Edward J. Funk grew up the fourth child in rural Indiana, graduated from Marquette University, and fought in Viet Nam. He eventually worked in advertising at “Sea World of Florida” in Florida and “The Queen Mary” in Long Beach, California. In 1990 he started his collaboration with actress Loretta Young. What started as a working relationship soon developed into a friendship that grew throughout Miss Young's last decade. At one point she told him that he was her best friend.

Their collaboration gave fruit to a trilogy: “Behind the Door: the Real Story of Loretta Young,” the biography of Miss Young, “Loretta and Me,” the story of the ten year interaction between the author and Miss Young, and “Eavesdropping: Loretta Young Talks about her Movie Years.” 

Mr. Funk has embarked on both non-fiction and fiction.
