“An Extraordinary Life”: The Dominick Dunne Papers shared the story of the acclaimed journalist and writer’s life as documented in his personal and professional papers. From remarkable correspondence and photographs to story drafts and notes, the exhibit documented his extraordinary act of reinvention: following the end of his career in the entertainment industry, Dunne embarked upon an ultimately triumphant second act as a journalist and novelist.
