Joseph P. Kennedy’s reputation as a savvy businessman,

diplomat, and sly political patriarch is well-documented. But

his years as a Hollywood mogul have never been fully explored until

now.

In Joseph P. Kennedy Presents, Cari Beauchamp brilliantly

explores this unknown chapter in Kennedy’s biography. Between

1926 and 1930, Kennedy positioned himself as a major Hollywood

player. In two short years, he was running three studios

simultaneously and then, in a bold move, he merged his studios with

David Sarnoff to form the legendary RKO Studio. Beauchamp

also tells the story of Kennedy’s affair with Gloria Swanson; how

he masterminded the mergers that created the blueprint for

contemporary Hollywood; and made the fortune that became the

foundation of his empire.

“An exceptional work of film scholarship, packed with

information no one had uncovered before that reads like a juicy

novel.” —Vanity Fair 

“Beauchamp serves up with gusto many measures of gossipy history

and historical gossip. . . . One hell of a story.” —San

Francisco Chronicle

“Fascinating. . . . The intellect, the intuition, the gumption, the

gall, the vision, and the restless ambition of the founding father

are meticulously documented.” —The Boston Globe 

“Cari Beauchamp deserves great credit for bringing Joseph P.

Kennedy into sharp focus with a wealth of detail. . . . Beauchamp

has succeeded not only in finding a new way of telling the story,

but one which adds to it much we didn’t know before. ” —Michael

Korda, The Daily Beast

“Smart. . . . Beauchamp suggests that nothing in Kennedy’s long

career of banking, stock manipulation, and New Dealing prepared him

for presidential politics the way his time in the picture business

did.” —New York Times Book Review

“[A] crackling page-turner. . . . Beauchamp demonstrates again and

again, that apart from [Kennedy’s] abiding love and concern for his

nine children (and perhaps a few others including Marion Davies),

the bottom line was everything.” —Los Angeles Times

other author. . . . A masterpiece of backstage capitalism.”

—Cineaste

“Cari Beauchamp has dug deep into my mother’s files and records and

emerged to finally tell the true story of Gloria Swanson’s

relationship with Joe Kennedy. No one else has ever been as honest

or as thorough.” —Michelle Farmer Amon, daughter of Gloria

Swanson
