Early life and career
Pablo F. Fenjves was born in Caracas, Venezuela, on August 16, 1953, to Hungarian Holocaust survivors. He went to college in Illinois. Fenjves' first journalism job was in Canada. He joined the National Enquirer in Florida in the late 1970s, where he befriended Judith Regan.[3][4]
Fenjves has ghostwritten more than a dozen books, including two number one New York Times Best-Sellers, Witness and Blood Brother. He also ghostwrote the autobiographies and memoirs of Bernie Mac, Janice Dickinson, and David Foster.
If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer
Fenjves collaborated with O. J. Simpson to ghostwrite If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer,[3] an account of the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. The book was pulled by the publisher just weeks before its release date, but it was subsequently revived by Fred Goldman, father of murder victim Ron Goldman, and spent five weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list. Fenjves had a personal connection to the murder, as he lived a few doors down from the Brentwood murder scene, and had testified against Simpson regarding the time at which he heard Nicole Brown Simpson's dog barking.[5][6]
Fenjves stated in interviews that Simpson actively collaborated on the manuscript and that he knew Simpson was a murderer.[7]
