Book

When first published, the book became an instant success and since its original publication has sold more than 20 million copies. The book was the first of its genre by a female author to achieve that degree of commercial success, and led the way for other authors such as Jackie Collins to depict, as fiction, the private lives of the real-life rich and famous.

Movie

The subsequent film, produced by David Weisbart and directed by Mark Robson, received a great deal of publicity during its production. Upon release it was a commercial success, but was universally panned by critics. It was rereleased in 1969 following the murder of star Sharon Tate, and once again proved commercially viable. In the years since its production it has come to be regarded as a camp classic. Barbara Parkins, recently attending a special screening of the film in San Francisco, made a personal appearance at the theater and told the sold-out crowd of mostly gay men, "I know why you like it... because it's so bad!"

Plot

Neely O'Hara is a plucky kid with undeniable talent who is working in a Broadway play which stars the legendary actress Helen Lawson. Jennifer North, a beautiful blonde with limited talent is appearing in the chorus. Anne Welles has recently arrived from New England with hopes of success in New York City and she is working for an agency that represents Helen Lawson. The three women become fast friends, and share a bond of ambition and the tendency to be involved with the wrong men.
