The unforgettable Loretta Darling : a novel
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (page 399).

"It's 1950 and Loretta Reynolds is newly arrived in Hollywood, fresh off a con that brought her from England to the sunny shores of California. She's running away from rumors and towards her ambition to become a makeup artist to the stars. But when her new aspiring-actor husband takes her to a sex-fueled Hollywood party on their wedding night hoping to trade her to a powerful director for a favor, she discovers the darker side of Tinseltown and sets out on a path of revenge against the men who play God. Loretta is not alone-she amasses a band of La-La-Land misfits: an aging starlet past her prime, a friendly neighborhood sex worker, and a brooding screenwriter who proves yes, not all men-just most... So when Loretta's big break finally comes, Hollywood better beware, because there's something deadlier than makeup lurking in her beauty case, and not all her clients will make it out alive..."--,Provided by publisher.
