Joyce Haber

Joyce Haber (1931–1993) was an American gossip columnist who worked for the Los Angeles Times.

Haber was one of Hollywood's last powerful gossip columnist who "were capable of canonizing a film or destroying a star". She took over the old job of famed Hedda Hopper.[1][2]

Haber left the Times in 1976 to write a roman a clef titled The Users. It was her only novel, rose to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List,[1][2] and was made into a film with the same name.
