Hollywood Joyride (Nick and Celine)

By Anton Rolor

Hollywood, 1962... Raised by a Vegas show-girl, fifteen year old Celine, endowed with her mother's show-girl looks, struggles to find stability. Determined to take any path away from glamour worship, she seeks someone genuine. When the strapping Nick Cody appears with wit, a subversive capacity, and theatrics, she finds it hard to resist his ability to turn Hollywood on itself. Teenage Nick is a shares bad-guy looks with his dad, a b-list actor. Nick's devotion to his unstable mother, put him at odds with his father. Wild, and constantly in trouble until meeting Celine, he discovers his purpose in caring for her and rethinks his rebellion. Her Catholic school-girl expectations inspire him to change, but he only finds more trouble.A frothy mixture of naivete, wild longing, and compassion, Hollywood Joyride slides through a decade of love, surfing, and hard-won wisdom. It's a celebration, and a fierce criticism of life as theater.
