Product Description
From Library Journal
Love, lust, and the pursuit of power among the beautiful people of Tinsel Town are played to the hilt in this novel by a best-selling English author. Roxana Felix, supermodel extraordinaire, wants to make it on the silver screen; Eleanor Marshall, pioneer female studio president, wants a big hit and a baby; and would-be screen writer Megan Silver just wants out of her drab, hand-to-mouth existence. Megan's idea for a blockbuster plot gives her the courage to storm the bastion of Artemis Studios at just the right moment for arrogant CEO Tom Goldman, who takes the story and runs with it straight to Eleanor, who taps Roxana for the lead. As fate would have it, when Triple Feature is made, all three are rewarded for their relentless pursuit of fame and power, and everyone lives affluently and happily ever after. Raunchy, racy, and pure commercial fiction, this novel will likely go straight to a theater near you. For popular collections.?Susan Clifford, Palos Verdes Lib. Dist., Rolling Hills Estates, Cal.

From Booklist
Powerful agent Sam Kendrick prides himself on the lucrative movie packages that he and his agency, SKI, assemble from their roster of clients. This time he snares the hot Generation X director Fred Florescu while his blindly ambitious associate David Tauber signs the former Death Angel rocker Zach Mason and supermodel Roxana Felix, both of whom want to break out of their current careers. In a stroke of good timing, Kendrick also grabs the novice screenwriter Meagan Silver, whose "Triple Feature" script seems perfect for his two untried actors. Eleanor Marshall, the new president of Artemis Studios, green-lights this package deal and takes on an avalanche of responsibilities as the project moves from preproduction to actual filming. On location in the Seychelles, several calculated errors are engineered to sabotage the shoot and get Marshall fired. Relationships on and off camera are big, bold, and erotically charged. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, designer suits by Hugo Boss and Chanel, vintage Taittinger champagne, and dark, dark secrets--Bagshawe's Hollywood potboiler has it all. Jennifer Henderson

4.0 out of 5 stars
Titillating Page Turner, Dec 22 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triple Feature: A Novel (Hardcover)
Great romp! I read the original British version, "The Movie". Bagshawe has the requisite skill for this type of escapist fiction - sexy, witty (at times), tongue-in-cheek, femme fatale fantasies come to life. No aspirations for great literature although the writing is very good. Her first novel, Career Girls, is more thrilling. Reading her books makes you feel like a very clever, attractive, sophisticated babe who can conquer the world. You can't help but root for her heroines - brainy babes with laser-like focus. Also read her third novel, Tall Poppies, whose story lags a bit compared to the previous two. Saw her fourth novel on the shelves of my neighborhood library today: Venus Envy.

What a fun read!, Mar 12 2002
By Katie F. "kayters" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triple Feature: A Novel (Hardcover)
I simply adore good reads with a little romance and intrigue - where the good guys win, bad guys lose and screwed up folks get sorted out. This book does all that and wraps up nicely. Megan Silver is an unknown writer who has a flash of inspiration and writes a great screenplay. Now she just has to get it published. She moves from San Francisco to Los Angeles (though the book does this rather strangely - all of a sudden she is working at a chicken joint in LA and you have to page back to make sure of which character she is) to try to get her screenplay sold. Roxana Felix is a spoiled, self-absorbed supermodel turned wannabe actress. Eleanor Marshall is the new president of a failing movie studio. All of these women have something to prove and they all come together in a very fun, fast-paced read.

Reads like a.... soap opera, July 19 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triple Feature: A Novel (Hardcover)
This is the first Bagshawe book I read. I really liked her ability to portray a scene - I had the entire movie mentally cast as I was reading the book. (How about Angelina Jolie as Roxana?)This one prompted me to buy her others, some of which werent as good (Tall Poppies) and some even better (Venus Envy).
Definitely a great day-at-the-beach or afternoon-sick-in-bed read. The characters may be very "Hollywood", and the plot predictable, but *something* keeps us tuning into ET every night, and it isn't the quality journalism.
Listmania!
