00:00:32,973 --> 00:00:35,009
WOMAN:
You've got to climb Mount Everest...
2
00:00:35,213 --> 00:00:36,931
... to reach the Valley of the Dolls.
3
00:00:37,093 --> 00:00:39,926
It's a brutal climb to reach that peak.
4
00:00:40,093 --> 00:00:45,292
You stand there, waiting for the rush
of exhilaration, but it doesn't come.
5
00:00:45,453 --> 00:00:47,648
You're alone.
6
00:00:47,813 --> 00:00:52,329
And the feeling of loneliness
is overpowering.
7
00:01:09,173 --> 00:01:11,050
ANNE:
I never meant to start that climb.
8
00:01:11,213 --> 00:01:14,888
I took the first step when I left
New England and headed for New York.
9
00:01:15,053 --> 00:01:17,408
It wasn't easy to leave
that wonderful house.
10
00:01:17,573 --> 00:01:20,485
My grandparents lived there
and theirs before them.
11
00:01:20,653 --> 00:01:22,769
It was standing during the Revolution.
12
00:01:22,933 --> 00:01:28,405
George Washington didn't sleep there,
but he did dip water from our well.
13
00:01:29,733 --> 00:01:32,406
I can still see them
standing there waving.
14
00:01:32,573 --> 00:01:35,212
Aunt Amy, Mama and Willie.
15
00:01:35,373 --> 00:01:40,652
Poor Willie. He didn't know
I was leaving his life forever.
16
00:01:42,453 --> 00:01:45,809
I'll never forget the night I told them
I was going to New York.
17
00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:48,885
They said it was a dreadful place
for a vacation.
18
00:01:49,053 --> 00:01:52,045
I announced I was going to work there.
19
00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:56,652
Willie took it well.
He said he'd give me a month...
20
00:01:56,813 --> 00:02:01,091
... and I'd run for home
ready to settle down in Lawrenceville.
21
00:02:01,253 --> 00:02:03,528
I remember the day Willie pinned me.
22
00:02:03,733 --> 00:02:06,884
He said it meant
we were engaged to be engaged.
23
00:02:07,253 --> 00:02:10,086
I wanted a marriage like Mom and Dad's,
but not yet.
24
00:02:10,253 --> 00:02:14,929
First I wanted new experiences,
new faces, new surroundings.
25
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:18,608
Lawrenceville would be there forever.
26
00:04:09,653 --> 00:04:12,690
The cab driver kept complaining
about the sleet and slush.
27
00:04:12,853 --> 00:04:15,890
I told him he should see
one of our New England blizzards.
28
00:04:16,053 --> 00:04:18,647
He took me to the
Martha Washington Hotel for women.
29
00:04:18,813 --> 00:04:20,246
Aunt Amy had stayed there.
30
00:04:20,413 --> 00:04:25,009
She said it was as safe as you
could be in a city like New York.
31
00:04:28,693 --> 00:04:32,083
The desk clerk warned me
they didn't allow men in the rooms.
32
00:04:32,253 --> 00:04:35,211
I confessed I didn't know any.
33
00:04:44,533 --> 00:04:48,367
Before my feet were dry,
the agency sent me on an interview.
34
00:04:48,533 --> 00:04:52,242
I had butterflies, but I acted like
I'd done it all my life.
35
00:04:52,413 --> 00:04:54,688
At least I thought I did.
36
00:05:06,693 --> 00:05:10,208
WOMAN: I knew it. She had that look.
- I'm to see Miss Steinberg.
37
00:05:10,373 --> 00:05:12,250
WOMAN:
I knew she was pregnant.
38
00:05:12,413 --> 00:05:18,170
Certainly I should have kept an eye
on her, doctor, but she sneaks out.
39
00:05:18,333 --> 00:05:23,282
I haven't any idea who the father is.
It could have been one of several.
40
00:05:23,453 --> 00:05:28,049
All right. I'll start her
on vitamins tomorrow.
41
00:05:28,413 --> 00:05:32,884
Queeny's pregnant again.
My Siamese.
42
00:05:33,053 --> 00:05:36,887
I hope it isn't that beat-up black tom
with the one eye.
43
00:05:37,053 --> 00:05:40,409
A black Siamese should be very pretty.
I'm Anne Welles.
44
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:43,963
Oh, yes. The agency phoned about you.
45
00:05:44,133 --> 00:05:48,809
B.A. At Radcliffe? Mr. Bellamy will like
that. He'll think it gives the office tone.
46
00:05:48,973 --> 00:05:52,409
- The agency said he's a lawyer.
- A theatrical lawyer.
47
00:05:52,573 --> 00:05:55,963
He handles actors, writers
and directors. Important ones.
48
00:05:56,133 --> 00:05:59,842
He advises them and draws up
their contracts. No loopholes.
49
00:06:00,013 --> 00:06:03,244
- Sounds fascinating.
- It isn't.
50
00:06:03,413 --> 00:06:07,691
- Will I work for Bellamy or Bellows?
- There is no Mr. Bellows anymore.
51
00:06:07,853 --> 00:06:11,368
Only his nephew, Lyon Burke.
You can tell when he's in the office...

...by the girls around that water cooler.

for Tony in the picture, do you?

You can ask her, Jen,
but I wouldn't count on it.

She'll be home any minute. She's with
Ted Casablanca trying on new clothes.

Only in Hollywood do women faint...

...because some queer
deigns to design their clothes.

Maybe you could put
in a good word for Tony.
559
00:53:57,853 --> 00:54:00,526
Me? She doesn't listen to me.

I'm the last person to ask her.

00:54:03,013 --> 00:54:05,368
She's changed, Jen.
562
00:54:05,533 --> 00:54:09,731
She starts at 5:30 in the morning still
punchy from last night's sleeping pills.
563
00:54:10,453 --> 00:54:15,811
So she takes a red pill to pep herself up
and at midnight she's still flying.
564
00:54:16,453 --> 00:54:19,889
- I try to talk to her, it's like a brick wall.
- Well...
565
00:54:20,053 --> 00:54:23,489
...I guess that's one of the drawbacks
of being a big star.

Hey, you know what these are?
567
00:54:26,373 --> 00:54:29,251
One month's check she has to sign.
568
00:54:29,413 --> 00:54:33,326
All the dough she makes, we still
had to borrow to pay the income tax.
569
00:54:33,493 --> 00:54:39,409
Attorney, agent, manager,
secretary, doctor, maid, masseuse...

- Psychiatrist.
- Psychiatrist?
572
00:54:46,293 --> 00:54:50,172
Oh, yeah, the studio wants her
to find out why she's so exhausted.
573
00:54:50,333 --> 00:54:53,848
They say they think
it must be emotional conflicts.
574
00:54:54,333 --> 00:54:59,168
Conflicts, my foot.
There aren't enough hours in the day.
575
00:54:59,453 --> 00:55:04,732
The headshrinker says she's insecure.
That she needs mass love.

00:55:04,893 --> 00:55:07,282
Maybe I'm lucky
I don't have any talent.

- Mel, get me some skim milk, will you?
- Want something?
579
00:55:11,853 --> 00:55:13,650
I'll have a Coke.
580
00:55:19,333 --> 00:55:23,042
Jen, I don't know what I'm gonna
do about Mel. He's changed so.
581
00:55:23,213 --> 00:55:25,329
He just can't seem to get with it.
582
00:55:25,493 --> 00:55:28,769
What do you mean, Neely?
He's gotten you lots of good publicity.
583
00:55:28,973 --> 00:55:32,363
That was the studio.
They told him to butt out.
584
00:55:32,533 --> 00:55:36,412
They don't even want him on the set.
They say he makes me self-conscious.
585
00:55:37,493 --> 00:55:40,053
Ted Casablanca says
he's the joke of the town.
586
00:55:40,253 --> 00:55:43,609
I wouldn't pay any attention to that.
You know how bitchy fags can be.
587
00:55:43,813 --> 00:55:46,247
He's not even 30
and he's made over a million bucks.
588
00:55:46,413 --> 00:55:49,723
- Here we go.
- Mel, hand me my bag, will you?
589
00:55:49,893 --> 00:55:51,531
Thank you.
590
00:55:52,373 --> 00:55:55,888
Well, I've lost 5 pounds already.
These pills are really great, Jen.
591
00:55:56,053 --> 00:55:57,566
They kill your appetite.
592
00:55:57,733 --> 00:56:01,043
Only trouble is,
they pep me up so much I can't sleep.
593
00:56:02,413 --> 00:56:05,928
Well, what nice, fattening thing
did you tell Arlene to make tonight?
594
00:56:06,093 --> 00:56:07,208
Arlene quit this morning.
595
00:56:07,373 --> 00:56:11,605
She said you yelled at her. That's
three cooks in three months, Neely.
596
00:56:11,773 --> 00:56:13,286
She was a louse anyway.
597
00:56:13,453 --> 00:56:16,445
You said yourself she was
taking home all the booze.
598
00:56:16,773 --> 00:56:19,082
Other people have loyal help,
why can't we?
599
00:56:19,253 --> 00:56:21,483
You don't know how to talk to them.
600
00:56:22,333 --> 00:56:25,689
That's your job. You better start
running this house properly.
601
00:56:25,893 --> 00:56:28,965
I'm not the butler, Neely.
602
00:56:29,213 --> 00:56:32,523
You're not the breadwinner either.
603
00:56:33,573 --> 00:56:36,212
I'm afraid I better be running along.
604
00:56:37,253 --> 00:56:40,086
- See you soon.
- Bye, Jen.
605
00:56:41,413 --> 00:56:43,802
That was a rotten thing
to say in front of Jenny.
606
00:56:44,133 --> 00:56:45,805
Why?
607
00:56:46,133 --> 00:56:47,691
She knows the facts of life.

and go back to New York.

00:56:54,493 --> 00:56:57,690
- I can always get my old job back.
- Suit yourself.
611
00:56:57,853 --> 00:56:59,491
I'm too tired to argue.
612
00:56:59,653 --> 00:57:01,962
I've got to take a shower
and get back to Ted's.
613
00:57:02,133 --> 00:57:06,411
You know you're spending a lot more
time than necessary with that fag.
614
00:57:07,813 --> 00:57:11,169
Ted Casablanca is not a fag.
615
00:57:12,493 --> 00:57:15,166
And I'm the dame who can prove it.

I should've left long ago...

She was quite a girl.

Now you're just like all the rest of them.
Success is too big for you.
619
00:57:30,933 --> 00:57:34,448
If you ask me, my success
is too big for you.
620
00:57:34,613 --> 00:57:36,251
Yeah, sure.
621
00:57:36,413 --> 00:57:38,404
Sure it is.
622
00:57:39,293 --> 00:57:44,413
I'll just take this. It's the only thing
around here that belongs to me.
623
00:58:20,173 --> 00:58:23,722
I wrote about the things I knew.
My own experiences.
624
00:58:23,893 --> 00:58:26,691
But I guess I only had one book in me.
625
00:58:26,853 --> 00:58:31,643
- Was I really that naive?
- Naive and wonderful.
626
00:58:32,053 --> 00:58:33,930
I missed you, Anne.
627
00:58:34,773 --> 00:58:37,970
Oh, I went back to the agency business.
And I like it.
628
00:58:38,133 --> 00:58:42,206
- Incidentally, Neely's one of my clients.
- Really?
629
00:58:43,453 --> 00:58:46,809
I don't know. England's changed.
630
00:58:46,973 --> 00:58:48,850
Or I've changed.
631
00:58:49,533 --> 00:58:52,843
The nightingale somehow
just sounded off-key.
632
00:58:53,853 --> 00:58:57,129
I used to pretend you'd
gone bald and fat.
633
00:58:57,893 --> 00:59:02,489
LYON: I pictured you at a sink full of
dishes. And a baby tugging at your skirt.
634
00:59:06,053 --> 00:59:08,487
Are you really going to marry Kevin?
635
00:59:10,013 --> 00:59:13,005
I was, but now I realize
it's impossible.
636
00:59:13,533 --> 00:59:15,251
I'm glad.
637
00:59:20,253 --> 00:59:23,962
You know, every girl
I met always washed out.
638
00:59:24,533 --> 00:59:27,093
Just couldn't stand up to your image.
639
00:59:43,093 --> 00:59:45,812
I am not taking you to a bistro.
I'm taking you home to bed.
640
00:59:45,973 --> 00:59:48,043
- As in sleep, which you need.
- Miss O'Hara?
641
00:59:48,213 --> 00:59:50,283
NEELY: Yes?
- Would you autograph my program?
642
00:59:50,453 --> 00:59:52,045
NEELY:
Of course.
643
00:59:52,693 --> 00:59:54,285
There's Neely with Casablanca.
644
00:59:54,453 --> 00:59:56,648
- Where?
- Over there.
645
00:59:57,573 --> 00:59:59,484
Let's try and catch up to them.
646
00:59:59,933 --> 01:00:01,446
- Thank you.
- Darling, let's leave.
647
01:00:01,613 --> 01:00:05,367
Here comes Tony Polar.
He's gonna put the bite on me for a job.
648
01:00:13,093 --> 01:00:14,572

1130
01:50:58,255 --> 01:51:01,133
Curtain time, Miss O'Hara.
1131
01:51:01,615 --> 01:51:03,685
- Miss O'Hara?
- Where is she?
1132
01:51:03,855 --> 01:51:07,291
- She won't open up the door.
- Neely?
1133
01:51:07,455 --> 01:51:11,448
Open the door, you're on.
Neely?
1134
01:51:12,295 --> 01:51:16,004
- Hi.
- That's your costume for the second act.
1135
01:51:16,175 --> 01:51:20,214
- I'll do the second act first.
- Quick, get the understudy.
1136
01:51:20,375 --> 01:51:23,333
WOMAN:
I'm ready, Mr. Hamilton.
1137
01:51:24,335 --> 01:51:27,850
You get lost, sister, I'm fine.
I'm just dandy.
1138
01:51:28,015 --> 01:51:30,449
Let go of me, you big jerk!
1139
01:51:36,335 --> 01:51:39,054
MAN 1: It's getting late.
I think we ought to go.
1140
01:51:39,215 --> 01:51:42,252
MAN 2: The understudy was great.
MAN 1: Thank you.
1141
01:51:42,415 --> 01:51:45,373
WOMAN 1: What happened to Neely?
MAN 2: Are you kidding?
1142
01:51:45,535 --> 01:51:51,292
WOMAN 2: They said she had laryngitis.
- Who had laryngitis?
1143
01:51:51,975 --> 01:51:54,728
MAN 1: That new girl was terrific.
MAN 2: She sure was.
1144
01:51:54,935 --> 01:51:57,893
WOMAN 1:
It was a lovely evening, nevertheless.
1145
01:51:58,055 --> 01:52:01,092
My beautiful little dolls.
1146
01:52:01,255 --> 01:52:05,168
Just one, and one more.
1147
01:52:08,135 --> 01:52:10,933
We're closing now, Miss O'Hara.
1148
01:52:11,095 --> 01:52:13,370
All right, Edward. All right.
1149
01:52:14,095 --> 01:52:18,725
Here. Keep the change.
1150
01:52:18,895 --> 01:52:21,887
Shall I call you a cab?
1151
01:52:22,775 --> 01:52:25,573
I don't need it.
1152
01:52:31,775 --> 01:52:34,608
I don't need anybody.
1153
01:52:34,775 --> 01:52:37,926
Because I got talent, Edward.
1154
01:52:38,095 --> 01:52:40,211
Big talent.
1155
01:52:45,135 --> 01:52:47,285
They love me.
1156
01:53:06,055 --> 01:53:11,175
Hey! Where is everybody?
1157
01:53:11,335 --> 01:53:15,613
Hey, everybody, where are you?
1158
01:53:15,815 --> 01:53:18,693
Where are you?
1159
01:53:33,735 --> 01:53:36,010
Gone.
1160
01:53:37,215 --> 01:53:38,933
Gone.
1161
01:53:40,535 --> 01:53:43,493
Everybody's gone.
1162
01:53:44,295 --> 01:53:46,968
The hell with them.
1163
01:53:47,135 --> 01:53:49,933
Who needs them?
1164
01:53:50,655 --> 01:53:54,204
The whole world loves me!
1165
01:54:01,015 --> 01:54:04,132
Where are you?
1166
01:54:12,655 --> 01:54:15,567
Lyon?
1167
01:54:19,255 --> 01:54:21,052
Anne?
1168
01:54:25,895 --> 01:54:27,806
Jennifer?
1169
01:54:30,015 --> 01:54:32,245
Ted!
1170
01:54:34,295 --> 01:54:36,889
Mel.
1171
01:54:38,215 --> 01:54:40,888
Oh, God...
1172
01:54:43,935 --> 01:54:45,687
God...
1173
01:54:52,935 --> 01:54:55,449
God?
1174
01:54:57,735 --> 01:55:00,044
I'm Neely.
1175
01:55:01,535 --> 01:55:04,447
Neely O'Hara!
1176
01:55:10,095 --> 01:55:12,848
Oh, Neely.
1177
01:55:14,015 --> 01:55:18,531
Neely! Neely!
1178
01:55:42,055 --> 01:55:46,333
For so many years
I prayed for this moment.
1179
01:55:46,495 --> 01:55:50,124
Now that it's come,
I don't feel a thing.
1180
01:55:55,815 --> 01:55:58,807
Does that mean you won't marry me?
1181
01:55:58,975 --> 01:56:02,092
It wouldn't work, Lyon.
1182
01:56:11,415 --> 01:56:13,849
Isn't there anything I can do
to change your mind?
1183
01:56:14,015 --> 01:56:16,210
No, Lyon, not now.
1184
01:56:19,415 --> 01:56:20,734
Anne.
1185
01:56:24,895 --> 01:56:27,887
ANNE: Perhaps someday, Lyon.
I don't know.
1186
01:56:28,055 --> 01:56:29,727
Goodbye.
