"Valley Of The Dolls" is part of my "Books I've Never Read" series, which takes classic, acclaimed book titles, ranging from the cult to the popular- those books which I feels I ‘really should have read’-and attempts to interpret their themes and narratives based on reading only the back-cover blurb. With this project I aim to engage those who have read the titles and may recognise familiar imagery relating to their consciousness and memory of the novel and it’s themes, as well as too inspire those who have not read the books to do so, perhaps others will wonder ‘what the hell was was I thinking’! The next stage of the project after drawing the books ‘blind’ is to actually read them. "Valley Of The Dolls" was written by Jacqueline Susann. Created from my original pen and ink drawing which is then used to produce a hand pulled screen print with two separate overlapping screens of green and pink using Aqua Art Gloss inks onto G.F Smith, Colorplan Smooth 350gsm paper, which shows the colours and the print to an exceptionally high quality. A third colour is produced where the screen overlap. This original print is part of a limited edition of 50 prints at A3 and is supplied unframed. A3 - 297mm x 420mm Please note that due to the nature of the printing process, there may be very slight variations between the images and print received. This is a feature of printmaking and makes each print truly unique. Each print will be carefully packaged for safe delivery. Item ships from UK. Delivery of prints in UK are by 1st class Royal Mail fully trackable service which aims to deliver in 1-2 working days.

My thoughts on ‘Valley of the Dolls’ by Jacqueline Susann

It is hard to believe that this year marks the 45th anniversary of the cult classic book-turned-film Valley of the Dolls. Baby boomers may recall reading under the covers away from parental eyes as it was quite controversial at the time -- today you would hardly bat an eye. The film has a cult following today with so many classic laugh-out-loud (some intentional, some not) scenes and lines -- Neely O'Hara flushing Helen Lawson's wig down the toilet, Lawson singing "My Tree" and "The only hit that comes out of a Helen Lawson show is Helen Lawson, and that's ME, baby, remember?" Valley of The Dolls was written by the late Jacqueline Susann, queen of the steamy blockbuster long before Jackie Collins (30 million copies sold to date). The roman a' clef tells the story of three young career women -- singer Neely O'Hara (Patty Duke), actress Jennifer North (Sharon Tate) and talent agency assistant turned model Ann Welles (Barbara Parkins). The three use "dolls" a.k.a. barbiturates/downers to cope with their various soap opera maladies (breast cancer, gay husbands, etc.) and you get the picture. Veteran actress Susan Hayward plays aging singer Helen Lawson and it's rumored that the role was patterned after Judy Garland and Ethel Merman. (Ironically Garland was originally cast but let go). Candice Bergen, Petula Clark, Raquel Welch and Ann-Margaret were up for the roles of the three girls. Patty Duke Sharon Tate Barbara Parkins Author Jacqueline Susann Susann with cast members (Lee Grant in sunglasses) "Here kitty kitty" Susan Hayward singing "My Tree" Patty Duke romps on classic Sixties style brass bed The movie is pure camp with some wonderful style moments (Pucci patterned jumpsuits and big hair just to name a few) and a great window into sixties Manhattan and Los Angeles. The title song by Dionne Warwick became a huge hit as well. The film was also ranked as one of the 100 Most Amusingly Bad Films Ever Made by the infamous Razzie awards so you know it has to be fun viewing (many rank it alongside 1995's Showgirls). Perhaps actress Lee Grant (who plays Tate's sister in law) said it best that the drama was "The best and funniest worst movie ever made!" The Soundtrack If you are in the Savannah area, SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) is hosting a panel on "Jacqueline Susann and the Style of the 1960s: The 45th Anniversary of The Valley of The Dolls" on April 29th at 4:00 p.m. with fashion designer Lisa Perry, Decades vintage boutique owner Cameron Silver, literary agent Ira Silverburg and Lisa Bishop and Whitney Robinson, directors of the Susann archives. The topic will be the book and its impact on fashion. There is also an exhibit of her personal archives and period garments at Savannah's Pinnacle Gallery. Nobody does sixties style better than Lisa Perry Happy Easter! Photos: Life Magazine, Twentieth Century Fox, Lisa Perry
