Good Girl, Bad Girl: An Insider's Biography of Whitney Houston


Whitney Houston is a show-business phenomenon and one of Hollywood's most sought after black actresses. Here is the first ever behind-the-scenes book about Whitney. It is written by Kevin Ammons, who has spent a great deal of time with Whitney. He knows that beneath her glamorous image lies a troubled woman who has let success go to her head. Good Girl, Bad Girl travels behind closed doors to reveal: Why Whitney really married Bobby Brown. Whey her close childhood friend Robyn Crawford threatened suicide. Why Kevin Costner, Oprah Winfrey, and Madonna are on her hate list. Why Whitney refuses to heed doctors' warnings that she will ruin her voice. The truth behind Whitney's alleged affair with Eddie Murphy and Robert DeNiro's pursuit of her. Despite her incredible fame, fortune, talent, and beauty, Whitney suffers from low self-esteem and takes out her anger on those closest to her. Like Whitney Houston's life and career, this remarkable inside story sizzles.
