Talent. Ambition. Jealousy and Self-Destruction.
(Colour, 1967) Lured by their dreams and fortune, three ambitious young women enter the world of show business and discover how easy it is to sink into a celebrity nightmare of ego, alcohol and 'pills'- the beloved "dolls." A prim New Englander (BARBARA PARKINS) unexpectedly skyrockets from her job as a secretary in a talent agency to a glamorous TV model. A determined singer (PATTY DUKE) finds that Hollywood success can also spell self-destruction. And a beautiful sex symbol (SHARON TATE) is torn between the money commands and the shame of feeling exploited. Based on Jacqueline Susann's phenomenal best-seller about the underside of Hollywood, this fascinating melodrama was once seen as a shocking behind-the-scenes look at how show business creates instant stars, destroys romances and changes personalities forever.
118 Minutes.
