This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!: Deep Inside Valley of the Dolls, the Most Beloved Bad Book and Movie of All Time''''' is a non-fiction book by [[Stephen Rebello]]. It details the creation of the [[Valley of the Dolls (novel)|1966 novel of the same name]] by first-time novelist [[Jacqueline Susann]] and documents every aspect of the creation of the 1967 motion picture adaptation ''[[Valley of the Dolls (film)|Valley of the Dolls]]''.

The book was first published on June 2, 2020, by [[Penguin Books]]. Stephen Rebello extensively researched the narrative through the personal records and archives of film director [[Mark Robson (film director)|Mark Robson]], producer [[David Weisbart]], studio records of the film's distributor [[20th Century Fox]], court case depositions including those of [[Darryl F. Zanuck]], [[Richard D. Zanuck]], studio executive [[David Brown (producer)|David Brown]], accessing contemporary news accounts through newspaper and magazine archives, as well as through new interviews he conducted with actors, crew members, journalists and others involved in the film and/or active in the entertainment business at the time the film was in preproduction, production and release.

==Synopsis==
Rebello details the writing, publication, promotion, controversy and international success of the original novel written by Jacqueline Susann as well the discovery of the novel by fledgling film producer [[Robert Evans]] and its preemptive sale to [[20th Century Fox]]. From there, the book documents the development of the screenplay by three successive writers [[Harlan Ellison]], [[Helen Deutsch]] and [[Dorothy Kingsley]]; the intense competition among  young actresses wanting to play Susann's young heroines "Anne Welles", "Neely O'Hara" and "Jennifer North"; the hiring of costume designer [[Travilla]] and legendary cinematographer [[William H. Daniels]] and songwriters [[Dory Previn]] and [[Andre Previn]]; the details of the hiring and firing of [[Judy Garland]], the hiring of her replacement [[Susan Hayward]] and the sometimes-contentious processes of filming, editing, scoring by [[John Williams]]; postproduction, promotion and major success at the box-office despite negative reviews by the critics. ''Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!'' sheds light on the daily lives of the filmmakers, some of whom believed they were making a frank and honest look at women struggling with prescription pill addiction, betrayal, loneliness and terminal illness as they climb the ladder of show business success.

==Publication history==
((Unreferenced section|date=August 2020))
The book was published in [[paperback]] on June 2, 2020, by [[Penguin Books]] and concurrently became available on [[Amazon Kindle|Kindle]] and in an unabridged version for [[Tantor Media]] narrated by Paul Boehmer. Less than a month after publication, the book went into a second printing.
