Forever Amber by Kathryn, Inc (owned by Kay Daumit) launched in 1945 in connection with the 1943 novel by Kathleen Winsor. The novel tells the story of amorous courtesan Amber St. Clare in the court and bedroom of Charles II. The novel was banned in Boston and throughout Massachusetts, and the controversy over its purported indecency stimulated sales and became a bestseller . The book's popularity was further aided by the film version directed by Otto Preminger in 1947.
