The hyperactive love child of Page Six and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? caught in a tawdry love triangle with The Fan. Even Kitty Kelly will blush.nnSoaked, nay, marinated in the world of vintage Hollywood, Tell-All is a Sunset Boulevardβinflected homage to Old Hollywood when Bette Davis and Joan Crawford ruled the roost; a veritable Touretteβs syndrome of rat-tat-tat name-dropping, from the A-list to the Z-list; and a merciless send-up of Lillian Hellmanβs habit of butchering the truth that will have Mary McCarthy cheering from the beyond.nnOur Thelma Ritterβish narrator is Hazie Coogan, who for decades has tended to the outsized needs of Katherine βMiss Kathieβ Kentonβveteran of multiple marriages, career comebacks, and cosmetic surgeries. But danger arrives with gentleman caller Webster Carlton Westward III, who worms his way into Miss Kathieβs heart (and boudoir). Hazie discovers that this bounder has already written a celebrity tell-all memoir foretelling Miss Kathieβs death in a forthcoming Lillian Hellmanβpenned musical extravaganza; as the body count mounts, Hazie must execute a plan to save Katherine Kenton for her fansβand for posterity.nnTell-All is funny, subversive, and fascinatingly clever. Itβs wild, itβs wicked, itβs bold-facedβitβs vintage Chuck.
