The process went totally quiet after Hart stepped down, though there had to be frantic discussions for weeks in elegant Beverly Hills boites about who could be induced to step in late, and who might fulfill another suspected new requirement of no edgy material (as in: cutting political jokes, slashing jokes about stars and their peccadillos, pointed jokes about sensitive Hollywood topics like sexual harassment) — thanks to a sense that it doesn't play widely with the Oscars audience.

Luigi Alva was "on top form", Ileana Cotrubas was "enchantingly frivolous" and Frederica von Stade was "pungent and brilliant". (It was von Stade who provided the album with its emotional climax, he thought, in "a beautiful and heartfelt lament" in Act 2.)

The book begins by briefly introducing the reader to Phillips in 1989, before quickly travelling back to her childhood in 1940s Brooklyn. It then covers her early life and first successes in the film industry: she and Michael earned $100,000 from their debut feature, Steelyard Blues, moved to Malibu, California, and had a daughter, Kate. The most notorious chapters follow as Phillips enjoys her greatest career successes, perhaps most infamously when she recalls the amalgam of drugs she was under the influence of on the night she won her Oscar ("a diet pill, a small amount of coke, two joints, six halves of Valium, and a glass and a half of wine"). She also reveals the personal peccadillos and vices of the biggest Hollywood A-listers of the day, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Richard Dreyfuss, Goldie Hawn, and David Geffen.
