 | "This is the story of three gifted women, of their climb to fame and wealth, and of the soul-crushing price they pay for their precarious place on the mountain peak. Here are their worlds, behind the lights of Broadway, on the movie lots of Hollywood and Europe, in the gay nightlife of New York and Paris. Here too, is the horrible nightworld of booze and pills – pep pills, sleeping pills, red pills, blue pills, pills to chase the world away and pills to help one clutch at sanity – the lethal “dolls” of the glittering people. They are magic tickets to peace and oblivion… and even death… in the VALLEY OF THE DOLLS."

 | "Jacqueline Susann was born in Philadelphia; her mother was a school teacher and her father was Robert Susann, the famous portrait painter. Dazzled at the age of six by the glow of footlights, young Jacqueline announced that she was going to be an actress. Ten years later, amid protestations of New York or bust, she left Philadelphia, over family objections, for the intoxicating aura of Broadway."
