In the mercurial climate of the Hollywood movie industry,
paupers can become princesses in the blink of an eye, while
the power brokers of today can become the unemployable
castoffs of tomorrow with one box office failure. Within the
adversarial confines of this highly competitive and creative
field, four women have managed to hold onto one of the
rarest commodities in town -- true friendship.
Celeste Solange is the most sought after actress in
Hollywood. Coming off a two year hiatus and recently married
to Damian Bruckner, one of the industry's top producers,
Celeste is poised to take on the world with a starring role
in Damian's latest movie. But her dreams of a "happily ever
after" disintegrate on the morning she learns that her
husband is having an affaire with a young starlet while on
location in New Zealand, and that the starlet is replacing
Celeste as the lead in Damian's movie.
Lydia Albright, Hollywood producer extraordinaire, is one
false step away from losing everything. The star of her
latest movie is in jail, her director is AWOL, and the
studio she works for, Worldwide Pictures, has just been
handed over to her arch nemesis, Arnold Murphy, a
small-minded man with a Napoleon complex who would like
nothing better than to shelve Lydia's movie for good and
ruin her career.
Jessica Caulfield is the president of CTA, the most
prestigious talent agency in Hollywood, which often makes
her the target of underhanded maneuvers by rival agents
intent on stealing her best clients. That's a price Jessica
is willing to pay in exchange for the privilege of being on
top, but when the owner of CTA informs her that he will be
adding a new agent as her co-president, an agent whom
Jessica suspects to be a master manipulator and fraud, she
knows the foundation on which she stands is in grave danger
of crumbling.
Mary Anne Meyers arrived in Hollywood from Minnesota with
almost nothing and now, nine years later, she fears that
she's going to leave exactly the same way until the day she
receives "the call" from Lydia Albright, asking Mary Anne to
do a rewrite on the script for Lydia's latest movie.
Suddenly, Mary Anne is thrust into the heart of the
Hollywood industry where she discovers that in this
business, there is no black and white, only gray, and that
the good guys don't always win.
But in a town where perception is often more important than
fact, these women have a few tricks of their own, especially
with their friendship as the ultimate secret weapon. While
impending failure stalks them at every turn, these four
friends work together to find the strength, courage and
resources necessary to battle those who wish to bring them down.
HOLLYWOOD GIRLS CLUB is a delightful treat full of charm,
wit, and heart. Maggie Marr speaks with the sincerity of
someone who has witnessed the best and worst that Hollywood
has to offer and has lived to tell the tale. Celeste,
Lydia, Jessica and Mary Anne are dynamite heroines with very
human quirks and issues, but also a warmth and strength
which makes you want to know them better. So open the door
to a world few of us ever see, and lose yourself in the
magic and intrigue that is Hollywood.
