From the very beginning flamboyant actress Jacqueline Susann (Bette Midler) simply wanted her place in the spotlight. With no agent and no one calling for auditions, she scraped by with residuals from the occasional radio jingle, television commercial and game show appearance.Still, with every failure - and there were plenty - she remained undeterred in her quest for fame. Her manager and publicist Irving Mansfield (Nathan Lane) knew he was the one who could make Jackie's dream come true.
With Jackie's career going nowhere fast, Irving comes up with an idea which just might make Jacqueline Susann a household name. She would write a book. Never mind the fact that she had never written before. She would write about what she knows: the crazy, steamy lives of drug-addicted, sex-craved movie stars... The result, Valley of the Dolls, an inside look at the high's and low's of showbiz as told by someone who had experienced it first-hand.
