Book description
You can do anything in Hollywood and be forgiven, anything except
grow old...
It's the 1930s and cinema stands at the dawn of a new age, the
silent era is all but dead, talkies are here and Technicolor is on its
way.
The whole world loves movie icons Frank Nayland and Elizabeth Sasdy,
lapping up each new picture and following their romantic life story
both on and off the screen. But all is not as perfect as it appears.
Not only has the advent of talkies meant torturous sessions with a
vocal coach to try and remove Sasdy's Hungarian accent but she's
starting to spot the first few grey hairs, and the lines on her face
get deeper every day. If she loses her looks she'll lose everything,
but even a woman as powerful as Elizabeth Sasdy can't fight nature.
Can she?
A chance accident reveals the solution. But just how far is the
Queen of Hollywood prepared to go to stay beautiful forever?
