About this item

[Read by Jayme Mattler]From one of Vanity Fair's rising stars comes a brilliant, star-studded portrait of the glamorous and brazen Hollywood artist, muse, and writer Eve Babitz.Hollywood, California in the 60s and 70s was the cultural capital of America and the world -- a movie factory, a music factory, a dream factory. Eve Babitz, the subject of Lili Anolik's remarkable new book, is Hollywood's native daughter.Babitz, the child of bohemian parents and a graduate of Hollywood High, posed, at age twenty, in 1963, with the great French artist Marcel Duchamp. She was naked; he was not. The photo, cheesecake with a Dadaist twist, went on to become one of the most celebrated images of its era. Over the next several years, Babitz turned herself into the West Coast's answer to Edie Sedgwick: a groupie with an artistic streak (or is that an artist with a groupie streak?) .
