Overview

The spectacular bestseller from the author of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.

In a time when steak, vodka, and Benzedrine were the three main staples of a healthy diet, when high-powered executives called each other "baby" and movie stars wore wigs to bed, network tycoons had a name for the TV set: they called it "the love machine." But to supermodel Amanda, socialite Judith and journalist Maggie, "the love machine" meant something else: Robin Stone, "a TV-network titan around whom women flutter like so many moths...The novel deals with his rise and fall as he makes the international sex scene (orgying in London, transvestiting in Hamburg), drinks unlimited quantities and checks out the latest Nielsens."--Newsweek

"I READ IT IN ONE GREEDY GULP, ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE."--Liz Smith

"[Susann's] pulp poetry resonates to this day. WITH HER FORMULA OF SEX, DRUGS, AND SHOW BUSINESS, Susann didn't so much capture the tenor of her times as she did predict the Zeitgeist of ours."--Detour

About the Author

Jacqueline Susann left her hometown of Philadelphia at eighteen and moved to New York, where she acted extensively and won the Best Dressed Woman in Television award four times. But it was the success of her three blockbuster novels--Valley of the Dolls, The Love Machine, and Once is Not Enough--that transformed her into the Pucci-clad media superstar we remember today. Jacqueline Susann was married to producer Irving Mansfield. She died in 1974. www.valleyofthedolls.com
