Nene King was the queen of the Australian magazine world. For over four years King increased the circulation of Woman's Day by 400,000 sales a week. No cheque was too large to write, no paparazzi shot too intrusive, no story too outrageous - so long as she could serve up the must-have stories for her readers. In the late 80s and into the 90s, if there was a scandal happening somewhere in the world, chances are that Woman's Day would have an exclusive - with photos. She took the magazine to the number one spot and she became on of Australia's most powerful women - feared by the stars, courted by politicians, Kerry Packer's confidante and Queen Bee of the celebritocracy. She was in the Beatles' motel room when they visited Australia; she arrived in London in time for the Summer of Love and lived in South East Asia during the turbulent years of the Vietnam War. She went all the way from interviewing a young housewife by the name of Hazel Hawke - to interviewing the same Hazel and paying her a king's ransom for her side of the break-up with Bob and along the way interviewed Mae West and met Princess Diana. Keeping hr going for 22 years was the great love of her live, Patrick Bowring. But on May 24, 1996, Nene's life changed forever.
