Tabloid Prodigy, a memoir
Published by Running Press, a Division of Perseus Books
Marlise, the daughter of a minister, grew up in a loving, conservative, slightly sheltered family, and aspired to a career as a respected journalist. She was perhaps the least likely person to become an undercover reporter for Globe and Star magazines. But, right out of college, with a journalism degree and few job prospects, she became a tabloid writer, playing the high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with some of Hollywood's hottest celebrities.
Using a combination of charm and brains, Marlise convinced co-workers, waiters, bouncers and bartenders to confess the juicy secrets of Hollywood stars. On the red carpet and VIP guest lists, she assumed countless identities, including those of a florist, a tennis player, a mourner, and a bridesmaid.
Torn between her journalistic duties and her moral responsibilities, Marlise tried to ignore the battle with her conscience, telling herself this wasn't a permanent job, just a stepping stone to a more respectable career.
This riveting and entertaining memoir is full of her outrageous-but-true tabloid experiences. In an industry where turnover is high, and loyalty low, Marlise survived multiple bosses, a rotating roster of photographers, professional shenanigans, terrifying situations, and comical predicaments. She eventually wrote over 200 articles for the tabloids.
Her biggest story, though, is the one she's never told before; how—after a dangerous high-speed chase, a corporate betrayal of her trust, and the doubts that continued to plague her—Marlise came face-to-face with a story her conscience would not allow her to tell.
After so many years of lying about who she really was, Marlise had to discover her own truth. As this memoir reveals, her redemption is more honest and personal than any celebrity news she's ever reported.
