Falling Hard in Hollywood: Nine Slightly True Short Stories Jt Debold

From the author of, "Life Times Nine", "The Guest House Chronicles", "Eight Founding Queens", "The Transient Realm" and "The Pink Reich" -- Taking historical facts and blending them with a plausible dose of speculation takes the thinly-veiled lives of nine true-to-life celebrities and brings theory to their detriment and demise. Among the characters are two friends with identical origins. One found fame and fortune while the other never got past obscurity because the cruel reach of fate stood in her way. Gone is the actress who discovered her husband's secret only to die of mysterious circumstances. His truth will forever be brought into question. Disgraced and incarcerated are the studio leaders who contributed to the casting couch, brought down by a movement of people silenced by fear. Long forgotten is the former A-list actress from yesteryear who married her step-son. Dead under mysterious circumstances is the actor whose sex addiction subsidized his career as he struggled to remain a viable star. The circumstances surrounding his murder are scandalous but continue to promote the notion that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Other stories include the singer who fell hard from drug addiction; the comedian whose life was no laughing matter and the dancer whose life was seemingly cursed. These nine short stories are fictional accounts of the tragic lives of past and present Hollywood infamy. They bring to the reader the mystery of fact versus fiction. Names are fictitious but what else is not? Historical gaps are pervaded by the speculation surrounding those who would find themselves falling hard in Hollywood. Is it gossip or is it good reading?
