A touch of stardust

Summary: -- Gone with the Wind Carole Lombard, happily profane and uninhibited,makes no secret of her relationship with Gable, whichposes something of a problem for the studio because Gable is technically still married--and the last thing the film needs is more negative publicity. Julie is there to fend off the overly curious reporters, hoping to prevent details about the affair from slipping out. But she can barely keep up with her blond employer, let alone control what comes out of Carole's mouth, and--as their friendship grows--Julie soon finds she doesn't want to. Carole, both wise and funny, becomes Julie's model for breaking free of the past. In the ever-widening scope of this story, Julie is given a front-row seat to not one but two of the greatest love affairs of all time: the undeniable on-screen chemistry between Scarlett and Rhett, and offscreen, the deepening love between Carole andClark. Yet beneath the shiny facade, things in Hollywood are never quite what they seem, and Julie mustlearn to balance her career aspirations and her own budding romance with the outsized personalities and overheated drama on set. Vivid, romantic, and filledwith Old Hollywood details, A Touch of Stardust From the Hardcover edition.
