Dominick Dunne, best-selling author and host of the long-running truTV series
Power, Privilege and Justice, died today at his home in Manhattan, according to his son Griffin Dunne. He was 83 years old. Dunne had been fighting bladder cancer for a number of years.
"Dominick Dunne has been a valued and beloved contributor to truTV through
Power, Privilege and Justice. He was a master storyteller who dug deeply into the legal details of notorious criminal cases, but always kept his eye on the human story behind the crimes. We will miss him dearly" said Marc Juris, executive vice president and general manager of truTV/IN SESSION, in a statement today.
He is survived by his sons, Griffin and Alexander, and a granddaughter, Hannah.
