Would you kill to be famous?
If we want impossible glamour and corruption we could do worse then 1950’s Hollywood.
A Beautiful Way To Die is a romp of ambition and decadence in which everyone has an agenda and dark secrets. It weaves its magic through carefully-embedded real-life locations and oblique references to real-world Hollywood scandals, telling a lively tale of a dazzling movie star couple, a wannabe starlet, a mystery woman sequestered and brutalised in a sanatorium, a studio fixer and a pill-pushing studio Dr Feelgood.
Tim met Eleni Kyriacou at her publishers to explore this exciting milieu, to discuss the significance of the casting couch, and to carefully tiptoe round spoilers.
I’m ready for my close-up, Mr DeMille.
