Inhaltsangabe

Here are four supreme film stars- four fabulous interlocking lives that will stand as dramatic revelations of the incredible world whose unreal realities Tryon himself witnessed at first hand in his own years as a Hollywood star. First, Fedora. "The Perfect Work of Art".Her enigma unriddled- the greatest, the most beautiful, the longest-reigning royalty of them all: her career spanning the twenties, the thirties, the forties, the fifties; her glorious face untouched by time. Lorna. "The All-American Cookie"- sexy, appealing, climbing from cheapie gangster flicks to major roles; and slipping; most recently TV's Perkies Girl (Perkies Pop-Up Blueberry Tarts). Many jobs behind her, many men, much trouble. Now she has come to a secluded resort to find- to heal- herself. Bobbitt. For ten years "America's Fantasy Child," the adorable kiddie star of Bobbitt's Flying Carpet, Bobbitt's Lucky Day, etc., etc., etc.- Top Box Office nationwide. Now he is in his thirties, still adorable. But today the Bobbitt movies don't even turn up on TV tot matinees. And Bobbitt himself- does he exist at all? Willie. For decades a worldwide symbol of elegance and wit. Now he is alone in his showplace Hollywood villa- his precious "Bee" dead, her ashes in a golden urn on the mantel- mourning the past. Until suddenly, fatally, with a knock on the door, the future breaks in.
