- ABOUT THE AUTHOR
- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
“Dinah Manoff’s first novel is not just a fun romp through the glitzy, decadent, dysfunctional world of glamorous stardom, it is much more. It tells the story of a girl who has suffered terrible maternal neglect only to find herself experiencing adulation and attention that feels unearned and unsatisfying. Through the twists and turns of the story, we get to see Jackie in all her hilarious, indulgent brattiness. The ending is the perfect combination of bad Karma and sweet redemption. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
—Brooke Adams, actress
“High jinx, hilarity, and heartbreak abound in Dinah Manoff’s romp through the perilous chase for fame in Hollywood. A comic-tragedy among the glitterati as told by a true insider.”
—Mary Guterson, author of Gone to the Dogs
“The explosive opening captivates the reader immediately! The story of Jackie Gold is unique, intriguing, and fun-filled! Dinah’s creativity never ceases to amaze me. Her descriptions are so vivid that I could feel each location and time period as if I had traveled there. There must be a sequel!”
—Kristy McNichol, actress, comedian, producer, singer
“The very REAL insider look into the ultra-private lives of two hot Hollywood stars. A deep dive into ambition,
abandonment, addiction, and sex (lots of it).
Dinah, my old Pink Lady pal, has created a vivid, sexy portrait of the private doings and undoings of a rich and famous movie star who, through a tragic event, finds grace, happiness and her true self.”
—Didi Conn, actress

MORNING
SFX: CRASHING WAVES
Finally, it is just as I pictured.
Brett on bended knee, velvet box in hand, his popped question hanging in the salt air. My white silk robe slips ever so slightly off one shoulder as I rise gracefully from my perch on the balcony, my left fingers extended, poised for coronation. I part my freshly glossed lips, preparing to utter that one life-changing word of affirmation when I see the helicopters over Brett’s shoulder.
Shit.
They’ve found us.
The front door explodes open.
“Jackie! Brett!”
