- In 1991 Kelley published Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography. She was paid $3.5 million to write the book. The book claimed that Nancy Reagan had an affair with Frank Sinatra, that she frequently relied on astrology, that she had lied about her age, and that she had a very poor relationship with her children, even alleging that she hit her daughter, Patti. According to Newsweek, "Despite her wretched excesses, Kelley has the core of the story right. Even her staunchest defenders concede that Nancy Reagan is more Marie Antoinette than Mother Teresa.". However Newsweek also criticized the book's basic factual accuracy, noting that Kelley had reported that Ronald Reagan had allegedly date raped a 19-year-old, when the accuser would have actually been 25 at the time.
One way or the other, you will have strong feelings about what she says.
Kitty Kelley is the author of several best-selling unauthorized biographies of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Reagan, the British Royal Family, the Bush family, and Oprah Winfrey.
Kitty has been sued a few times and has never lost.
Exactly no matter what the haters say she writes based on fact and has the proof to back it up.
She has always told the truth!!!
I could listen to Kitty talk for hours, there’s an aura about her. Fantastic journalist!
I wish they did interviews like this today
You can "thank" Ronald Reagan himself for the change to our media. He and his team did everything possible under the Executive Branch to consolidate media ownership under fewer owners and strip out dissent (Reagan was a spokesman for General Electric before he became President). Later, the Republicans in both Houses of Congress wrote the Telecommunications Act (which Bill Clinton should have NEVER signed, he should have Vetoed it and let Republicans own it completely but now you know why Clinton not Hart was in the General Election, same reason that Clinton not Sanders was in (and lost) the General Election.
God forbid you'd hurt someone's feelings.........
Journalism doesn't have to be "balanced." It only has to be true. If there's nothing "nice" TO say, Ms. Kelly is under no obligation to say anything nice.
What an inhuman comment. Even Hitler was kind to his dog.
Nancy was known as BJ queen of Hollywood in her younger day.
.....wow....
Yes, she was actually renowned for it 😋
she greased her lips with. KY Jelly. Sue Weeeeee!
Dang!!! But I’m not surprised!!!
The throat goat
The lady knows far more then she let's on ..
Way more imagine the s*** she left out of the book 😂😂😂🎉
Kitty Kelley is a writer of great courage. I read the Nancy Reagan book, and later, her even more formidable task, the book about the Bush family. Both terrific books. She has made a remarkable contribution to the realm of biography.
I admire Kelley for withstanding the pounding from the media, including that idiot Matt Lauer on “The Today Show.”
For awhile, that slimy lowlife Lucianne Goldberg served as Kelley’s agent. She tried cheating her client out of royalties from European sales of the books. (Kelley discovered this by accident, book-shopping in London.) The case was eventually settled in Kelley’s favour.
LOL. Right up there with Dickens and Austin.
How does Kitty Kelly have the guts to write these books? Courageous.
Must be the hairspray 😂 but yeah very courageous because people like that have freak accidents or go missing
The fact that she recalls names and dates off the top of her head.. this lady is cold 🥶
Cold cold ..she IS A CRAFTSWOMAN .SHE KNOW S ALL THE FACTS ..GREAT PERSON ..IF ONLY SHE DID CLINTONS ..WOW
Money hungry like em all
She worked her ass off to get facts which she backed up. That's is in fact money hungry.....it's called WORK.@@bernardcassidy6497
@@bernardcassidy6497Nothing wrong with making money. We paid these public servants to do a job for the people and duped everyone. They were never in it to help anyone but themselves and the rich.
@@doug132639 she would have quickly been ARconsided like most that crossed that pair. Bubba and the hag got rid of those that did them wrong in their eyes.
Kitty Kelly is the epitome of due diligence! You asked for the truth.... You get it!
One of the best interviews done in my opinion.
Just because you’re a public person doesn’t mean your ethical or nice…
I could tell Nancy Reagan was one of those. And I am starting to realize how moral & ethical I am. How could the women back then put up with whatever ‘cost’ to get were you wanted to be. I would refuse to lower myself to that. Ick🤢
@@davisholman8149can't judge unless you're in their shoes.
Set a goal this year to read and reread her books, reading the Nancy book right now, my second reading of it, so thorough and precises.....susan page is the same way in her research but there are very few people who can pull off the work Kitty does. this interview is fantastic.
Eileen, they dont interview like you anymore...this holds up. Re reading the book now, read it long time ago but skipped through it, enjoying it
This woman is an expert interviewer
Catherine Crier's personality almost comes off as "the only adult" in all of this.
Are you fucking kidding me? This woman needed a makeover even more than a very fierce bitchslap
Amazing
Kitty Kelley seems to do her homework and has evidence of what she writes.
Madeleine I was very impressed by her. She most definitely knows her stuff. What a smart cookie.
But her voice is annoying and she speaks like a cheap gossiper not a journalist.
I still don't understand people's love of the Reagans.
I still don't understant people judge others like they're the best and best (never make mistakes and everything)
'judge others if you are perfect' until that, judge yourself more and more, no need to go around and judge other people.
ik we r all bad people, we make mistakes all the time, but i trully hope that one day, me, you, and others, we can get to the point where we all gonna say to each other "wow you are good people, wow they are good people"
thanks Ma'am
God bless you.
It's called respect! I don't understand people's love for the corrupt Clinton's or Obama's but I respect them!
@@mylesburris3885 You say this like they're the only ones. There's been worse since...
When you are a politician you are open to critiques - "Ronnie" was a grade B actor and it would have been great if he were a grade B president - he certainly did not make that grade.
@@LJ-ht4zs He was AAA+ compared with what we have today. Get real!
People are never what they seem. Especially, when they present themselves as pictures of respectability.
She went in on them!
Ronnie was a character actor and you have to agree he was good at it. His best role was 'playing' a president for eight years.
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help -- said a guy from the government who said he was here to help. .
Yuk yuk
Reagan himself also got around. He was also known to be cheap. He'd tell his dates to take a taxi home the next day. What a prince!
Don is a Con Artist his greatest role was fucking up America in 4yrs
It was well known in the 80's Nancy ran the Whitehouse. Who started the Just Say no, and the Dare program along with the new laws.
That's a smart lady there!..great work!
Damn, the interviewer reminds me of Katie Couric!!!
She does! Could be sisters or cousins.
mentioned this a few posts before - Eileen - you are a terrific interviewer - amazing with the follow - up question !
Thank you Russ! Thanks for watching. Best to you.
Amen Kitty Kelly! 💯! She is completely correct!!
For her to answer so freely, with no hesitation, and clear recollection on interviews, what was said, and by whole, one can only concluded, the truth comes quickly and easily, when it's coming from the truth. Kelly in her defending her work, proves she's gone through each fact and statement, with a fine tooth comb, with legal scrutiny, before she typed one word to be published. It may be salacious and gossipy, but I can say, it's true. Because a person is exposed as to their true nature, although unflattering, does not make it a lie.
....exactly....that is why i have to say i admire Kitty....i have read several of her books....
I think it wasn't a secret that Nancy Reagan played a big roll in the Whitehouse. After He was shot she really took over. I don't think that is an insult either though. It shows she was strong and a woman needs to be president already. I am surprised she didn't do a book on Ronald. Nancy's story is small potatoes compared to her husband.
@@christineperez7562 Christine, I would just LOVE to see Kitty write a book about Rush Limbaugh - I would just LOVE to see what she can uncover about Rush; mind you, I'm not a fan of "El Rushbo", but I would love to see what she can uncover about him - especially in regard to his physical conduct toward underaged people, if you catch my drift.
I’m here for the throat goat allegations.
The throat goat is exactly why I’m here too.
The Reagan’s danced with the devil! 🤷🏽♀️
An exceptionally brave, strong, smart woman, Kitty Kelley always knew what she was talking about and thoroughly researched her subjects. I'm so glad she had the courage to write the book about awful Nancy Reagan, who was not a nice woman - just ask her children. But, this comment is to show respect to the one-and-only Kitty Kelley and the dynamic woman who conducted the interview in this video.
... most of what she says here -- or wrote in her book -- is now echoed all these years later in columnist Karen Tumulty's book "The Triumph of Nancy Reagan"
I was a child when he was president. It was not a secret that Nancy ran the Whitehouse. She should have wrote about Ronald Nancy is small potatoes compared to him.
I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all her books!💕
Bronchitis! Ain't nobody got time for dat!
Kitty is there to sell books. The truth doesn't matter, only sensationalism sells. $$$.
Kitty Kelly is so well spoken, interesting and educated.
This is all true. I read Patti Davis’s book years ago. Still have it. All true.
Lara O'neal I don't know that I would believe anything she has to say. I think she was so angry with her parents that she probably just made it all up. Not saying that the Reagans were perfect but I'm pretty sure they're not as bad as whatever Patti Davis said.
Kira Nolan I correct to a point. However people have pointed to Nancy as being distant and cold
@@kiranolan7104 well, the daughter was raised by them 24/7 365 days a year for many many years. You were not. I would go with Patti Reagan as far as who knows what went on in there
Patti denounced Kitty Kellly...all FOUR of Ronald's children did)
@@kiranolan7104 ....usually when children rebel against their celebrity parents....they usually destroy their very carefully maintained image their parents create so lovingly....that the public...cherishes...
What an excellent interview!
Who’s watching after the Madonna/Nancy Reagan tweet
.....please explain....
Kitty Kelly is probably one of the greatest, most thorough investigative writers of all time. She has guts and doesn’t compromise her integrity ever. I applaud her x a cozillion for her work.
All I know is that Nancy Reagan came across as an incredibly cold person.
No she was a boss and ran the Whitehouse
She always seemed calculating, cold, shallow and very much the hard-boiled alcoholic. She and Reagan refused to tell the truth about their ethnicity, as well.
Brilliant interview!! Would be amazing if the interview wasn't edited shorter.
Why would anybody want to go out with Nancy Reagan, Frank could never keep his Ravioli in his Pants...🙈
Narcissists are very smooth operators. They can make you like them.
Amazing how certain VERY FEW select ppl get to make a living this way. I wouldn't even know where to start a project like this. I read her book and the level of detail is just amazing.
Good book, very true. She answered who the people were that told her these facts!
Well the Women did what they did cause the Men wanted them !!! It takes two to tangle !!!!
This shit is gold Katie girl we need you right now
"Oh, Michael Reagan. He's so pathetic." Lol!!
Write a book on Bill Clinton.
Yeah, but as we have seen, the Kitty Kelleys dont get bestsellers unless its a nasty book about somebody MSM and Democrats WANT to be smeared.
@@MTknitter22 That’s 100% accurate Charlotte 👍
She only writes fiction.
Luis Llorens She is the purest form of journalist; not beholden to anything but fact. Zero corporate or political sway. Kitty Kelley is fearless... and peerless.
@@MTknitter22 go grab a tissue
I love Mr and Mrs Reagan and always will. God love you Mr President.
All that coughing she’s doing without covering her mouth is wearing me out
🤣🤣🤣🤣 right!
Believe it! The Reagans were exactly the way Ms. Kelley describes and more so
So Nancy was a good president?
Kitty tells truth "they" don't won't exposed lol Another Fact, when I was growing up we had like 3 TV stations.. okay maybe a cpl more in the 80s. If Reagan was on.. he was on every single channel/station & the regular scheduled program ( forget about it) 😂😂
Yes it was no secret that Nancy was running things in the Whitehouse. Nancy started just say no war on drug stuff, the Dare program. Nancy's story is small potatoes compared to Ronald.
Fascinating
Funny how the open coughing bothers me much more now than say a year ago!
Yesss! I cringed everytime she coughed!
She advanced on R.Reagan and the marriage to jane wyman went on the rocks ..also it is said she pleased men quite a bit
Jane had left Ronnie any way but Nancy got pregnant, trapped RR into marriage, and ignored her children. She came from poverty and relied on her ambition to succeed.
@@edp3202 I heard she was a real slob
But how? She had the body of a pencil.
NANCY REAGAN WAS PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN'S MOMMY, THAT'S WHAT HE USED TOO CALL HER, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, MOMMY, LOL LOL. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
The Kennedys AND REAGONS can't talk bad a out them everyone loves them they want to believe the best of them
The book is true , Nancy Reagan was a cold and calculating women . She was not kind and loving to Ronnie's two children with Jane Wyman . She plotted and schemed to meet Ronnie and trapped him into marriage. Allowed herself to get pregnant all the while knowing he was seeing other women . A lot of this stuff is mentioned in Patti Davis's book as well , and she wrote about three I think . All this stuff has been said by others . Kitty Kelly's book is more concise and detailed and well supported and documented .
What fascinates me is how and why Ronald Reagan fell for this horrid creature after they were married , because he was certainly not in love with Nancy when he did marry her> Ronald Reagan actually admitted to his best friend and also best man at his wedding to Nancy , that he thought he was trapped into marriage by her .
Just exactly when did they become the love of each others lives I dont know , but I always thought there was something extremely unnatural about their so called undying love for one and other This love, and according to their daughter Patti her parent's love for each other left no room to love anyone else even their own kids . Patti states in one of her books that you had to leave the room you entered if her parents were in it together , because they consumed all the oxygen in it , she said she felt she could not breath . A strange statement in deed .
Kind of like the way Meghan Markle captured Harry. Ithink both are narcissist and very manipulative. Eventually their mark becomes trauma bonded and brain washed over the years. You gotta give it to Nancy she was a master manipulator and ran the show. Kelley said she made a great president.
I must say I have always assumed Kitty Kelley wrote sensational expose’ stuff and was a light weight. I have read some of her work.Having watched this I now suspect she has much more substance to her. I see that someone here called her a “skank”. It would be hard to imagine a more degrading low life way of referring to a woman and I think when being on the receiving end of such assessments Kitty Kelly can only rise higher in people’s estimation. She doesn’t have a “vicious smile” as that caller from Arlington claimed. She’s engaging and responsible in her approach to the people she writes about and she has every right to write about them and to be assessed in a fair and reasonable way.
Your first sentence is the only insightful, measured, and intelligent thing about this sycophantic fluff piece of a paragraph lol.
@@charlesswitzer8378 Queen?
its funny how its ok for a woman to sleep with a producer to get parts, yet, its not ok for a producer to 'inappropriately touch' or sleep with an actress....double standard just a bit?
Elaine Marten, Hi Elaine, my uncle was in the music business for 30 years, you have to understand that in the 30's, 40's and 50's certain things were not spoken about. There was Image Consultants, Press Release Agents who fabricated Celebrities lives. Actors who hade bad reputations in the public like Richard Pryor was considered one of the most beautiful people in the industry, despite his drug problems, Richard was alway there for people he would never commit "Date Rape" and he gave 1/3 his money away to Charities, now, people like Ronald Reagan who hade a great Public Persona were considered a "CREEP" My uncle liked Goldie Hawn, Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier because they did "NOT"due sexual favors to advance their careers and the Hollywood Insiders knew it. Many Artists were Gay and Lesbian but back then they were not open. Many Artists were Alcoholics in the 30's and 40's. Cocaine came in the late 50's and that is why when these books come out depicting Celebrities lives the fans get "IRATE" becaues they bought into a Good, Clean and Wholesome image of a man with a life that people envy and the Celebrities themselves do what ever it takes to keep up appearance. My uncle himself lost a lot of friends throughout his career to Drugs, Alcohol and Suicide. He moved out near Hawthorne, CA after he retired to get away from people in the industry.
So Nancy put out a hit on Kitty Kelly!! I am not surprised.
Trying to tell me that during Nancy Reagan's time in Hollywood all the way through her marriage to Ronald Reagan, she did not allocate any money to put a headstone on her grandmother's grave? A grandmother who reportedly was very good and kind to Nancy Reagan as a little girl.
Kitty Kelly does her research. Her books take years to write. People who criticise her get over emotional about their heroes but she purposely draws on as many interviews as she can to get to heart of her subject. (I would also venture to bet that most people who dislike her or her books have never read any of them - just the more sensationalised bullet points in the press.)
Who kisses their children on the mouth when they are older plus after what they say about her I certainly would nix the idea.
Nancy had cankles, Frank S wouldn’t do cankles.
Um..can we talk about the strong looking epic bangs on the interviewer please???
A really awesomely conducted interview; and very courageous on Kitty’s part: speaking truth to power 💪
Little do these insidious Reagan crazies know he was Hollywood, he had numerous affairs, divorced a drinker, and Nancy was 3 months pregnant when they were married!
And he was with yet another starlet, when Nancy gave birth.

Ey yo…kissing her son on the lips tho…
While I believe no one is perfect and that everyone has flaws . However my the least favorite First Ladies are Jackie Kennedy and Nancy Reagan neither seemed interested in contributing to us society.
JBK researched, raised money, and beautifully restored the White House at no cost to the tax payers. She was extremely active in the drive to save Grand Central Station in NYC.
Kitty is a fascinating woman and to be admire d for exposing the truth. If that book came out now 2018 a lot more would believe it.
If I was that reporter I'd tell Kitty Kelly 'bitch, back up I don't want your damn bronchitis.'
This is a great interview. Riveting
She's bold. I wonder what her ancestors were like.
I have to buy this book
Clearly a very bright woman... who ever knows the truth
The interviewer didn't know what "benign" means.
00:12 "Date-raped a young starlet." That was pretty hot stuff then; it would be even now. Kelley should have done better research on the age of Selene Walters, who made the accusation against Reagan, because those who could point out Kelley had Walters' age wrong would try to throw out the whole story using that error. Do I believe the rape story? Yes, I do.
This gutsy lady was extremely brave. She wrote the biography on Frank Sinatra, and it wasn't nice.
so we did have a female president. I wonder if those 'compliments' were secretly appreciated by ol' Nancy
Eleanor Roosevelt was are first lady, Dolly Madison, Nancy Reagan, and Hillary Clinton ran the Whitehouse.

Well, yes but I hear she was renowned in Hollywood for her, ahem, skillful mouth.

Leave it to the far right to go and start giving death threats to somebody just because they expose someone they like, for who they are. Rather than learning that shit about that person and being like "oh wow I shouldn't admire them the way I do they're POS" they just go and hate on the person who exposed them and claim liar, fraud, etc.

I still can't help but think... this would practically be suicidal. If there was a hidden recording, all 3 of them would have been the grand joke of all time..
Millions of people write books. Omgosh, it was in a book that was published. It must be true!
Sonja Jordan that piece of paper lies there and let any body write anything on it!
You clearly know nothing about her process. She is the purest form of journalist. Everything... EVERYTHING..... she does is recorded & documented; including all interviews. She has been sued countless times. Guess how many times she has lost? ZERO.
This seem logical. Attentiongrabbers (powerseekers) do, take any measure to get attention! I believe Kitty.
You seem to be trying to gloss over the "date rape" situation. Does it really matter how old Walters was at the time? From PEOPLE Archives (available online): SELENE WALTERS SAYS: Kelley’s account of his late-night visit is essentially accurate, although he never forced his way into her apartment. “I opened the door. Then it was the battle of the couch. I was fighting him. I didn’t want him to make love to me. He’s a very big man, and he just had his way. Date rape? No, God, no, that’s [Kelley’s] phrase. I didn’t have a chance to have a date with him.” Walters says she bears Reagan no ill will, and has even voted for him: “I don’t think he meant to harm me.” She was raped.
Nancys moms "situation" was always talked about, and alledgedly why nancy had to do a marriage deal because of "the blacklist." And ronnie alledgedly needed a "beard."
She's entertaining..give her that.
She does fo a good job with these bios
