Synopsis
"Kenneth Anger has fashioned a delicious . . . box of poisoned bonbons. Picking through the slag heap of the Hollywood dream factory, he] has put together a truly prodigious anthology of star-studded scandal."-- The New York Times Kenneth Anger is a former child movie actor who grew up to become one of America's leading underground filmmakers. Hollywood Babylon was originally published in Paris, and quickly became an underground legend. Not a word has been changed. Not a story omitted. Here is the hot, luscious plum of sizzling scandal that continues to shock the world., "Picking through the slag heap of the Hollywood dream factory, [Kenneth] Anger has put together a truly prodigious anthology of star-studded scandal."-- The New York Times Welcome to Hollywood. Take a walk down "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams," where starlets, sex goddesses, matinee idols, American aristocracy, and Mafia moguls meet. It's a town made manic in its heyday by "joy powder" and cocaine-crazed comedies, seduced by vamping heroin heroines, shaken by Fatty Arbuckle's orgiastic excesses and Errol Flynn's amoral extravagances, stunned by Marilyn Monroe's tragic suicide and Sharon Tate's brutal murder. Here, as never revealed before, is the scalding reality behind the glittering façade: the true stories and darkest secrets behind the lurid headlines that have titillated the world and electrified the nation for decades.
