My Last Movie Star
註釋Paperback exclusive! Excerpts from Allegra Coleman's secret diary,
A movie star and a journalist find themselves on a strange road trip across the California desert. Allegra Coleman is Hollywood's new new thing, a sumptuous young actress widely presumed to be an Oscar contender. Clementine James is a sardonic profile writer who's tired of celebrities. After Allegra abruptly crashes the 1956 Porsche they are driving in and vanishes--inspiring candlelight vigils and round-the-clock television coverage--Clementine is given a taste of celebrity herself. And she's tempted to embrace her new iconic status, until ghostly visits from screen sirens of long ago--including Natalie Wood, Loretta Young, Tallulah Bankhead, and Myrna Loy--remind her about the evanescent nature of fame. My Last Movie Star is a parable of Hollywood that's at once affectionate, absurdly funny, and disturbingly plausible.
