This was overshadowed by the death of Senator Kennedy, but Dominick Dunne certainly had an interesting life as well.

Quite ironic since his book A Season In Purgatory was inspired by the murder trial of Michael Skakel (Ethel Kennedy's nephew).

I always loved his columns in Vanity Fair. I will miss those.

Oh this sucks! I loved him...my boyfriend and I are huge fans of his show on Court TV :( RIP Mr. Dunne

I also loved his columns. And he did get to see OJ in jail. Although justice for his daughter's death eluded him. I loved his book, The Way We Lived Then. I used to pass by his elegant old house every day. How fabulous it was.

Exactly what crossed my mind when I first heard last night.

His VF columns were always great. If any society person got busted, he was on the case so fast.

This is the first I've learned of this which seems bizarre for several reasons but mainly: that it's days after the fact and that GreekChat is my most reliable news source.

As a bit of a true crime junkie, I really liked him. I also found the whole Joan Didion as his sister-in-law deal interesting. You know that their family holiday conversation was just that much more interesting than ours.
