Morgan, Al. Cast of Characters. First English Edition. 1959. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—there is a repaired tear to the front cover of the jacket.
Behind the glamorous façade of this novel about 1950s era Hollywood is the poison pen of satirist Al Morgan. There are six main characters in the book—all with hopes and dreams about the film industry that are debunked in various ways as the plot runs its course. Though fiction, the book is based upon Morgan’s experiences in Los Angeles when his novel The Great Man was adapted into a film. This English edition, which followed the American one, has the more appealing dust jacket.
“In Hollywood, a girl has a choice. She can make a living on her feet like car-hopping, or on her back. I figure it’s more comfortable on my back. I [have] seen some mighty pretty ceilings in my time.”
