read ALL my others!!and stumbled across your Web-sight. I'm SOOO alarmed to hear of your health battles! But, your choice of treatment sounds like it has really benfited you!And I TRULY Thank the good Lord for that. You're a legendary icon of reporting and fiction as well! Not to mention..just a decent human being. In my search..I came across your newest book soon to be released...HOORAY!!!!! (I'm doing the happy dance!!!) But, Mr. Dunne....I have been SOOO extremely interested to hear your thoughts on the LATEST poetic justice of O.J. SIMPSON. I could just imagine you there in the courtroom, hanging on every word of his latest sentencings. Although I imagine you could not be there.. due to your health. What trememdous justice that must have been to the victims parents (from his PREVIOUS crimes.) Not PERFECT justice as only God can give. But, something to set their hearts at ease finally!!! And, he was convicted as a common thief and thug!! What many have known all along! Not even the notiriety of the title 'murderer. But, enough of my breath wasted on him...Please take good care of yourself Dearheart! This is only the 2nd fan letter I've EVER written! The first was to comedian Louise Anderson after I saw him in Vegas! and by the way..I live in the State where you stayed in your cabin...Oregon! Come back ANY time. Its an honor to have you! and I KNOW you will be back to 110% good health! XO Hugs from~ April M.

Dear Mr. Dunne: Thank you for your fine work for my favorite magazine and tv show- VF and PPJ. Whenever I see that a new episode of PPJ was recorded (I record the series), I can't wait to see which episode it is. They are so well-produced and therefore such a pleasure to watch. They are my treat after I put my baby daughter down to sleep at night. Everything from the deep voiced voice-overs, the visuals, and your commentary is just perfect! What I'd love to see are some new episodes :) I also admire and respect your courage, strength and tenacity- to overcome tragedy and setbacks in the past to go on to do great things. You are an inspiration for me. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a complete recovery soon. With much appreciation, Elaine

Good luck with your treatments! My husband is bladder-cancer free for 10 years now and I wish the same for you. Another reader suggested writing an article about Dorothy Kilgallen which I think would be wonderful. I have always wondered if you also knew anything about the Alice Crimmins case and what ever happened with that woman who murdered her children. Take care and may God Bless you!

I'm so glad I found this site. I've been wondering how you've been doing since you announced your bladder cancer last September. I keep checking out Vanity Fair in the hope of hearing about you. Now I know you're in Germany and feeling better and I'm so happy to hear that. I've never written a fan letter before but your writing has moved me many times. In fact, I started buying Vanity Fair because of your articles and it now seems quite dull without you. Please take care of yourself and I hope the stem cell therapy works for you. You've got too many stories to tell to leave us yet. Good luck and good health, Dawn

I have been keeping you in my prayers for your treatment and look forward to your quick return to Vanity Fair, TruTV with some new shows and, hopefully, some new books. I still think an article on the Dorothy Kilgallen death from your viewpoint would be excellent for Vanity Fair. Please get well soon and God Bless You. Maureen Zucks

Dear Dominick, I used to haunt the newsstands for Vanity Fair, where I could catch your "lettres de l'amour". That's how they seemed to me, from a man with a huge heart who could acquaint all the rest of us with the foibles and follies of the great, the grand, the moneyed, the mean and the mad. But your column has quite vanished. Has the Editor-in-Chief let power go to his head? I hope not. Denying us your column would be like denying Beethoven his baton. One day I had a dream. I have been a technical writer all my life, and thought wouldn't it be great to be mentored by Dominick, in how to write like he does. But like all dreams, it remains buried in the mists. I am so happy I found this site to be able to tell you how much I love your writing. Jonina

I first connected with you when I read The Two Mrs Grenvilles (or maybe it was even on Howdy Doody!) From then on was a fan. Your writing felt like having a best friend who told you the inside story of the celebs, the killers, the rich and famous. I was especially touched because you had experienced the kind of tragedy that many of us have also had, but survived, focused, went forward and did your best to expose evil and injustice. Touche! I still grab every Vanity Fair and hope for another article from you. I wish you a successful recovery and am glad to have the opportunity to say "Thank you! I enjoy your writing!" I'm so glad I got to see you laugh in your DVD!

Dear Mr Dunne, I've never written a fan letter before so i'm not sure what to say. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your wonderful writing. Your books and articles absolutely transport the reader into the world that you are writing about. You truly have a gift. OH and your books! They are awesome and I love how they are so woven into each other. I've read them all many times and passed them to my mom and sister, who are also fans and we are all very much looking forward to your upcoming release - and many more! And of course I could not end this note without a word about OJ. Simply said, he is where he belongs now. I hope his nights are long and cold - as I do all murderers. As many people have told you through out the years - I will never forget the look on your face after the verdict was read. I also will never forget the look on Robert Kardashians face, to me that was the most telling look. He knew he had helped someone get away with murder. Interesting the 'Karma' that has run it's way through that dreamteam. Anyway, I will not keep you any longer. Please know we are praying for your speedy recovery and good health. Best of luck! With Much Admiration and Love, Rhonda Diltz Denver, Colorado

I was saddened to hear about your illness until I read your post made by Kristy. You sound like you are ready to get back to writing. That in itself speaks like the Dominick Dunne I have grown to respect over all these years. Keep up the healing.With Warmest Regards from a big fan...Jaz

Mr. Dunne -I am so pleased to have the opportunity to write you. I am a Brazilian, who have lived in New York for almost 30 years, and first time I knew about you was after the loss of your child (my only son would die in 1993, at the age of 25). Since then you have facinated me,and I became a fan of yours wonderful Articles, Books, Movies and TV show. Your own personal life, of ups and down is so facinated to me. Best of luck with your stem cell treatments in Germany. Like everybody,I have missed reading your diary in Vanity Fair,but I just read you article about the Oscars ! Thank you for yet another opportunity to enjoy excellent reading. I feel like I was there! Thank you for the high standard of writing you have provided to us all. I am looking forward to your recovery.DON´T GIVE UP! God bless you.

Dear Mr. Dunne - all of my friends and I have been huge fans and have read and read all your books. We were wondering why we have not seen your column. My friends and I DEMAND you get well immediately - we have all been waiting for your new book. You have brought so many hours of interest and entertainment into our lives.We will all say prayers for you. I met you once and you were so gracious when I awkwardly told you what a fan I am. God bless and be well.

WOW! good for you dominick! i'm very happy for you. I'm glad you are feeling great, I look forward to your new book "a solo act" and your memoirs! I am ecstatic for you!
Posted by suzy taylor ~ 11\|Mar\|09

I must tell you, I have been totally in love with you for years. I am a 59-year-old grandmother and I think you are so handsome! I have read everything by you that I can find and you are the reason I subscribe to Vanity Fair. I know I am only one of thousands praying for you, you precious man, who have given us so much joy and satisfied our "peeping through the curtains" intellect. I just happen to have finished The Two Mrs. Greenvilles for about the 4th time, one of the best written books ever published. I know you have so much more to share with us so I am sure the Good Lord is going to keep you on the scene for a long time to come. You are the best!

Dear Dominick, I've been a fan of your writing since the Brown/Goldman/Simpson trial. Vanity Fair reading is NOT the same w/out YOU! Please make a speedy recovery - this is just another chapter in your life to write about - so we all await your return to the typewriter. God Bless You! k.a.

Posted by Daphne M Hooks ~ 03\|Mar\|09

Mr. Dunne, I have been riveted by you and your writing since you began. I remember first hearing about Dominique's murder, and I've followed your work closely through the years. I've always felt a connection as someone who also learned from a fall from my pedestal. Now I have a young son achieving success in Hollywood (go figure, I don't think he's that good looking....) so I get a a lot of reminders of the lunacy [mom, she's FROM here, she has ISSUES....] and I appreciate your voice even more. In any case, missing your column I googled you, and now know that you're ill. I hope you keep your fizz, at least for a little while, but nothing lasts forever and we both know that better than most. On the other hand, it's incredible how resilient human beings are, and what do we know? I'll hold you in my heart....be well.

Good luck to you Dominick Dunne. I love your writing and sometimes parts of your diary in Vanity Fair jump from my memory into my brain, like the time you bumped into my late friend Claudia Cohen with her ex and her daughter and you astutely wrote that as usual Claudia had the absolutely factualy correct inside skivvy on events leading to the destruction of the townhouse you both were looking at.

Dear Mr. Dunne, I had missed seeing your column in the issues before October 2008, and when that issue arrived I can’t begin to tell you how delighted I was. To read your life story from your own pen… when you described walking into the Conde Naste building and feeling like you finally had found what you loved to do and where you belonged… I cried. Your journey to where you are now is an inspiration to everyone, but especially to those of us who still haven’t found our niche. When your daughter was murdered I was heartbroken for you. I can’t begin to imagine your pain – one minute of imagining it brings me to my knees. When you wrote about how you discovered that, instead of thinking about hiring a murderer, you found you could write about it, I got chills. It made me feel that Dominique is your muse in heaven. You are her voice, you are her voice of righteous anger. You have been my voice too, so many times. With OJ and all the other scumbags that have skated free while thumbing their noses at their victims and their families. You have put a voice to my disgust. I LOVE YOU!!! (and how happy are we that OJ is finally where he belongs?!) I love everything about the way you write – it’s the details – I can feel the softness of the Porthault sheets in Sunny von Bulow’s bedroom as you describe being there. Someone else might write about how they met Tina Brown – but they wouldn’t mention that it was at a Tex-Mex meal in a writer’s kitchen. I could taste the food, feel the warmth of the kitchen, imagine you sitting there, on the eve of your first trip to the courtroom where justice would not be served... It hit me that it was a good thing, in retrospect, that you were done with the drugs and alcohol at that point – a point where anyone in the world would understand your spiral into addiction, maybe even suicide. The story of your life is a wonderful lesson in hanging in there, sticking it out. Yours is a journey in which the things that didn’t kill you literally did make you stronger – in your case to find what you were meant to do. You are an inspiration to me, and I’m sure to millions of other people. God bless you, Mr. Dunne. You are a brilliant writer, and you have brought me so much joy. Thank you for all the great books and articles. Can't wait for your new book! Forever, Linda Ptolemy

Hey Dominick, I don't know when u r going to Germany, but I thought I'd give u a laugh before you left. There's 3 elderly ladies who, are sisters, and living together.One's 89, the others are 90,& 92. The oldest says, "I think I'll go upstairs and take a bath"?. She goes upstairs, gets undress, gets one foot in the tub, and one foot is out of the tub. She says "I don't know if I was going to take a bath, or I've already done it". The middle sister says," I'll be right there, to help". She starts half-way up the stairs, stops, and says, "i don't know if i was going up the stairs, or down the stairs"? The youngest sister says, in embarrassment, "Oh lord i hope i don't end up like these two"! She then knocks on some wood, and then says,"oh! hold on I'll be right with ya, have to go answer the door" !ha,ha! hope you enjoy this one, you can use it. It's not mine, but you still can use it .lol. hope you have a safe trip, and be well. your friend, suzy taylor

On hearing the news that you have not been well of late...I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your VF column and your books over the years.

Dear Mr Dunne, I have read all your books and reread them. I hate starting a new one because I will have to finish it and I want to treasure every moment. I started buying Vanity Fair mag a few years ago only because of your column. I am so sorry to hear of your illness and wish you all the best. Your writing has given me great pleasure over the years. Take care of yourself and I am looking forward to your new novel. Stay strong, you're a wonderful man. Sincerely Karen Blackburn Gracie
Posted by Karen ~ 26\|Feb\|09

Dear Mr Dunne. I am a father of four from the UK. I recently celebrated my 50th birthday. This is a milestone birthday in anyone's life and it made me remember it would have been your daughter Dominique's 50th birthday later this year. I felt compelled to write to you to let you know my feelings about Dominique's untimely and tragic death at the hands of that coward sweeney. As a parent I can only imagine what you went through at the time and what you have lived with ever since and I applaud your efforts to get justice, not only for Dominique but countless other victims. I am not a person who makes a habit of putting my thoughts in writing to others but I felt I should contact you to let you know that you are not alone in the grief and anger you must have felt following Dominique's death. I, like many others feel that not only were you denied the opportunity to watch your beautiful daughter grow up and blossom, but the world has been denied the chance to see a beautiful and talented young lady emerge as a true star. I do feel bitter at this loss but I am also frustrated that Dominique did not get the justice she deserved and I believe that one day, a much higher justice will prevail. My thoughts are with you during this milestone year and I apologise if this message causes you any upset. God bless you sir. allan

Hi Dominick. I've read the "Times" online article, and I really loved it. anyway, I've been wanting to tell you about the picture i got from you a couple of yrs. ago. i keep forgetting to mention it, so here goes. I wrote to you about 3yrs. ago, asking why you never got married. well I made a mistake on my letter, of course,(the married part) but you wrote on the end of my letter, "your information is incorrect. I have been married. I am the father of 3 children, one of them now dead. My former wife is also dead. I am 80. DD". I still have that letter. I will always treasure that. I just want you to know that. God bless you sir.

Well I got back home just in time to see the best pic go to "slum dog". I'm glad it won. But however I'm miffed at the Acadamy, cause I really wanted Mickey Rourke to win best actor, instead of Sean Penn. Oh well, I guess even a good actor can't win sometimes. At least he got a golden globe out of it.

Dear Mr. Dunne, I just wanted to say that I love your show PPJ on TruTV. I watch the show every time I can. I am a EMT and a mother of two and a wife.

You are a class act!

When I spoke of my mother in Rhode Island you sent her your best . What a gentleman! You are one of a kind. You have always been a fighter that is loved & admired. Looking forward to more articles and another book.( i always thought maybe something on Dorothy Kilgallin) I would read anything you wrote , Mr Dunne's take on the Yellow pages phonebook.... anything.

Am a catholic - as I know you are - not that it makes any difference which God one worships - BUT tomorrow I will light a candle for you at The Blessed Virgin's Statue. For about 5 years now have been trying to find out when Solo Act was due to be published. On this website I see "soon". Have read and more importantly bought everything I could get my hands on that you have written. God Bless

Bless you Mr Dunne for bringing to life the startling and intriguing world of Hollywood and for reporting some of the most tragic criminal cases to come before the US court system in the last 20+ years. Your story telling connects the reader to a world they can only imagine. Both at once ghastly and extraordinarily glamorous. Wishing you continued recovery.

Mr Dunne, I left you a msg on another site that said it was a virtual get-well card to you, I hope you saw it. But, today I am excited to find this site so I can do it again. I'm 58 years old and am embarking on yet another career after remembering my mother's plea that I be a writer. I spent most of my life in several parts of the world doing everything from being a bartender in Guam to a cigarette black marketeer in Naples Italy. When I finally sobered up and looked around it was when I returned to the US at the height of the first OJ trial. I saw you there, listened to you being interviewed, read your bio. read all you'd written that I could find and can't wait for more. I would be more-than-happy to stand in line all night to be among the first to get my hands on your new book...or anything you put out. I pray for you to feel better and keep turning out the coolest writing I've ever read anywhere. From a cabin in Oregon to today, you have inspired this old coot to begin a whole new life and I thank you so much for it. Bill Yerkes, Cols. OH

Domminick, I was the unit manager at the Bob's Big Boy in West Los Angeles when the infamous "meat locker" murders occurred in 1980 and I'm surprised that it's never been featured on any crime show, to my knowledge. I have extensive knowledge of the incidents that led up to this massacre and why I know/believe it all happened. At one time and still to this day I had planned to write a book about it but never quite knew how to go about it. Perhaps you could give me some direction. I was promoted to that Bob's, unit (#31) about 7 months before the brutal murders occurred and was transferred out about 7 months after the incident but what you might not know about are the events that led up to this blood chilling crime, all began about 4 months prior in August of 1980. If it weren't for my wife's love and concern for my safety, I may very well have been in the freezer that December 14th morning of 1980; although I had been transferred to the Bob's in Arcadia by the time the trials began, I was present during the trials of Franklin Freeman and Ricky Rene Sanders. I saw your program the other night about the Menendez Brothers and your comment about "you'd rather walk through fire than be cross examined by Leslie Abramson." I'm sure you remember that she was Sanders' public defender. I remember her well. She cross examined me too. The events that led to this crime are quite interesting. If you could give me any direction on book writing, it would be much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time. Kim Clark

Mr.Dunne: I am so pleased to have the opportunity to write you. I have followed your work closely. You have a fine mind and a wonderful lexicon. Mostly, though, I appreciate your pursuit of justice. As an American, I am embarrassed by many of the .... realities of our justice system. Your observations have helped to....decrease the disappointment. I am heartbroken to know you have been so unwell - and am praying that you are well enough to have learned that OJ was finally convicted. I think, if anything, it should lift you up a bit!!! Kind regards Mr. Dunne. ANd please know - I thought People Like Us (the butterflies at the party) one of the funniest books I've ever read. If you are still well enough to read - please check out Vikram Seth (A Suitable Boy). I think you'd appreciate his mind (though, what do I know, I dont even know you!!). In any event - kind regards Mr. Dunne. You remain one of my favorite writers and I'm honored to be able to write you.

Hi Mr Dunne - I sent you a message previously from Australia. I saw you once at the Chateau Marmont. Just watched True Crimes - the one where the man pushes his wife over a cliff in a car. What a horror story! You were so good - so was thinking of you and hoping you are doing OK and are not in too much pain. I'm sure there are very many people like myself who think of you very often with affection and hope the very best for you. Best wishes, regards and love Linda

Have read your books, magazine articles. All of it great. But it's you I like. The voice of the the Irish Catholic and the world your voice brings to mind for me. Fewer Catholics in the pews, our ethnic connections fading, it has been with real pleasure that I have read you through the years nodding my head with your words, feeling a kinship from values and perspective. So may you be well and in the palm of God's hand always. Seriously, I am convinced it's the truth you speak about the journey not any of the pieces of our histories that connects us to whatever is the loving Presence. Looking forward to the movie coming up and hoping you are busy writing anything at all. Love to you Helen Green

Cynthia Lindsay introduced us years ago and I have been a devoted reader of your unique work since that day. Your grace and insight and the bravery that you have shown in facing your demons has meant more to people that you can ever possibly know. You have brought so much joy into my life and I will pray for your good health!

Six years ago I had the pleasure of meeting you when I was celebrating my birthday with family and friends at a NYC restaurant and you happened to be sitting across from us. You graciously stood with me for a picture and it is one of my best birthday memories! Thank you for all your insights - you are missed in my monthly Vanity Fair.

The only reason I've subscribed to Vanity Fair for so many years is your writing. I've read and love your books. I've had a crush on you for so many years. Perhaps it's some comfort to you to know how many people love you.

Mr. Dunne, I have tried to follow everything you've done for so many years. As long as I could afford Vanity Fair, I didn't miss a word, a comma or a jab at someone who richly deserved your scorn. I wish you the best in your fight against cancer and I want you to know that I consider you a good friend, even though we've never met.

Nick, I watched the video, I was very moved and touched by your candor and honesty. Having lived and been raised in the family, I too have felt some of the pressure to find success yet while trying to find myself. Your insight on your rise and fall in a world that knew no boundaries was captivating, but more so your honesty of your own stature and your struggle to feel comfortable within was even more inspiring.I wish you the best in your battle, be strong, god be wth you.
Posted by Gordon Hutchinson (Nephew) ~ 22\|Dec\|08

You're the first person I've been drawn to in a long time on TV. Watching, spellbound, there was a knock on my door and it was a friend to tell me of her happiness, her son was engaged to be married. I feigned a headache and kept one eye on the screen. Failing to read my body language, she rattled on and on. I took two pain killers in her presence and offered to visit her to hear all about it another time. I'm going to buy your film, books, everything. I can't believe I'd never heard of you before. What a life you've had.
Posted by annette gladman ~ 20\|Dec\|08

Dear Dominick- I'm doing kind of a silly thing. I feel a need to thank the people in my life- who I knew, know and who wouldn't know me from a bar of soap- to thank for the pleasure, influence and inspiration that they have given me. You are one of those people. I think what I most admire about you is that even though your stories are about others, they always include a piece of yourself and your life. You are authentic and your work is uniquely yours. Through that, your words inspire me to be myself through what I do - there aren't many around that do that...It is a tremendous gift to give the world and I am grateful. Thank you Dominick. And by the way, if you ever come to Sydney, let me know, I owe you a nice dinner. gratitude and love, Sue

Dear Mr. Dunne, I just finished reading your book "Another City, Not My Own" and was so riveted that I couldn't put it down! Throughout the book I kept thinking to myself "this guy thinks exactly like me, how refreshing!".......so I was shocked when I looked you up on the internet and found that we share the same birthdate! You are quite obviously an incredibly honest and loving person, who also has the cajones of a pit bull! I plan to read all of your books now. I wish you a speedy recovery from your illness and believe that God is looking out for one of his "human angels". Sign me...Faithful fan from Tucson!

Susan Davie Melbourne, Australia 17th December 2008 Dear Mr Dunne, My name is Susan Davie and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I am writing to tell you that I am a “big fan’ of your work, particularly your “Vanity Fair” columns. From the very first column it’s safe to say that you had me hooked. Your style of writing is extremely personal and makes one feel as if you’re conducting a very intimate and private conversation with the reader as if the information, anecdotes and stories that you’re sharing are for their ears only. Each month as I anxiously awaited the latest copy of “Vanity Fair”, your column would be the first page I turned to. Your work is second to none as you are that special breed of writer who subscribes to the truth. Like Somerset Maugham (yes, I’ve viewed your recent documentary) you’re a keen observer of human behaviour and its fundamental frailties driven by a strong sense of social justice for the underdog. There’s an old adage “If you don’t stand for something then you will fall for anything” and that’s exactly how I see you. You stood up to make a difference without fear or favour for all of societies disenfranchised, you gave them a voice and spoke for those who couldn’t speak for themselves.. As an avid reader of your entire body of work may I take this opportunity to thank you for the joy and many hours of reading pleasure that you’ve given me over the years. In closing may I say it’s with great sadness that I learnt of your illness. I wish you light, love, good health and happiness. I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you again for everything. With love and the deepest respect. SUSAN DAVIE

Dear Dominick, The ABC in Sydney has just aired your film 'Celebrity' and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. I thought it was a beautifully crafted piece, but what really shone through and made it such memorable viewing was your honesty, integrity and 'take' on the world. You are a social commentator with intellect, intelligence and humour. I laughed, cried and learnt. I didn't know much about you but now I'm a big, big fan! I might even buy one of your books (!). Best wishes for the festive season and for your healthy future. I'm off to the beach with my dog!! Jules.

I have always been a fan of yours. I appreciated your quest for the truth to be out there. Come to see us in Australia . We can have a long chat. My husband and I really enjoyed watching the ABC documentary. Sonya Irina-Chong

I stayed at the wonderful Chateau Marmont possibly 2007 - I saw a man sitting and writing - in the courtyard, by the pool - all over the place! and I was fascinated. You gave me a look at one point by the pool - there were some young people fooling around and it was a "look at those young people! sort of look. I thought - Who is this person? What is he doing? Then my daughter bought a copy of Vanity Fair and she said - "look it's him!" Since then I have found out what I could about you and watched your shows - most recently the Australian one last night on television - and I was so impressed by your life and your work and your "person" that I thought I must somehow write and tell you what a wonderful person I think you are and the pleasure I enjoy from your work. You are so committed and straight down the line, so trustworthy with such a wonderful sense of humour and honest self critique. Such a very special human spirit. Then today I was looking for your books but couldn't find them in the local bookstore so I'm online trying to buy - and fortuotously found this site. I am so pleased that I have the opportunity now to say how deeply impressed I am by you and your humanity - and how much I love your beautiful smile. The world is a better place because you have made it that way. I am so saddened to hear that you are unwell. My very best wishes and thoughts are sent to you and my heartfelt thanks for making a truly positive difference Regards Linda

To: Mr. Dominick Dunne. Dominick, I was fortunate to have caught the Australian made documentary on your life's trials last night on the ABC (Australia). Although I probably wouldn't have liked the "fake" party loving Dominick, I did grow to like the "writer" Dominick. I found your musings on you wife and love for her very similar to my own feelings for my wife and it struck a chord. Anyway all the best and hope you are able to write many more stories and articles. Regards, Ross

Dear Mr Dunne, I live in a small town called Esperance (very beautiful) and just had the pleasure of watching you on ABC program. I do hope to get as many books of yours and read them over the course of new year. I am just glad at the chance to come to know about you. May you have peace of mind (to me thats more important than anything). Wish you good health and thank you for doing what you do. Sincerely Maya

Mr Dunne, My wife and I watched your special last night and all I can say is it was amazing tv. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I do have one question for you. About 15 years ago I read an article which you wrote for Vanity Fair. The subject was a wrestler from CT that was accused of rape. As I recall his parents were supporting him whilst he was living in Switzerland and avoiding prosecution. Does any of this ring a bell? If so whatever happened to him; if not, please ignore me as I have lost my mind. Thanks again for all your great articles and God bless with your treatments. Regards, John

Dear Dominick: I knew you in the eighties and early nineties when Ron Sharkey and I would visit you at your apartment. You visited me at Hubert's Restaurant once in a while when I worked there. I also planned the big Audrey Hepburn dinner at Tavern which you attended. It has been amazing to watch your huge success over the years. You are a genuine guy and so smart about the way we live now. I heard you went to St. Joseph's School in Hartford. So did I. And I'm wondering if you ever met Wallace Stevens the poet who lived near your family and who walked along Asylum Avenue every morning on his way to work in the 1940's. Such ancient history. Dominick, congratulations on your movie. It is an honor to have known you. You are one for the ages. love, Frank Regan

I have now joined the poors but rmember and love you for giving me my 1st quaalude at a party at the Miramonte. Thank you for being a part of my life, in the formative years (38/39) and providing me with Liz Taylor, Helmut Berger and Larry Peerce to enliven those days... BS and hypocrisies aside...I truly admire your honesty and unwillingness to compromise your POV for foolishness. Love you.... STEVE B.

Dominik, you are truly a genius and more human than most humans! I could totally relate to your life experiences, your horror at human behavior and attraction to the glamour and success of Hollywood. You are my inspiration that despite what happens in life we can still create magic and make a difference in the lives of others we touch; with our words and our own actions!

Mr. Dunn, All and foremost I do appreciate and admire your crusade for justice anywhere around the world. I watch your show on TRU TV everytime, and all the time. Please, continue to show us viewers every television program showing the way to justice that all this dirt bags deserve. Reading your Bio, I wrote that you enlisted and served in WW2 (European Theater), as a Veteran and Retire Military man from the US Army we can share the sacrifice, and commitment to this nation and our families. May God Bless you in this Holiday Season. Thank you for all you do.
Posted by Gregory Lopez ~ 14\|Dec\|08

Dearest Domonick--I feel perfectly comfortable addressing you this way. You have that way of making people feel they know (or want to) know you. Your relentless passion for truth and justice is blessedly done by others every day but you have been the public voice of their efforts. I have read (and reread) your books as they, to me, have an Edith Wharton-like way of capturing human interactions. I just adore you and admire you even more. You are the reason I get Vanity Fair. You are an inspiration to me who has, more than once, fallen down but tries to get up and keep dancing. You are to me the epitome of grace and style. With great affection...Susan P.
Posted by Susan C. Parker ~ 11\|Dec\|08

Dominick, I am afraid to say I've never heard of you before tonight. Please don't take it as personal because the facts of life are that there are a multitude of people that I've never heard of. Permit me to say that I found a documentary about aired tonight on the ABC (the Australian ABC, that is) and having just seen it and thus still thinking on it, I just felt I had to say something. Nothing profound really, but it has left me breathless and in something approaching shock? I have long held the view that much in the US (in)justice system is deplorable, a joke, with the likes of the people mentioned in the documentary getting away with murder. I don't believe it will ever change because the elected DA system and the theatre permitted by defence lawyers seems to me to be at the heart of the problem. Although it was a long time ago, permit me to offer condolences on the murder of your daughter. I can't comprehend how I would handle those circumstances, god forbid that I should ever have to! I regret that there is every liklihood that I shall ever have the privelige of meeting you. Best wishes, Malcolm Rowe Perth, Western Australia

I must tell you that you have made me smile for years. Your coverage of the trials, your show (Mrs. Woodward's story) was my favorite. No one can tell a story like you.

Mr. Dunne, you are my favorite writer of this time. Horribly, I have been meaning to write that to you, for years, now. Your prose is succulent. Your turn of phrase luscious and beautiful. One rides along with the line, guided as if in a graceful dance, by your voice....until their perfect endings. I am a writer in Ottawa. Mr. Dunne, my greatest artistic desire was to meet you, and tell you that your writing is divine. It reminds us of class and grace----as does your presence on this planet. Thank you for your gifts. They have shaped my life as an artist.

Dear Mr. Dunne, I have been absolutely fascinated by your Vanity Fair columns as well as all of your books for decades. There is something about you that touches us all on some level. I expect it is because you have always been on the side of the Angels, fighting the good fight. Your writing has left a mark on my soul. You are the last true gentleman. In this season of Advent I wish you great strength. May your guardian Angels serve you well while you fight yet another good fight. I wish you all the Joy of the Christmas season. Know that you are greatly admired and well loved. And on a purely self indulgent note, you simply must perservere as I shall know no peace until you pen the final chapter in the OJ odyssey. Do not go gentle into that good night. Your rage inspires so many of us. Sending you my very best wishes for a speedy recovery as well as a Happy Christmas and a Joyous New Year.
