About this listen

In this episode, me and my homegirl, Donovan Marcotte, pop the cork — and the "dolls" — on one of Hollywood’s most infamous cult classics: Valley of the Dolls (1967). From its glamorous rise to its tragic falls, we explore how this adaptation of Jacqueline Susann's bestselling novel became both a time capsule of 1960s stardom and a cautionary tale about the price of fame. Join us as we dissect the film’s melodrama, its unforgettable performances (yes, we’re talking about Patty Duke’s iconic breakdown), and the real-life scandals that paralleled the on-screen drama. Is it camp? Is it critique? Or is it something in between? Grab your Seconals and settle in — the dolls are calling.
