      When “The Eds.” is used, it means the material has been contributed by the authors and staff of The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People.

      The way in which people make love may tell us more about them than any searching analysis could.

      —Maurice Nadeau, editor of Les Lettres Nouvelles

      The New, Expanded Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People

      When the first edition of this book was released back in 1981, with long-suppressed information about political, scientific, literary and musical leaders, it was not the sort of thing that normally saw distribution on the front tables of major booksellers. Sure, there was The Joy of Sex and myriad racy how-to tomes, but rarely did this newfound sexual freedom impinge on the official biographies of well-known and distinguished men and women in world history.

      It really seemed shocking to read about the intimacies of buttoned-up world leaders, one kink after the other. According to the authors, the search for facts was difficult and challenging. They read biographies, over 1,500 of them, including many in foreign languages that they had translated just for the purpose. They pored over rare pamphlets, correspondence, periodicals and newspapers on microfilm; they also leafed through legal transcripts and medical reports. They talked with lovers, confidants and associates of numerous people within the book.

      The authors of this book were in fact a famous publishing family on their own. Father Irving Wallace (March 19, 1916-June 29, 1990) was a bestselling author of dozens of novels, non-fiction books and screenplays; son David Wallechinsky co-wrote the influential What Really Happened to the Class of ’65?, expert collections on the winter and summer Olympics, and the book Tyrants that adds to his yearly feature on the “World’s Worst Dictators” for Parade Magazine. Wife and mother Sylvia Wallace (who passed away in 2006) wrote the bestselling novels The Fountains and Empress. Daughter Amy Wallace also wrote, among many other books, Sorcerer’s Apprentice, the fascinating memoir of her life with the invisible guru, Carlos Castaneda.

      The Wallaces put together such bestselling books as the multi-volume The Book of Lists, The People’s Almanac, and The Book of Predictions. The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People (originally published by Delacorte Press) was one of the most fascinating works by this enterprising, daring and industrious family.

      More than 25 years later, Amy Wallace and David Wallechinsky return to Sex Lives adding new profiles on Kurt Cobain, Wilt Chamberlain, Nico, Ayn Rand, Aleister Crowley, Jim Morrison, Anna Nicole Smith, Malcolm X, Michael Hutchence, Tupac Shakur and Carlos Castaneda. David and Amy have also added a handy cross-referenced list of Sexual Characteristics held by the many people of influence within the book.

      Perhaps the best thing about The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People is its rectitude, respect and (yes) fairness. If only the tabloid gossip-mongers had such sophistication. Yes, you can have your cake and eat her too.

      Sex Symbols

      Star of the Folies

      JOSEPHINE BAKER (June 3, 1906-Apr. 12, 1975)

      HER FAME: In the 1920s and 1930s, dancer-singer Josephine Baker became the first black female entertainer to star in the Folies Bergère as well as the first American black woman to achieve international renown. Dancing the Charleston, wearing only a blue and red ring of feathers around her hips, she took Paris by storm.

      HER PERSON: Her mother, Carrie Smith, told Josephine that her father was a Spaniard whose family would not allow him to marry a black woman. As an infant, Josephine was sent to live with her grandmother. She had an affinity for music and on Saturdays joined in neighborhood jam sessions. By the time Josephine returned to her mother, Carrie had married a man named Baker and had given birth to three more children. They lived in a one-room shack in the poorest section of St. Louis, Mo.
