Editorial Reviews

Struggling actress Hedda Hopper can't get a break in Hollywood, even though an acquaintence of hers is the extremely powerful gossip monger Louella Parsons - maker and breaker of careers (and lives) through her daily syndicated newspaper column. The big movie moguls, fed up with Parson's power over their stars, decide to de-claw her by setting up gossip Hopper as a competitor in the rumour industry. What they couldn't forsee was that Hopper would become as big as Parsons -- and every bit as much of a pain. Based on the true life stories of two of the most powerful (and arguably dangerous) women of Hollywood's hay-day.

This review is from: The Rumor Mill (VHS Tape)

These two vemom filled women, could wreck a marrige or carrer with one wave of a pen!

This is a great account of the havoc legendary gossip colomnists Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper created in the years between 1928 thru the war years. The tension and terror these women created just by being in the same room (though never together), they were bitter rivals, caused anyone near to hold their breath!

This is a deliciously wicked and fun account of Hollywoods industry told form these two womens damaging and often humerous dealings.
