When the head of Columbia Pictures, David Begelman, got caught forging Cliff Robertson's name on a $10,000 check, it seemed, at first, like a simple case of embezzlement. It wasn't. The incident was the tip of the iceberg, the first hint of a scandal that shook Hollywood and rattled Wall Street. Soon powerful studio executives were engulfed in controversy; careers derailed; reputations died; and a ruthless, take-no-prisoners corporate power struggle for the world-famous Hollywood dream factory began.

First published in 1982, this now classic story of greed and lies in Tinseltown appears here with a stunning final chapter on Begelman's post-Columbia career as he continued to dazzle and defraud...until his last hours in a Hollywood hotel room, where his story dramatically and poignantly would end.

Painful. Chock full of characters I didn't care about. President of a movie studio embezzled money. That's about it. Then it u-turns into the back story of some investment bankers. Oof. I made it through 13 chapters and gave up. Great cure for insomnia. Incredibly disappointing. The narrator was good. At least there was that. Wow. Snooze fest.

Wow. What a bore.
