We are ascending the Mr Everest of camp this week to plunge into 1967’s “Valley of the Dolls”! While not necessarily a good movie, it is still a GREAT movie, with Patty Duke absolutely sparkling as Neely (especially when it comes to conquering Cystic Fibrosis!), Barbara Parkins laying on the beach briefly, everything Susan Hayward does in that bathroom but especially the iconic wig reveal, Lee Grant as the potentially lesbian sister/manager or a fated nightclub singer and Best Supporting Sharon Tate getting some of the most iconic lines of the movie.
