C. David Heymann was a literary biographer (of poets Ezra Pound and the Lowells) turned best-selling celebrity biographer who came to wide attention in 1983 after his book on the life of Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton was withdrawn by its publisher because of factual errors. Heymann also wrote three New York Times best-sellers, including A Woman Named Jackie (1989), a life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis that reached No. 1.
