Valley Of The Dolls is the perfect camp film ,just the so called musical numbers alone make it campy , especially Susan Hayward's unforgettable (for all the wrong reasons) performance of 'Ill Plant My Own Tree', 'It's my yard ,so I will try hard to welcome friends I have yet to know!', whoever wrote that song must be using some dolls themselves,and whoever designed the set for that scene has no taste at all And this film is a perfect example of how a book is different from the movie ,in the novel Anne did not walk out of her own house when Lyon showed up ,in the book they were married and had a daughter named Jennifer, at the end of the novel Anne slipped further into pill addiction , Anne and Helen Lawson were friends also ,Helen did not fire Neely from her show, in fact she gave her a break, and Jennifer was not a dumb blonde, she did not do nudie films to pay for Tony's medical costs she did the movies over in Paris because she wanted to

I remember this series when I was a young kid ,my mother used to watch this series when it was on CBS , because when it went to ABC many affiliates stopped carrying it , I would catch it on channel 27, but the picture quality for this station was terrible , but I was lucky enough to buy some episode's from video dealers ,and the last episode was a cliffhanger ,the Edge Of Night was a distinctive soap like Dark Shadows, now this is a series that Soap Net or T.V. Land should rerun ,The reason this show was canceled besides falling viewer ship was that Proctor and Gamble who owned the series dropped their sponsorship, so ABC had no choice but to cancel the series after 28 years and 7,000 episodes I am a fan of the show and i would like to see it in reruns , I do remember seeing it in reruns on USA around 1986 or 1987
