RIP Dominick, you were a great contributor to society...you will be missed :)
And I'm wondering who will be the 3rd famous person to die today... First Teddy, then Mr. Dunn... Who's next?
A rare breed, one-of-a-kind. His brilliant perceptiveness and tactful yet honest perceptions will be missed.
Enjoyed his work, RIP DD.
He Joins the late great author Frank McCourt, both will be missed.
A Great Author.. Mica I agree he was brillant with his perspective, honest and tactful. I will miss his work !
How very sad. He was a fabulous author. At least he lived long enough to see O.J. behind bars.
Amen to that Robin. KUDOS.
I can't believe he is dead! I loved watching him on CourTV and I loved his voice. He was an awesom story teller.
He lived a rich and full life, 83! God Bless him and may he rest in peace!
Rest in Peace - Wonderful Professional
I really liked him. He was cool. I like the show he has now about the lives of the rich and famous. I'll keep watching it. God bless his soul.
Dominick Dunne took the murder of his daughter and made the horrible event into a lifelong passion for victims and for justice. I also am glad that he got to see O.J. behind bars.
Did they catch the scum that killed her ?
Yes they did. He was an abusive ex-boyfriend that she was desperately trying to get away from. For some unknown reason he was basically given a slap on the wrist and was sentenced to a ridicously light sentence. He actually tried to blame Mr. Dunne for the difficulties he faced when Mr. Dunne made the case public and changed his last name to his mother's first name.
I will miss your intelligence and compassion for the victims and their families. I loved the sound of your intriguing voice and will miss you very much. Rest in Peace and be your Family's Angel. There will never be another like you.
Dom Dunne will be sorely missed by many. Although I never had the good fortune of meeting him, in ways I feel as though I knew him; perhaps because he put his life history out there and for that I am thankful. The struggles he overcame made him an inspiration to myself and hopefully others. Dominick was a survivor and will be remembered fondly. My heart goes out to his family. May you rest in peace Mr. Dunne you will be missed but never forgotten.
what a huge and sad loss.
RIP Mr Dunne
I read Vanity Fair just to see what Dominick Dunn was writing about. What a wonderful advocate for victims he was and just an interesting person. He will surely be missed by many.
Condolences to his family.
Great writer. Great reporter.
He will be missed.
I'm comforted by the fact he's now seeing his beloved Dominique in heaven.
Yes...he spent his life trying to "out" the rich and famous whose status forgave them their crimes. Until he came on board to "out" them their priviledge. I, also, hope he is with his much loved daughter who was murdered. I'm sure ANY parent would want to spend their life to bring justice for his child...and others.
Mr. Dunne was one of my favorite authors and he will be greatly missed, I cannot remember receiving a copy of Vanity Fair and not turning directly to his articles. A great man, my condolences to the family, especially Griffin, whose work I also enjoy.
I loved that man and all his shows, if I could have met him in person it would be so great they are all about jackson and farrah and now kennedy but this man was truly the best of them all may he write his last chapter in heaven.
Thanks, Mr Dunne, for many hours of entertainment! We will miss you.
No offense to you...but it way MORE than entertainment. It was a quest.
Dominick Dunne was one of my favorite authors, and I will truly miss him! We have lost one of the best authors, and reporters of our time! I am calling Dominick a reporter because of his outstanding coverage of the OJ Simpson trial and other trials! I have been a subscriber to Vanity Fair magazine for decades, and I always turned to Dunne's articles as soon as the latest magazine arrived.
RIP Dominick - you have left your mark on the world! :(
RIP Mr. Dunne. I have always enjoyed reading his articles in Vanity Fair. His articles were always interesting and well written.
Such a great loss. I loved the mpovies, made for GV's, and his books and articles. He took his own tragic loss and developed a huge following and talent from it. May his memory be for a blessing...
+RIP Great author, wonderful researcher. Will be irreplaceable.
Watch the documentary about Dominick Dunne's life/career--'After the Party'-it is amazing. A TRUE American hero died today. Rest in peace, to a fine gentleman. Thanks for all the years of insight and entertainment. You are already missed.
Good riddance @!$%#er! Dominick Dunne was a opportunist that took years of journalistic license to express his anger over his daughter's murder which he never got over. He's actually no different than Martin Bashir who also fabricated lies during his "Living with Michael Jackson." He should have been "tuned-up" when he wrote the book about the Simpson trial. Too bad that Nicole's real killer had to lay low or maybe he or she would have got to Dunne next. And as for Ron Goldman, he wouldn't be dead to this day if he wouldn't have been as hot, willing, and ready to sleep with Nicole under the guise of returning her glasses as he was. I bet they both thought up that excuse collectively earlier that night, so you reap what you sow. Later old coger.
I think you left the "f" out of your name. I can only guess what Your obit will say.
LOL! My guess is that this MindFart guy was on the Simpson jury.
Mindart...see my reply below.
Dear [out-of-your]Mindart,
Considering the foolish allegations contained in your post, you are clearly an uneducated idiot; have severe mental impairmets; and/or you really were on the Simpson "jury". And for your information, Nicole was NOT married to OJ at the time of her murder and did not need to cook up any 'excuses'. My sympathy to your Mother.
I hate that he's gone. I thoroughly enjoyed his program Power, Privilege and Justice on True TV. I admired his forthright manner, in calling it as he saw it. His own personal experience with his daughter's murder, gave him a deeper understanding about our court system especially as it applied to the have's and not the not's. His coverage of high profile crime in the court room, will truly be missed. He was a gentlemen to the end.
I don't know what mindfarts problem is but Mr. Dunne was anything but an oppurtunist. God bless him he went through hell, when his daughter died. I loved his books and like others when straight to his column in Vanity Fair. Couldn't stand Grayson but loved Mr. Dunne. May his sons find peace in knowing their father is with their sister. I believe he actually should have the privelge to be laid in Arlington Cementary instead of Kennedy.
I didn't know he was ill. I am so sorry to hear this news. I loved his books and especially enjoyed his Court TV series. He will be missed.
Mindart....you have serious issues. Have you seen a psychiatrist lately? If not, make an appointment ASAP.
My condolences to the Dunne family. Dominick was an extremely intelligent person who always spoke from his heart. He will be missed.
RIP, Mr. Dunne.
