Who is Tony Castro?
Tagged: HIV, prisonPosted on: August 2nd, 2007“The Daily News new columnist, writer of the weekend piece about Mayor Villaraigosas childhood and personal exaggerations, has been around Los Angeles journalism since he landed a column at the Jim Bellows-run Herald Examiner in 1978. Castro was a boy wonder coming off a Neiman fellowship at Harvard. He reported some notable pieces in more than five years at the Herald, but left under a cloud. Since then he has had a short stint at Sports Illustrated, briefly got in with “MIami Vice” producer Michael Mann, wrote for the National Enquirer, got busted inventing fake stories about Clint Eastwood and others, did time in federal prison, wrote a biography of Mickey Mantle and edited the Los Angeles Independent.”
