(2000)
Hollywood Stories
A collection of stories by

 
 
A former member of the Hollywood rat race, herself, Julia Cameron leads us through a labyrinth of intersecting lives and turns that could only exist in our own backyard Babylon. In Popcorn: Hollywood Stories, the lives of stars are as likely to collide in the psychic's waiting room as they are on-set or in the pages of the tabloids.

Featured cast: the only actor in Hollywood who doesn't want to sleep with his co-star, , a studio head who has secret "talks" with the ghost of history's most beloved animator, a hard-boiled journalist who succumbs to the charms of a philandering director, a hairdresser who has to be blackmailed into doing you-know-who's hair, a filmmaker who's just a cowgirl at heart, a screenwriter who's battled the old boy's network to find she's got more highballs than high hopes, a homeopathist asked to prescribe something to make Hollywood's most feared actress "nicer," a tony New York editor with an acute case of moviephobia, and an actress with enough character to write a happy ending.

You might call it fiction, but Cameron calls this "friction - the abrasion of reality against dreams." And while none of the tales in Popcorn are true (just ask our lawyers), every one of them pops.
