How William Keck earned the trust of Nicole Brown Simpson’s family

TV Confidential with Ed Robertson

TVC 665.2: William Keck, author of When You Step Upon A Star: Cringeworthy Confessions of a Tabloid Bad Boy, tells Ed the back story of the outlandish lengths he took to land the first interview with Juditha Brown, mother of Nicole Brown Simpson, in June 1994 (a few days after Nicole’s funeral), when he was a reporter with the National Enquirer; how he managed to win the trust of Mrs. Brown almost immediately, despite invading her privacy, simply by asking the right question; and how Will’s exclusive access to the Brown family helped changed the public perception of the Enquirer from tabloid rag to the most reliable source of information about the murder of Nicole and the subsequent trial of O.J. Simpson. When You Step Upon A Star is available wherever books are sold through Jacobs Brown Media Group.
