Final Edition<br />
It's one of the shrillest moments of dialogue in any film you'll ever see. A wasted and drunken Neely O'Hara (Patty Duke) has reached<br />
the pits of her career, the entertainment w<strong>or</strong>ld has thrown her out with the trash, and the haggard looking twentysomething screams<br />
to the high heavens as if to remind the w<strong>or</strong>ld -- and herself -- that she once was somebody.<br />
In "Valley of the Dolls," the scene is just one of the many overacted moments that chronicle the downfall of three young women who<br />
turn to pills ("dolls") and booze to make it in show business. Though it was panned universally by critics and spawned an equally<br />
detested sequel, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls," three years later, the film has enthralled audiences f<strong>or</strong> 40 years.<br />
Based on the trashy novels by Jacqueline Susann, the campy cult classics caused an uproar of scandal and outrage, amid some of the<br />
w<strong>or</strong>st reviews ever garnered by two films. "Dolls" will be released on Tuesday along with its equally provo<strong>cat</strong>ive sequel "Beyond the<br />
Valley of the Dolls" in special edition DVDs by Fox Home Entertainment.<br />
"Valley of the Dolls" (1967) starred Duke, Barbara Parkins and Sharon Tate as three aspiring actresses/singers who move to New Y<strong>or</strong>k<br />
and become embroiled in the show biz w<strong>or</strong>ld of sex, drugs and booze. The bonus features include the screen test by Judy Garland,<br />
who was replaced (by Susan Hayward) just weeks after filming began when she suffered a breakdown on the set.<br />
"Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" (1970), with its screenplay by a young film critic named Roger Ebert, earned a studio-dreaded X<br />
rating f<strong>or</strong> its explicit sex scenes. The film told the st<strong>or</strong>y of the all-girl band the Carrie Nations, who go to Hollywood in search of fame,<br />
Parkins, who starred in "Valley of the Dolls" as Anne Welles, the small-town girl with the model good looks, talked about the film that<br />
became a classic in spite of itself.<br />
Q. How did you get the role of Anne?<br />
A. I was at Fox doing "Peyton Place" and we got w<strong>or</strong>d on the lot that "Valley of the Dolls" was being cast. Well, I wanted Neely; every<br />
actress on the lot wanted Neely, the big dramatic character. I just went up to [Fox studio chief] Dick Zanuck, and two days later I did<br />
get a screen test and got the role of good girl Anne Welles. But it turned out to be quite wonderful.<br />
Q. Did you, Patty and Sharon become pals during the film?<br />
A. Not so much with Patty. But Sharon and I became very close friends. I was maid of hon<strong>or</strong> at her wedding [to direct<strong>or</strong> Roman<br />
Polanski]. I would visit them often in London.<br />

Q. How did her h<strong>or</strong>rific murder affect you?<br />
A. To this day, it's still hard to comprehend, especially because she was due to give birth any day. I can't imagine how Roman deals<br />
with those mem<strong>or</strong>ies. She was just beautiful, far ahead of her time. She was gentle, sweet and funny.<br />
Q. What was Judy Garland like?<br />
A. We had w<strong>or</strong>ked together f<strong>or</strong> two days on set, then she locked herself in her dressing room and refused to come out f<strong>or</strong> hours. They<br />
finally fired her. She walked off the set and took a [costume] gown with her. She was an emotional roller coaster who would argue<br />
with the direct<strong>or</strong> if she didn't like how she was photographed. When she was happy, she'd hug you bef<strong>or</strong>e a take and say, "We're<br />
gonna have a great scene!" We all knew we were in the presence of a really phenomenal actress.<br />
Q. How did you feel about playing out your first big-screen romance opposite act<strong>or</strong> Paul Burke?<br />
A. I just thought he was so old. How could my character be in love with him? I had dated Cat Stevens a little bit at that time, so I<br />
put a picture of Cat on my [trailer] do<strong>or</strong>, so when I would go out to do my scenes with Paul, I would just think of Cat instead.<br />
