The story of Vikki LaMotta\'s life reads like a highlight reel from a television mini-series. Born into poverty. Raped at age fourteen. Pregnant and married at sixteen. Subjected to brutal beatings by her husband world middleweight champion Jake LaMotta. Vikki left Jake, worked as a chorus girl to support three young children, was pursued by Frank Sinatra and became romantically involved with mob boss Sam Giancana.At one on time or another, she crossed paths with the likes of Babe Ruth, Jimmy Durante, Johnny Carson, and Robert DeNiro. At age 51, she posed nude for Playboy. The issue sold more copies to women than any issue of Playboy ever. Vikki\'s own story is now told and written with acclaimed author Thomas Hauser, and reveals much new information about her amazing life.Knockout is a straight-from-the-heart account of a life filled with sex and violence that ultimately became a survivor\'s journey to redemption long before the #MeToo Movement.
