description: On top of Mt. 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 slipping 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 on Broadway, on the movie lots ofHollywood and Europe, in the gay nightlife of New York and Paris. Here, too, is the horrible nightworld of booze and pills - pep pills, sleeping pills, red pills, blue pills, pills to chase the world away and pills to help one clutch to sanity - the lethal "dolls" of the glittering people. They are the magic tickets to peace and oblivion...even death...in the VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.
