Quirky, heart-opening, funny, poignant, up, down, and everywhere in between--that's life and that's Life in the Hollywood Lane. Trish, an LA actor, is bereft with guilt after her best friend commits suicide. Glamorous yet tough-as-nails Hollywood is Trish's backdrop and a reflection of her life as she stumbles on through an actor's life of casting calls and premieres, rejection and acceptance. Slowly Trish releases the idea of how her life should be and embraces the messy, flawed, yet stunningly beautiful truth of how it is. Trish's humorous resilience and acceptance lead to transformation, surrender, and ultimately love. Author Ann Crawford's trademark optimism for life and love shine through in this inspiring story that reminds us all that no matter what the question, love is always the answer. Life in the Hollywood Lane is chockablock with LOL and aha moments. Also, know any folks who've been chasing a long-held dream? Do them a favor and gift them this book!

As an aside, I'm sure Norma Jean wasn't ditzy at all and had a ton of substance. She'd have to have had (wow, is that a clunky sentence or what?) a lot of substance to carry the persona of Marilyn.
And an example of insider information about how the industry works:
People can't be a SAG (Screen Actors Guild) actor until they've been in some SAG movies, and they can't get into SAG movies until they've become a SAG actor. For the non-SAG to land a part in a SAG movie, actors have to know someone who can open doors. And I do.
Both examples are from early in the book to avoid spoilers.
There are three main parts of Trish's emotional life. They are her aspirations to be a successful film actress, her love life, and her friends, especially Cyndi, her roommate and best friend, who kills herself early in the story. Much of the novel is focused on Cyndi. I felt Ann Crawford handled Trish's emotions concerning that loss in a remarkable way. The novel can be sad at times, but it is never depressing.
I recommend this book to anyone who has ever dreamed of a life in films, but also to anyone with any huge aspiration. (
