Product Description

"Once Upon a Star" is a true autobiography about a young Hollywood ingénue, searching for love in all the wrong places of La La land. Peggy bears her heart and soul in her quest for love amongst Hollywood's most elite players. Follow her struggles with trying to balance her modeling, television and film career with wild nights and lavish lifestyles. Her naivety will challenge your heart and make you laugh as she skips from one relationship to another, always believing that love would find her. This is a story that encompasses the sorrow and triumph of living in the celebrity fantasy world. "Once Upon a Star" is a story very seldom presented with such candor and truth. Journey along with Peggy's anecdotal celebrity relationships and flings with the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Billy Idol, Mick Jagger, Nicolas Cage, Sean Penn, Kevin Costner, Johnny Depp , Vince Neil, Sting and many others. Juicy and thought provoking, you will not want to put this one down!

Revised and re-edited with bonus material as of 2/21/2012. Sync your Kindle!

A starlet who dated a host of famous Hollywood hunks has written an explosive kiss-and-tell about her experience

Sinfully Delicious!

Truth is stranger than fiction in this juicy Hollywood kiss and tell. More A-Lister's than the Beverly Hills phone book!
--Chicago Sun Times

“Once Upon a Star" is an Inside view.…. And it is inside! The book is studded with backstage gossip about showbiz greats.”

A gripping memoir by a little known actress with a very well known cast of sexy lovers!

SEX with the STARS!
This book is a kick in the pants!

Need I say more...

About the Author

Peggy was born a native Californian and grew up in Newport Beach. She started modeling right out of high school when scouted by a modeling agent. She soon landed full time accounts with such companies as JC Penney, Macy's, Frederick's of Hollywood, Clairol , Nordstrom's , Olga lingerie, Ujena swimwear, Redken, Catalina swimwear and many others. The acting bug bit at an early age. She was featured in Garry Marshall's first film "Young Doctors In Love" followed by twenty something other films including National Lampoon's "Up the Creek", "Ghoulies V" , Tales of the Crypt's "Demon Knight", "Poison", "Human Desires" and "Vampirella", just to name a few. She also did many commercials. One of the more famous as a member of the "Swedish Bikini Team" in a series of spots put out by Old Milwaukee Beer. The popularity of the commercials led to a celebrity cover and pictorial in Playboy's January 1992 issue. She became a "Carson Art Player" on the Tonight show in the late 80's where she acted alongside of Johnny Carson for 3 years. She has made appearances in such shows as "Happy Days", "CSI", "Miami Heat", "Three's Company" "Baywatch" several episodes of "Married with Children" and many others. Peggy moved to Hollywood in 1989 and quickly became engulfed in the shrouded, celebrity inner circle. Peggy has spent over fifteen years in Hollywood before earning her bachelor's degree and obtaining her real estate license. She now owns her own real estate company in Orange County Ca. where she currently resides with her family.

Truly Candid February 12, 2012
By Lisa
Format:Kindle Edition
After reading Once Upon a Star, I just want to say that this is the most candid and graphic account of a kiss and tell book I have ever read! most books In this genre are sugarcoated and boring. I found this book to be Incredibly detailed and revealing. I am impressed by the author's vulnerability and applaud her courage to write about what a lot of celebrity partners must go through. We should never hide things in society when it comes to writing and I am more than happy to have found something on Amazon that was this honest.

I'm not usually ready to jump at a celebrity tell-all because so many of them are spiteful or just odd. A couple of things about this one, though, made it engaging. Peggy Trentini didn't use a ghostwriter, and though she's not a writer, and there are some mistakes, the accounts read so emotionally that she really gives you the full picture of how she felt in these times, how she could have fallen for some really awful patter from some of these guys, and how much it hurt when they didn't back up their lust with the same love she gave to them. One might think that a pretty girl in Hollywood that's having exciting flings with A-listers and all-time icons is leading a charmed life, but it seemed sad, and that's what made it human to me. I think this book had to happen, whether anyone read it or not, and her accounts are honest, the way she's breathlessly recounting some moments, you get it, and her, and she becomes 3D in a snap. A ghostwriter might have ruined that genuine quality in the book. Even if you're not so hot on celebrity gossip, this is one of those real life memoirs that's easy to read, and is probably a good idea for the parents of any aspiring female model or actor to give to their girl. It may not stop the inevitable, but it can help her gain some understanding of how it is for someone who's since moved on and become a success in her own right. I wish Miss Peggy the best, and if the 'Volume 1' on here is anything to go by, we may be able to read more about her and her wild life.

This book was nothing more than Peggy Trentini bragging on her sexual encounters with a few male celebrities.
I don't find it completely believable that all her encounters were great love affairs.
The book describes a woman desperate for attention and fame.
A slew of famous hook-ups was all it amounts to. It's an ok read if you want a peak into the sexual prowess of a few well known celebs, of course take it with a grain of salt.
