Publisher Comments:
Valley of the Dolls, first published in 1966, skyrocketed to the top of "The New York Times hardcover best-seller list and later went on to sell an unprecedented eight million copies in paperback. Jacqueline Susann's sensational story of three pill-popping show-biz women (whom she modeled, rumor has it, after Judy Garland, Grace Kelly, and Marilyn Monroe) perfectly crystallized the decadence of the 1960s. A Pucci-clad superstar, Jackie blurred the boundaries between her own persona and the characters she wrote about. With Valley of the Dolls, Susann went far beyond showing us the seamier side of the entertainment world — she ushered in a whole new genre of mass-market fiction and staked her claim as a pop pioneer.
Review:
"I should say, first of all, that I have absolutely no criticisms to make of this book. It is perfect, and I'm not just saying that because I practically memorized it at the age of 13 and it was one of my primary illicit sources of sexual information in the gap between information and experience, and I therefore view it with fond nostalgia....However melodramatic its plot may be, Valley of the Dolls is simply old-fashioned riveting." New York Magazine, Mim Udovitch
