Studio Relations: Love in the Golden Age of Hollywood

Lights! Camera! Love! In glamorous 1935 Hollywood, amidst premieres in movie palaces on Hollywood Boulevard, lunch at The Brown Derby, and under the scrutiny of gossip columnists, Vivien Howard has succeeded where few women have before. She is the only female director at Lion Studios. With a string of hits to her credit, she is focused on her latest project, the Civil War love story Storm of the South. Weston Holmes is the handsome partner of Holmes International, the parent company of Lion Studios. Averse to risk and focused on the bottom line, he’s worried that audiences won’t accept an epic war picture directed by a young woman. With Hollywood in the midst of the Great Depression, and the Women’s Decency League railing against working women, Vivien struggles to convince Weston that she is the best director to make this movie. When a publicity mishap lands them in a staged marriage of convenience, Vivien and Weston must learn to overcome their differences to finish the film and find their Hollywood ending. A clean historical romance steeped in the glamour of the golden age of Hollywood with echoes of the making of Gone with the Wind. An excellent addition to the library of anyone who loves the classic Hollywood novels of Martin Turnbull, Kate Alcott, and Amanda Quick.Read more
