Once is Not Enough by Jacqueline Susann
Once upon a time, the entertainment industry was a world that never slept. Magazine editors, models, pop stars, and all the rest visited vitamin doctors to get the shots that would allow them to stay up all night and then work all day--in offices decorated with beanbag chairs and Calderesque mobiles. In this world, January Wayne goes from poor-little-rich-girl to grown-up swinger, as she searches New York and Los Angeles for a guy just like Mike Wayne, the glamorous movie producer, who also just happens to be her father. Though often panned by critics, Susann's slightly sordid yet thoroughly fabulous novel was embraced by her fans. Once Is Not Enough became Susann's third consecutive novel to reach the number one spot on the New York Times best-seller list--the first time any author had accomplished this feat. The novel would be Susann's last great success: The year after its publication, in 1974, the author died of breast cancer.In the world of publishing, Jacqueline Susann is a legend. Valley of the Dolls, her debut novel, was published in 1966 and has sold over 31 million copies in thirty languages. Susann was the first author to have three books on the New York Times bestseller list in a row. She was married to Irving Mansfield, a producer, until her untimely death on September 21, 1974, following a valiant struggle with breast cancer. Susann's twelve-year battle with the disease was kept a well guarded secret until after her death. She was fifty-six years old.
