Sharlene Miller is a small town girl dreaming of Hollywood
fame and fortune. In her relentless quest for success, she
becomes a groupie, a porn star, a television starlet and
finally, the cultural icon Sierra—but fame always has its
price. Struggling with demons both real and imagined,
addicted to drugs and abandoned by her fans, Sierra finds
herself moving through coma-induced hallucinations, fairy
tale porn films, down rabbit holes of drugs and alcohol,
and finally through the looking glass of Hollywood itself.
Drawing from A Star is Born, Grimm’s
Fairy Tales, Alice in Wonderland, The E! True
Hollywood Story, and the lives of Marilyn Monroe, Jane
Mansfield, Dorothy Stratten, Sharon Tate, Krysti Lynn, and
Savannah, Hollywoodland: An American Fairy Tale
revises popular culture’s archetypal narratives to create
the definitive Hollywood starlet—Sierra.
