About the Creator

Before the 101 is the brainchild of Kathleen Perricone

A mid-century enthusiast, Kathleen was born about 50 years too late. Fortunately, as a history buff she gets to live in the past.

The Hollywood resident is a published author who has written about influential figures such as John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Barack Obama, Anne Frank, Taylor Swift, and dozens more.

Over the past two decades, she's also worked as a celebrity news editor in New York City as well as for Yahoo!, Ryan Seacrest Productions, and a reality TV family who shall remain nameless.
