Adored by some, abhorred by others, actress Vilma Valentine is presumed deadafter a fiery automobile collision in Mexico, her body never recovered. In theintervening years the fabled star is sighted more often than Bigfoot. Is it her ghostthat crashes a party for Ronald Reagan in Juarez, appears at the deathbed of herestranged father in Rome, flees from Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearstat the Parthenon?In 1969 Virginia Dofstader wins the Valentine lookalike contest publicizing TheCurse of Vilma Valentine by literary heavyweight Gerald Carstairs. In the course ofthe book’s promotion, it is discovered that Virginia’s mother looks even more likeVilma than Miss Dofstader does.As notorious in death as in life, Vilma haunts the imagination of aficionados of1940s movies. Did she really kill all those husbands? Was she a Nazi spy? Was shetruly responsible for the bombing of Pearl Harbor?Her story, a suspenseful stew of WWII saboteurs, stolen European artworks,murders and massacres, is told in the words of major Hollywood figures-lovers,friends, enemies, and Vilma herself. It’s all seasoned with a knowing dose ofromantic comedy.
