I hear a Kevin Spacey biography is about to be released. The author is that well known Spaceyphile, Robin Tamblyn, who has used the Hollywood star as an inspiration for at least one of his fictions - see Madame Arcati's interview with Tamblyn from December 2006. [I should explain that Robin is a female who regards himself as a gay man in a woman's body - the interview clarifies this]
The book I understand will be no "expo" - Tamblyn, 33, has given this assurance to Spacey on Twitter - and may first be released on the internet in extracts. Whether Spacey's brother Randy Fowler has contributed to the project remains unknown, but he and Robin are friendly and I wouldn't be surprised. Tamblyn is seeking a publisher: in the past he has self-published his titles.
Though a double Oscar winner, fascinating Spacey has been off-limits to biographers - even clippings-dependent auto-bio-hacks have given him a wide berth. Randy was working on a memoir with ghost writer Jack Ewing but that project appears to have evaporated - see my interview with Jack and with Randy. Randy's ex-wife Stephanie Mastini also spoke to Madame Arcati.
One can only hope that Robin's opus won't open the floodgates.
