description: Triumph &amp; TragedyEveryone knows Jacqueline Susann wrote Valley of the Dolls, Once is not Enough and The Love Machine - but they don't know the true story behind the books, nor the tragic figure who made them come alive.Jacqueline Susann sailed through success like a queen - on Broadway, TV and in print. She was the Billion Dollar Baby who knew how to sell herself to millions. Like her writing, her image was sexy and wild, yet her own life was strangely different.She was the female Barnum, except she didn't fool the people, she gave us what we wanted. And beneath the surface of success lay the secret of her power: she was a dying woman - a woman driven to make her name remembered long after her death.
