On Top Of Mount Everest,
the bleak and gleaming summit of
success that few people will ever
glimpse, there is a nightmare world
where sex is a weapon, where love is
the smiling mask of hate and slip-
ping youth and fading beauty are
ever-present specters of disaster.
This is the story of three gifted
women, of their climb to fame
and wealth, and of the soul-crushing
price they pay for their precarious
place on the mountain-peak. Here
are their worlds, behind the lights of
Broadway, on the movie lots of
Hollywood and Europe, in the gay
nightlife of New York and Paris.
Here, too, is the horrible nightworld
of booze and pills- pep pills, sleep-
ing pills, red pills, blue pills, pills to
chase the world away and pills to
help one clutch at sanity- the lethal
‘dolls’ of the glittering people. They
are the magic tickets to peace and
oblivion…and even death…in the
VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.
