Any recommendations for good gossipy auto/biographies?

Preferably from old school public figures or celebrities.

I loved Scott Mitchell's biog of Barbara Windsor, Amy Price's one on Katie, Kenneth Williams diaries, Miriam Margolyse... Sharon Osbourne, High brow or low brow as long as they are well written/ghosted and have some proper juicy bits not just info everyone already knows!

Poring through bestsellers and nothing is appealing to me!! Thanks!

Ma’am Darling by Craig Brown, on Princess Margaret, is great. It’s on the higher brow end, but the tone is great because it’s not at all fawning and quite salty.

The most obvious one is The Insider by Piers Morgan. Full of gossip from his time on The Daily Mirror. Mark Boyd the editor of Heat magazine wrote one as well.

Ha I opened this thread to recommend Ma'am Darling but see someone beat me to it!

Ooh brill! Thanks all, I'm definitely looking up the Princess Margaret biog, she was definitely quite a character!
