Notes

In The Sixteenth Minute, Jeff Guinn and Douglas Perry explore the treacherous underbelly of fame, bringing depth and insight to a subject that is often treated as superficially as are the people who temporarily achieve it. Drawing on interviews with individuals who experienced Warhol's legendary "fifteen minutes," this book provides a rare glimpse into the aftermath of fame. With subjects spanning the celebrity spectrum from politics (former Speaker of the House of Representatives Jim Wright) to professional sports (onetime "Great White Hope" Gerry Cooney) to entertainment (Fame star Irene Cara), The Sixteenth Minute reveals how fame can place an indelible stamp on someone, which remains long after the attention is gone.
