Excerpt: Valley of the Dolls is the title of novel by American writer Jacqueline Susann, published in 1966. The "dolls" within the title is a slang term for downers, barbiturates used as sleep aids. Valley of the Dolls was an instant success when it was first published. Since then it has sold more than 30 million copies. As the first roman a clef by a female author to achieve this level of sales in America, it led the way for other authors such as Jackie Collins to depict the private lives of the real-life rich and famous under a veneer of fiction. In 1967 it was adapted into a dramatic film of the same name which was directed by Mark Robson, and stars Barbara Parkins, Sharon Tate, Patty Duke, and Paul Burke. The novel was adapted again for television in 1981 and in 1994 a late-night, syndicated television soap opera ran for one season using the name and a loose adaptation of the premise. The novel begins in New York, 1945, and chronicles the story of three young women who embark on careers that bring them to the dizzying heights of fame and eventual self-destruction. The three characters are brought together by a Broadway play called Hit The Sky. Anne Welles has recently arrived from Lawrenceville, Massachusetts with hopes of changing her life in New York City. She lands a job with an agency that represents legendary Broadway star Helen Lawson, who stars in Hit the Sky. Neely O'Hara (who changed her name from Ethel Agnes O'Neill) is a plucky kid with undeniable talent and a background in vaudeville. Neely lives downstairs from Anne and, through her friendship with her, gets a role in the chorus of the play.
