Porter is also a noted Hollywood biographer, author of such recent releases as Brando Unzipped and Jacko: His Rise and Fall which documents the saga of Michael Jackson in a way that London’s Guardian and Observer defined as “dangerously addictive.” Four of Porter’s recent biographies have been serialized in major newspapers of the U.K., including The Sunday Times and The Mail on Sunday, and collectively, they’ve earned at least six awards from literary foundations in the U.S. Porter is also a widely respected film critic, entertainment columnist, and radio commentator, with broadcasts heard in all 50 states.
