As a team of veteran travel writers, Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince have produced various titles for Frommer's, including guides to Italy, France, England, and Germany. A film critic, columnist, and broadcaster, Porter is also a Hollywood biographer. His recent releases include Brando Unzipped, documenting the private life of Marlon Brando, and Jacko: His Rise and Fall, the first complete biography ever written on the tumultuous life of Michael Jackson. Prince was formerly employed by the Paris bureau of the New York Times and is today the president of Blood Moon Productions. Porter and Prince's latest non-travelrelated venture, jointly co-authored and published in 2008 by Blood Moon, is Hollywood Babylon—It's Back!, which one critic described as "the hottest compilation of intergenerational scandal in the history of Hollywood."
