The Prize Pulitzer: The Scandal that Rocked Palm Beach: The Real Story

Synopsis

She was called the “Strumpet with a Trumpet.” A woman with countless lovers of both sexes. A gold digger. A drug addict. She was caught at the center of the highly publicized scandalous divorce trial that rocked Palm Beach and shocked the nation. She had anything she could have wanted, and then, in one fell swoop, everything was lost—her house, her husband and, most painful of all, her children. And now, at last, Roxanne Pulitzer has chosen to tell her story. The real story behind the sensational headlines and steamy photographs. Finally, The Prize Pulitzer answers all of the questions about: • Jacquie Kimberly, the very young wife of Kleenex heir Jim Kimberly; she was accused in the trial of being Roxanne’s lover. • Liza Pulitzer, Roxanne’s stepdaughter, who had a close relationship with her father and a not so close one with Roxanne. • Herbert Pulitzer, the Palm Beach socialite who cherished his image of being a “self-made man,” and the power he wielded over those around him, including his wife. • Palm Beach and its very rich “beautiful people,” whose goal is to be seen at the right parties and photographed with the right people. In The Prize Pulitzer we find the real Roxanne Pulitzer—a bright, funny, sexy woman. She tells how a small-town innocent young girl came to live the indulgent “sex, drugs and money” life of a Palm Beach socialite. We see a young woman very much in love with her older, richer, more powerful husband, and we see that love destroyed by betrayal and shocking cruelty. We then see a mother desperately fighting for the custody of her two sons, fighting a battle she can’t win thanks to the overw helming publicity and the power of the other side. We certainly see a woman wronged by the legal system, and hv the Palm Beach society that first embraced her and then thrust her out into the cold. Roxanne is, in her own words, a “survivor.” Her story—fascinating, often warm and funny, sometimes chilling—is a lesson in the dangers of living a dream come true, and in how quickly that dream can turn into a nightmare.
