Synopsis:

This true story starts off on the evening of Dorothy's death. After a late-night date with someone unknown to us, Dorothy is murdered in her home and the scene is being staged to look like a suicide. As Dorothy lay dying from a barbiturate overdose, she goes in and out of consciousness. She flashes back in the day to see where she let her guard down and how this happened to her. As she fades in and out, she recalls her amazing life.

Dorothy was one of the most famous celebrities of her time. Dorothy was a Broadway gossip columnist who was loved and hated by the Stars she reported on. More than that she was an investigative reporter who helped to overturn the conviction of Dr. Sam Sheppard. It was Dorothy's investigation and subsequent articles on the CIA and their Synopsis: Dorothy Kilgallen

assassination attempt of Fidel Castro that first brought her to their attention.

Dorothy knew everyone and was friends with many. Ernest Hemmingway called her the world's greatest woman writer and Joan Crawford called her the world’s greatest woman.

She was the only reporter who interviewed Jack Ruby alone. It was this interview that leads Dorothy to believe that Ruby and Oswald were patsies. It was her research on the Kennedy assassination for her book that got her killed.

Dorothy's death was never investigated. The mystery of her death remains today.
