Confessions of a Hollywood PI Case File: Babes In Babylon

by Don Crutchfield

Overview

Confessions of a Hollywood P.I. (Case File: Babes in Babylon) is an inside look at one of the most highly charged topics of our time: the crushing effect of fame and fortune on young people. This riveting story is told by Don Crutchfield, widely regarded as Hollywood’s top private investigator. During his three decades as “PI to the stars”, Crutchfield has seen Hollywood’s children assaulted by unstable parents, torn apart by violent custody battles and destroyed by drugs.
A moving chronicle of children growing up in the show of the spotlight, confessions….combines the reality of true-crime and the excitement of a detective novel with the sizzle of a Hollywood expose. PI Crutchfield has selected the most provocative cases from his extensive files, including those involving Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson, Roseanne Barr, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland and the Beatles.
Unlike the tabloids, this book is a real-life message and wake-up call to parents and the film/entertainment industry, where signposts can be better recognized as Crutchfield reveals the ways in which he successfully protected celebrity kids, and how responsible parents, agents and friends can work together to circumvent future tragedy.
