Event Details

Copies are available starting one month prior to the discussion, while supplies last.

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life, and chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job. Summoned to Evelyn's Upper East Side apartment, Monique listens as Evelyn unfurls her story: from making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the late 80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way.

Monique begins to feel a very a real connection to the actress, but as Evelyn's story catches up with the present it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.
