The Rudy Vallée Files: Secrets of America's First Pop Star

In the 1930s, Ralph de la Osa Sr. was Rudy Vallée's chauffeur. He spent the rest of his life writing about it. Ninety years after the events Ralph wrote about, his great-granddaughter, Silvana de la Osa, is testing his account against court transcripts, financial records, and archives: the wiretaps he swore were faked, the photographs never explained, and what his own family never knew. Check out the details at whatsurfaced.substack.com, where Silvana has published several posts about her research. You can also find the manuscript that Ralph wrote on Amazon or where you buy your books, called "The Secrets My Great-Grandfather Tried to Tell": https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HFCMB32F .
