Description

Martinis, Make-up . . . and Murder It's 1950 and Loretta Darling is living the dream in LA. She's working as a make-up artist to the stars, dancing til dawn at A-list parties and tanning on palm tree lined beaches. Only the movie industry is a lot less glamorous when you're behind the scenes. And Loretta learns the hard way that tinsletown backlots are filled with more than their fair share of monsters. But, Hollywood has bitten off more than it can chew with Loretta, because there's not just lipstick lurking in her beauty case. This may be her dream, but she's right out of Hollywood's nightmares...
