PAT KINGSLEY

“Hollywood’s Powerful Image Machine” (July 10) makes it clear that Pat Kingsley demands and gets control over press coverage of her celebrity clients. Author Michael Cieply, however, avoids answering the obvious: Would Kingsley have allowed her interview to run without a cover? Did she have final photograph approval?

I doubt that Kingsley would ever relinquish her power--even to the Los Angeles Times.
