I'll tell you why I still doubt it ... the Library of
Congress lists ghost writers and other authors who are
attributed to works that are copyrighted there and there's no
mention of Craig Rice being an author of any works other than
those directly attributed (it also lists who Craig really is
as well). Acknowledged fact would be Gypsy Rose Lee stating
that Craig Rice wrote her books in a biography or
correspondence between the two or a publisher's statement or
a contract, etc., something stated first hand. Someone saying
it's so isn't acknowledged fact. I'm not saying it's not so,
but I wouldn't be stating it as fact without harder evidence
to that point. If you're wrong you are doing a great
disservice to the author. I watched a biography piece on
A&E about Gypsy Lee Rose and there's no mention
whatsoever of her not being the author. Granted, they may
have gotten it wrong but they are typically rather thorough
in their documentaries including information such as Craig
Rice being the ghost writer of the works attributed to GLR
being a norm not an exception.

I believe it's not opinion, but an acknowledged fact. It's in so many bibliographies (Hubin's, for example) that I find it very hard to not believe it. Rice did lots of other ghostwriting jobs, George Sanders for example.
