CrimeReads    1950s Hollywood: Every actress wants to play Salome  the star-making role in a
big-budget movie about the legendary woman whose story has inspired artists since ancient
times.  So when the film’s mercurial director casts Vera Larios  an unknown Mexican ingenue  in
the lead role  she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy
for Nancy Hartley  a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the
fame she believes she richly deserves.  Two actresses  both determined to make it to the top in
Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip  scandal  and intrigue—make for a sizzling
combination.  But this is the tale of three women  for it is also the story of the princess
Salome herself  consumed with desire for the fiery prophet who foretells the doom of her
stepfather  Herod: a woman torn between the decree of duty and the yearning of her heart. 
Before the curtain comes down  there will be tears and tragedy aplenty in this sexy Technicolor
saga.
