Marie Brenner [Vanity Fair] – Vanity Fair Magazine – May 1996 – ‘The Insider’ Article which inspired the movie
£165.00
A very good copy of the May 1996 Vanity Fair magazine, featuring a spectacular 61 athlete portfolio of America’s young Olympic hopefuls, photographed by Annie Leibovitz just a few months out from the Atlanta Olympic Games.
The article on page 110 written by Marie Brenner, titled “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” profiled Jeffrey Wigand, a former tobacco executive turned whistleblower who exposed the industry’s deceptive practices about nicotine addiction. This article became the basis for Michael Mann’s 1999 film The Insider, starring Russell Crowe as Wigand and Al Pacino as journalist Lowell Bergman. The film dramatised corporate pressure, media ethics, and the personal cost of revealing the truth in the face of immense power.
