Overview

Death is the great leveler, and despite notoriety, or the best contacts on the planet, even the rich and famous have to meet their maker in the end. When they do, there's nearly always a story. Bursting with conspiracy theories, juicy gossip, and scandals, Dead Famous unearths the tales of sixty extraordinary individuals whose exits rival their lives for sheer drama. From Dylan Thomas and his 'eighteen straight whiskies' to Mary Queen of Scots' blood-red dress and wig, Gordon Kerr provides a delightfully written and unforgettably curious caper through our favourite celebrities' best last moments.
