Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Quentin Tarantino's long-awaited literary debut is at once sophisticated and brutal, hilariously funny and full of surprises (sometimes scary!), based on the Oscar-winning film of the same name. RICK DALTON - Once a TV star, now a faded figure: Rick drowns his sorrows in whiskey sours while playing villains. Will a phone call from Rome save him, or will things get even worse? CLIFF BOOTH - Rick's stunt double and the most infamous man on any movie set because he's the only one to get away with murder... SHARON TATE - She fled Texas to follow her big-screen dreams, and she succeeded. Sharon spends the best days of her life on Cielo Drive in the Hollywood Hills. CHARLES MANSON is an ex-con who has gathered around him a gang of stoned hippies who consider him their spiritual leader - but he himself would give anything to be a rock star. Hollywood 1969: Too Bad You Were Not There.
