Inspired by my favorite novel, written by Jacqueline Susann, The Valley Of The Dolls is a Best Selling Novel based on the lives of three young women who embark on careers that bring them to the dizzying heights of fame and eventual self-destruction. (Wikipedia, 1)
Gorgeous and socially-correct, the novel captures the hard lives of woman in the post-world war era of the 1950s-60s. The characters seem loosely-based on the famous celebrities of the time such as Marilyn Monroe (Jennifer) and Judy Garland (Neely).
The sim-characters that I have created are based on the actresses in the movie. Barbara Parkins (Anne W), Patty Duke (Neely O), and Sharon Tate (Jennifer N).
I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys drama, with a hint of erotica. READ THE BOOK BEFORE WATCHING THE MOVIE!! In my personal opinion, the movie does not focus on the social-aspects of the novel as much as I wanted it to. The ending is completely different, and they obviously missed out on very important aspects in the film! In any case, I really do hope that they make a remake film to capture how truly beautiful this novel really is!
Thanks for reading,
