| Summary | Hollywood, 1954. At night, the nurses let us watch a film. Before we're strapped to our beds and our screams turn to sleepy moans, movie stars fill the screen, and we're allowed a moment of make believe. Tonight, I see his name projected above the title on the opening credits. I know the actor on screen. Everyone knows him. But I know him. I know that he likes his martinis strong and his women weak. I know that he owns the world yet is terrified of losing it. I know what happened at the party that night, after the Oscars. And now it's time to tell everyone what he did. But first, I need to get out. |
