Doris Kearns Goodwin

Doris Kearns Goodwin is a world-renowned, presidential historian, public speaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times #1 best-selling author and partner in Pastimes Productions.

Goodwin is often called upon by the news media and late night TV hosts as well as hundreds of companies, educational institutions, government agencies and nonprofits to share her vast knowledge of leadership and provide historical context for current day events, as our democracy is challenged, international wars rage, and we continue to struggle in a divided and polarized country.

Her eighth book, An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s, was published in Spring 2024, became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller and is being developed as a feature film by Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, Eon Productions鈥� Barbara Broccoli and Goodwin鈥檚 own Pastimes Productions. Artfully weaving together biography, memoir, and history, this new book takes readers on the emotional journey Doris and her husband, Richard (Dick) Goodwin embarked upon in the last years of his life as they delved into more than 300 boxes of letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia that Dick had saved for more than fifty years. The Goodwins quickly realized they had before them an unparalleled personal time capsule of the 1960s of the events and pivotal figures of the decade鈥擩ohn Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, and especially Lyndon Johnson, who greatly impacted both their lives. Their voyage of remembrance brought unexpected discoveries, forgiveness, and the renewal of old dreams, reviving the hope that the youth of today will carry forward this unfinished love story with America.

In Fall 2024, Goodwin鈥檚 first book for young readers, The Leadership Journey: How Four Kids Became President, was published. Especially tailored for educational use, Goodwin brings to middle-grade book decades of rich research combined with deep knowledge of Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. Adapted by Ruby Shamir from Goodwin鈥檚 seventh book, Leadership In Turbulent Times, the two books have in common that they provide an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field, and for all of us in our everyday lives.

In 2020, Goodwin executive produced her first documentary miniseries, 鈥淲ashington鈥� for the History Channel, through her independent production company, Pastimes Productions Inc. Miniseries on Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt followed.

Goodwin previously authored six critically acclaimed and New York Times bestselling books, including the Carnegie Medal winner The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism and Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, in part the basis for Steven Spielberg鈥檚 film 鈥淟incoln,鈥� which earned 12 Academy Award庐 nominations, including an Academy Award for actor Daniel Day-Lewis for his portrayal of the 16th president. Team of Rivals is often cited as an inspiration for business and political leaders, including President Barack Obama, and was awarded the prestigious Lincoln Prize, the inaugural Book Prize for American History, and Goodwin in 2016 was the first historian to receive the Lincoln Leadership Prize from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation.

Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in History for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II. Her The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys was adapted into an award-winning ABC television miniseries.

Goodwin鈥檚 career as a presidential historian and author was inspired when as a 24-year-old graduate student at Harvard Doris Kearns was selected to join the White House Fellows, one of America鈥檚 most prestigious programs for leadership and public service. At the White House celebration of the newly chosen Fellows, Kearns and the other two female Fellows found themselves sharing the dance floor with President Johnson. Johnson told Kearns that he wanted her to be assigned directly to him in the White House. But it was not to be that simple. For like many young people, she had been active in the anti-Vietnam War movement and had co-authored an article that called for the removal of LBJ from office and was published in the New Republic several days after the White House dance. Despite this, LBJ said: 鈥淏ring her down here for a year and if I can鈥檛 win her over no one can.鈥� She worked with Johnson in the White House and later assisted him in the writing of his memoirs.

Goodwin then wrote her first book, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, which became a national bestseller and achieved critical acclaim. It was re-released in Spring 2019, highlighting LBJ鈥檚 accomplishments in domestic affairs.

Goodwin has served as a consultant and has been interviewed extensively for PBS and HISTORY鈥檚 documentaries on Presidents Johnson, Roosevelt and Lincoln, the Kennedy family, and on Ken Burns鈥� 鈥淭he History of Baseball鈥� and 鈥淭he Roosevelts: An Intimate History.鈥� She served as a consultant on HBO Films鈥� 鈥淎ll the Way鈥� starring Bryan Cranston as President Johnson. She played herself as a teacher to Lisa Simpson on 鈥淭he Simpsons鈥� and a historian on 鈥淎merican Horror Story.鈥�

Goodwin has received numerous awards for her books and career, including the inaugural American History Book Prize from the New-York Historical Society, the Gold Medal for biography from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and most recently the Washington Irving Medal for Literary Excellence from the Saint Nicholas Society of the City of New York for An Unfinished Love Story.
