“I have always been intrigued by the kind of people who call their lawyers before they call the police after a murder. It is a rich-people thing.”
- Dominick Dunne
Dominick Dunne was an American writer, investigative journalist, and producer. He started as a producer in film and television, and is noted for involvement with the pioneering gay film The Boys in the Band (1970) and the award-winning drug film The Panic in Needle Park (1971). He turned to writing in the early 1970s. After the 1982 murder of his daughter Dominique, he came to focus on the ways in which wealth and high society interacts with the judicial system. Famous trials he covered included those of O.J. Simpson, Claus von Bulow, Michael Skakel, William Kennedy Smith, and the Menendez brothers. Dunne was a frequent contributor to Vanity Fair, from the 1980s, and also appeared regularly on television discussing crime.
