Very excited to announce the following news about our bestselling book, a tribute to the life and times of a very remarkable woman, Dorothy Kilgallen. Here is the article in Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Producing team John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle are developing a project about investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen.<\/p>\n

The duo have optioned Mark Shaw\u2019s true crime novel \u201cThe Reporter Who Knew Too Much: The Mysterious Death of What\u2019s My Line TV Star and Media Icon Dorothy Kilgallen\u201d for an upcoming project.<\/p>\n

The Dowdle brothers created and executive produced Paramount Network\u2019s \u201cWaco,\u201d starring Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh, which wrapped its limited series engagement last month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Reporter Who Knew Too Much\u201d<\/a> centers on legal analyst telling the story of Kilgallen while providing new evidence surrounding her untimely death. Kilgallen was conducting an in-depth investigation probes into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, but was found dead in her apartment in 1965. Though initially ruled an accidental overdose, her death has remained suspicious for some, including Shaw.<\/p>\n

The Dowdles will draw from the book, as well as Shaw\u2019s in-progress follow-up, \u201cDenial of Justice: Dorothy Kilgallen, Abuse of Power and the Most Compelling JFK Assassination Investigation in History.\u201d Monday\u2019s announcement did not indicate whether the new project will be a feature film or TV project.<\/p>\n

\u201cDorothy Kilgallen remains one of the most influential personalities of her era and decades ahead of her time,\u201d the Dowdle brothers said. \u201cHer insatiable drive to uncover the truth was both fascinating and dangerous. She defended those she felt were victims of injustice. In the process she took on some of the most powerful men in the world, knowing full well her life was in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw said, \u201cThe Dowdle brother\u2019s passion for Dorothy\u2019s story is quite exciting. She is one of the most remarkable journalists and investigative reporters in history. Through this upcoming project, I hope Kilgallen will finally be given the respect she deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw is the author of more than 20 books including \u201cThe Poison Patriarch\u201d<\/a> about Joe Kennedy\u2019s alleged complicity in JFK\u2019s assassination. The Dowdles are represented by CAA. Shaw is represented by Frank Weimann at Folio Literary Management.<\/p>\n
