Alas, ink from their saber-like pens could not flow forever. This Tinseltown tale begins in 1944 with a restaurant meeting between the two rivals. Passers-by looked twice in disbelief at the female pairing. Parsons reflects on her arrival in L.A. in 1928 and her climb to the top of the Hollywood hype machine; Wannabe actress Hopper was trying to get in front of the camera. But Hopper often served as Parsons' inside snoop. She dug up secrets about stars and gave them to Parsons to feed to the masses. All the while, they forged a mutual admiration society of two... based on ruthlessness and jealousy.
