Based on the true story of the author of the notorious (scandalous?) ''The Valley of the Dolls'', we follow the struggling actress as she is swept off her feet by a press agent who is hopelessly in love with her. Under his prompting, she writes a novel, which they eventually get published. After a slow start it takes off. In the meantime, she is dealing with breast cancer...
Ian Douglas: The film gets off to a bumpy start with weak humour, but once it settles down into the story, it is much more enjoyable. Pleasant fluff, with all the characters type-cast.
