Dishing Hollywood: The Real Scoop on Tinseltown's Most Notorious Scandals
Laurie Jacobson
Dishing Hollywood is a compelling look into more than forty tabloid-worthy scandals of Hollywood stars from the early twenties to present day — with a twist: there's a recipe connected to each one: last suppers, first dates, and favorite dishes. This fascinating blend of ingredients is told '40s detective-style with famous film quotes about food sprinkled generously throughout. The recipes are as fun as the scandals are fascinating.
Scandals served up include:
- Marilyn Monroe: what she did after she posed for her famous calendar
- Sinatra, DiMaggio and the "wrong-door raid"
- The Black Dahlia: Laurie's got her killer AND a recipe she whipped up for the eyewitness to her grisly end
- John Wayne, flag-waving American — killed by his own government?
- Inger Stevens's suicide now looks like murder
- Mama Cass — the ham sandwich was baloney!
- Dorothy Kilgallen — murdered for what she knew about the JFK assassination?
- Sharon Tate — Laurie found her waitress that last night, got her last supper and a great story
Errol Flynn, Lana Turner, Phil Spector, Natalie Wood, Bobby Darin, Robert Blake, and more!
Romance, murder, and illicit affairs — these stories are guaranteed to add spicy conversation to any meal. Even the recipes have a lot to say. They span eighty-five years, most written just as they were in their day. So, get it while it's hot! Dishing Hollywood is a tasty, satisfying treat.
