[California, primarily Hollywood: 1959-2010.]. Victoria Vetri, b. September 26, 1944, a.k.a. Angela Dorian: movie and television star, actress, model, singer, dancer, songwriter, poet, waitress, alcoholic, addict, and convicted felon. An extraordinary archive of the 1968 Playboy Playmate of the Year, and Hollywood B-movie actress, consisting primarily of journals and letters, interspersed with poetry, drawings, doodles and extra-illustration (approximately 7,500 pages, and approx. 1.25 million words) which give a rare and intimate picture of a woman whose promising career was derailed by abuse, exploitation and violence. This is Victoria Vetri’s first-hand account detailing her life in the Hollywood scene, the drug abuse, the relationships, and the unsettling night-life of a renowned sex symbol during two-and-a-half decades of the 20th century, and the first decade of the 21st. The journals span more than 45 years, (there are two gaps in the journals, totaling 15 years) and the daily entries are infused, if not fueled with drugs (marijuana, cocaine, crack, crystal methamphetamine and numerous prescription drugs which she regularly abuses); alcohol (beer, wine, 151 rum, tequila, vodka, among other concoctions); crime (physical abuse, shoplifting, credit card fraud, counterfeiting); and sex in its assorted varieties (masturbation, pornography, cross-dressing, one-night stands, sex in cars on highways and in parking lots, group sex, and even, hard to believe, serious relationships).
