The Unbelievable True Stories Behind 25 of This Year's Biggest Movies

One of the most celebrated literary figures of our time never existed at all. J.T. LeRoy is the wild true story of a woman named Savannah Knoop who posed as the titular author at the urging of her sister-in-law. In truth, LeRoy was always fictitious — he was nothing more than the pen name of Knoop's sister-in-law, but for a time, members of the Hollywood and fashion elite became enamored with the mercurial figure they knew only as J.T. LeRoy. The film stars Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern.
