Lee Israel
The biographer comes clean about her years as a literary con artist. Lee Israel was a pro at digging up letters by famous writers like Dorothy Parker and selling them for a good profit. It turns out that Israel was the one writing them. Kurt talks with Israel about her crimes, which she recounts in her new memoir, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
