The Novotny papers : 'a bit vulture, a bit eagle'
Pizzichini, Lilian, 1965-2021
Books
It is almost impossible to summarise the extraordinary life of Mariella Novotny in a few paragraphs. In 1961 she was an underage hooker engaging in sexual relations with President John F. Kennedy, the most powerful man in the world. She was believed to be part of a vice ring set up by an alleged communist agent who was also a well-known British film producer. Two years later the young 'Monroe lookalike' played a major part in another sex scandal with implications for national security: the Profumo Affair. Then, in 1983, when Novotny was in the process of writing her memoirs, she died in suspicious circumstances. This book brings together the explosive episodes of Novotny's life in order to paint a picture of the woman behind the headlines.
