Bryan Burrough
She said she was a gorgeous, wealthy, well-connected model and student named Miranda, and she seduced a slew of famous and powerful menâ€”Billy Joel, Warren Beatty, Ted Kennedy, Quincy Jones, Robert DeNiro, Bob Dylan, Buck Henry, Richard Gere, Eric Clapton, and many moreâ€”all of them over the phone. In the course of those long, flirtatious conversations some fell madly in love with her. Some became obsessed with her. Some had their hearts broken by her. And then she vanished.,In the 12 years since bestselling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, The Big Rich) first published his story "The Miranda Obsession" in Vanity Fair, the legend of Miranda has continued to grow and his article has become a true classic of the genre. On the heels of a just-aired prime-time Vanity Fair-CBS â€œ48 Hoursâ€ special on enduring Hollywood mysteries, Burrough is republishing his story as an e-book, complete with a new Afterword that brings Mirandaâ€™s extraordinary tale up to date with the names of still more leading men who fell under her spell, from Bono to Rush Limbaugh. Writes Burrough: â€œIn 30 years in the fieldâ€¦I donâ€™t think Iâ€™ve ever come across another [story] like itâ€¦. She has much to say about what men want, what men need, and how to keep a man coming back for more.â€
