Book Vs Movie "Valley of the Dolls"

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Book Vs Movie </strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Valley of the Dolls </em></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The 1968 Jacqueline Susann Novel Vs the 1967 Camp Classic Film</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>“Sparkle, Neely Sparkle!”</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/60822/51rudbk1doL._SX940_.jpg" alt="" width="247" height="368" /></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Margos are still enjoying the swinging 60s and what better way to celebrate than talking about the amazing</span> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Susann"><strong>Jacqueline Susann</strong></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;"> who is the first author to have three consecutive #1 books on the New York Times bestseller list. Though her work was critically panned at the time and she was considered a self-promoting hack by the literary elite (how dare they!) Susann is now an icon for fun-living women who dare to take up space. </span></p> <p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062430/"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Valley of the Dolls</span></em></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">caused a scandal at the time with its frank discussions about sex, sexism in show business, drug use, and cancer. But Susann had a flair for publicity, had a super-sharp wit and a husband (Irving Mansfield) who promoted her work with incredible enthusiasm. This woman practically invented the book tour and became just as famous as Truman Capote and Phillip Roth but for the fun, camp set. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The movie directed by</span> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Robson_%28film_director%29"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Mark Robson</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">was rushed into production in 1967 and was seen as a bit trashy and embarrassing at the time. Today it is known as a camp classic. </span></p> <p><span style=
