FRED OTASH The True Story of a HOLLYWOOD FIXER
Closer US
|March 25, 2024
BACK IN THE GOLDEN YEARS, WHEN A CELEBRITY GOT INTO BIG TROUBLE, ONLY ONE MAN COULD HELP
Late one August night in 1962, actor Peter Lawford arrived at the LA apartment of private detective Fred Otash in a sorry state. “I think Mari lyn is dead,” he blurted to the man Hollywood trusted to make all their most scan dalous problems go away.
A new book, The Fixer: Moguls, Mobsters, Movie Stars and Marilyn (due out April 16), seeks to tell the real story of Otash, a former LA cop turned private detective to the stars. “Fred was larger than life and stranger than fiction,” Manfred Westphal, who wrote the book with Josh Young, tells Closer.
