A Very Funny Read

I really enjoyed this story. It's the perfect combination of murder, sex, lust, mystery, and greed. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and there were times when I could not stop laughing. Definitely buy this book of you are looking for a light read for vacation. It's engaging without being too heavy.

Excellent! Just my type of book

If you like trashy hollywood novels, this is the one for you! I absolutely love this book. The dish, the dirt, the mayhem was so much fun. I was surprised at who did it. Never imagined it could be that person. John Kane....I'm waiting for your next one!

Never thought the "real" Hollywood was so funny!

Kane's satire of Hollywood should be regarded as as classic. For us, the outsiders looking in, it gives us a bird's-eye view of what really goes on behing the scenes. With the five best actress nominees we travel along, feeling each high, and especially each low. A true masterpiece!

Makes "Scruples" look like child's play.

Move over Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins, there's a new boy in town and his name is John Kane. "Best Actress" is fun with a capital F. You need a beach read, this is it, but remember to wear your sunblock because you aren't leaving the beach until this book is finished. It is a whos-who of Hollywood. He drops star's names every chance he gets. Who is holding the gun? You don't know until the very end and I still didn't believe it. You will not be disappointed with this novel. If you love movies, the Oscar telecast and lots of sin, read "Best Actress".

Sex, Murder, Shoplifting..Best Actress is laugh out loud fun

Five actesses and one Oscar. This lighthearted romp through the lives of five nominees is a real page turner. I couldn't put it down. These five womem make the fued between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford look like a Sesame Street playgroud fight. Highly recommended.
