When I was thirteen, Jackie Collins showed me how to be brave. You write what no one thinks you can write. You ask for money no one wants to admit that youve earned. You fight for your marriage when your husband has failed you HELEN ELLIS

They lunch at Ma Maison on salads and hot gossip. They cruise Rodeo Drive, turning shopping at Giorgio and Gucci into an art form. These are Hollywood wives and they hold the keys to the kingdom.

There have been many imitators, but only ever one Jackie Collins. With millions of her books sold around the world, and thirty-oneNew York Timesbestsellers, she is one of the worlds top-selling novelists. From glamorous Beverly Hills bedrooms to Hollywood movie studios; from glittering rock concerts to the yachts of billionaires, Jackie chronicled the scandalous lives of the rich, famous, and infamous from the inside looking out.
