Informazioni sull'autore

Joseph DiMona has been called by the New York Times "an example of the successful collaborator whose own name may be as recognizable as the subject's." In addition to his collaborations with controversial figures such as H. R. Halderman ( The Ends of Power) and Dr. Noguchi ( Coroner), he has written bestselling novels, including Last Man at Arlington and To the Eagle's Nest.
One of twelve children of Italian immigrant parents, Ann Corio was a prominent American burlesque stripper and actress. Born Ann Coiro on November 29, 1909, in Hartford, Connecticut, the change of her surname was motivated by her choice of profession and her family's disapproval of it. Her rise to stardom began with her involvement with the Mutual Burlesque Circuit in 1925, eventually making her one of the most popular risqué actresses of the time. Corio later appeared in films and plays, and on the radio and TV, eventually putting together her own off-Broadway show, This Was Burlesque, in 1962. In 1968, she wrote a book with the same title. Corio died on March 1, 1999, at the age of eighty-nine in Englewood, New Jersey.
