Dive into the glittering yet treacherous world of 1950s Hollywood with Katherine Blake's debut novel, "The Unforgettable Loretta, Darling." In this week's Jen's Jewels column, we explore the fascinating genesis of a makeup artist turned vengeful protagonist, the dark underbelly of Tinseltown, and the delicate balance of addressing heavy themes within a thrilling narrative. Blake shares her inspiration, from vintage makeup collections to real-life scandals, and offers insights into her vivid characters, including the straight-talking British northerner Loretta and the aging starlet Sally Dee. With comparisons to "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and "Killing Eve," this interview promises a tantalizing glimpse into a story that blends glamour, corruption, and a dash of lethal cosmetics in the golden age of cinema.
