Valley Of The Dolls

The trailer for Valley of the Dolls. Three young women meet when they embark on the beginning of their careers. Neely O'Hara (Duke) is a plucky kid with undeniable talent who acts in a Broadway play, the legendary actress Helen Lawson (Hayward) is the star of the play, and Jennifer North (Tate), a beautiful blonde with limited talent, is in the chorus.

After Jennifer is diagnosed with breast cancer and told she must have a mastectomy, she commits suicide with an overdose of 'dolls'. She could not stand the idea of losing one of her breasts, as they were what got her some fame.
