Mr. Heymann is the author of several acclaimed biographies, including Poor Little Rich Girl: The Life and Legend of Barbara Hutton, A Woman Named Jackie: An Intimate Biography of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, and Liz: An Intimate Biography of Elizabeth Taylor.

Collection Note

The material contained within the Robert F. Kennedy Collection was utilized by Mr. Heymann for the purpose of writing R.F.K: A Candid Biography of Robert F. Kennedy. It provides researchers with a comprehensive look at the political and personal life of Robert Kennedy. Documents include manuscript drafts, correspondence, newspaper clippings, personality files, and interviews. The collection consists of four series: Chronological Subject Files, RFK Manuscript Materials, Photographs, and Interviews.

The original order and folder headings have been maintained where applicable and re-created in other instances to assist researchers. Items housed in acidic or metal housings have been removed from these housings for preservation reasons. These materials have been placed in acid free folders and containers. All metal clips have been removed and replaced, in accordance with accepted archival standards of preservation.
