Carol Felsenthal is the
author of several biographies, including Citizen Newhouse:
Portrait of a Media Merchant, Power, Privilege, and the Post:
The Katharine Graham Story, and Princess Alice: The Life
and Times of Alice Roosevelt Longworth.
Her latest book is Clinton in Exile: A President Out
of the White House, a look at Bill Clinton’s
post presidency. The paperback edition, with updated material,
was published by HarperCollins in June 2009.
HBO will soon start production of a television adaptation
of her biography of Katharine Graham, Power, Privilege

Joan Didion has written the revised screenplay.

at the University of Chicago—a course that drew on
her experience writing magazine profiles of people ranging
from Ann Landers to Don Rumsfeld to Michelle Obama. She
has also given speeches around the country and abroad and
appeared on scores of television and radio shows to talk
about her experiences writing unauthorized biographies of
some of the country's most powerful people.
