	BookPage Fiction Review: Valley of the Dolls
		"Valley of the Dolls" was a publishing phenomenon, and its success rests on Susann's understanding of women and their dreams, and her practical experience as an actress.
		The 1997 edition of "Valley of the Dolls" is both a period piece and a cause for reflection on just how much growing room women have claimed -- as well as a reminder that the reason some themes recur throughout literature and the popular press is that a good story is always a good story.
		Reading "Valley of the Dolls" today is like coming upon a box of old clothes tucked beneath the attic eaves, and upon opening it, finding the outmoded finery captures all too poignantly where, and who, we once were.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Comment is free \| Valley of the dolls
		This is a brave move because Sindy's biggest challenger since her birth in 1963 has been her American predecessor Barbie (born 1959), who has always carried a physique that, if replicated on a real woman, would cause her to crash regularly to the sidewalk under the pull of mammary gravity.
		The makers of Barbie used to respond to knockers of the doll's shape by saying that the full bust was intended to make girls feel comfortable with impending changes to their bodies.
		This was clearly nonsense because the dolls' genitals were, notoriously, always suggested rather than suggestive.

		While only Parkins was willing or able to show up and discuss her role in "Valley," the entire cast of "Beyond" is happy to show up and talk about their wacky adventures on what has to be one of the strangest films ever released by a major studio (with an X-rating, to boot).

	Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Mostly panned by humor-impaired critics upon release, this riotously funny satire of Valley of the Dolls is truly a one-of-a-kind film—a "musical horror sex comedy" in the words of Meyer's screenwriter, Roger Ebert.
		Originally hired by 20th Century Fox to direct a legitimate sequel to Valley of the Dolls, Meyer instead decided to send up that howler of a film with this story of an all-female rock band falling prey to the evils of drugs, booze, and sex in sleazy Hollywood.
		Along with Myra Breckinridge (1969), Beyond the Valley of the Dolls represented the studio's last-ditch attempt to exploit the Sixties-era sexual revolution for a much-needed box office hit.

	Valley of the Dolls. - book reviews ArtForum - Find Articles
		Valley of the dolls, to be reprinted next month by Grove Atlantic, was one kind of quintessential trash novel of the '60s (another kind was Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg's Candy), written with an insider's eye on the showbiz of the '50s.
		Valley author Jacqueline Susann seized on Metalious' Harlequin-romance-meets-Zola formula and brought it forward into the early years of megapublishing, a task for which she was infinitely better equipped than her predecessor.
		In Valley of the Dolls, it is Neely O'Hara's hysterical insistence that she needs her pink and yellow "dolls" to keep going - fuck the studio, fuck her career - that elicits our keenest sympathy.

		Each doll was created from a variety of interchangeable parts, more crude and mechanical in the earlier doll of 1933, and more naturalistic and versatile in the later doll of 1935.
		In these settings are played out scenes of violence past or anticipated, of the nude doll bound, beaten, tied to a tree, hanged on a hook, taken apart and strewn on a stairway, or being stalked by a seen or unseen predator.
		This silicone woman is custom-built — in a factory in Southern California — to fit her owner's fantasy: height and weight, color of eye, tint of lip and cut of pubic hair are some of the choices offered to her future lover.

		I think "Valley of the Dolls" to be one of the funniest and goofiest movies ever made, but I only give 4-5 star reviews to funny movies that actually set out to be comedies.
		Therefore, I'll just mention the most infamous part of "Valley of the Dolls"- Patty Duke as the starlet from Hell, "Neely O'Hara." Her performance as "Neely O'Hara" ranks as one of the worst in the history of film.
		Duke is fully of aware of that fact- it took her over thirty years to even bring herself to watch "Valley of the Dolls" again.

		In the event, of course, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" was rated X anyway.
