Popcorn Hollywood Stories
A former member of the Hollywood rat race, herself, Julia Cameron leads us through a labyrinth of intersecting lives and turns that could only exist in our own backyard Babylon. In Popcorn: Hollywood Stories, the lives of stars are as likely to collide in the psychics waiting room as they are on-set or in the pages of the tabloids.
Featured cast: the only actor in Hollywood who doesnt want to sleep with his co-star, , a studio head who has secret "talks" with the ghost of historys most beloved animator, a hard-boiled journalist who succumbs to the charms of a philandering director, a hairdresser who has to be blackmailed into doing you-know-whos hair, a filmmaker whos just a cowgirl at heart, a screenwriter whos battled the old boys network to find shes got more highballs than high hopes, a homeopathist asked to prescribe something to make Hollywoods most feared actress "nicer," a tony New York editor with an acute case of moviephobia, and an actress with enough character to write a happy ending.
You might call it fiction, but Cameron calls this "frictionthe abrasion of reality against dreams." And while none of the tales in Popcorn are true (just ask our lawyers), every one of them pops.
