''Sunday Simmons & Charlie Brick'' was the third novel from English novelist Jackie Collins, published in 1971 by W.H. Allen. It was retitled ''The Hollywood Zoo'' in 1975 and then as ''Sinners'' in 1984. This would be Collins' first novel set in Los Angeles (the previous two had been set in London) and also the first one that centred on the lives and loves of film stars. The character of Charlie Brick was said to be based on actor comedian Peter Sellers, a close friend of Collins' at the time. ==Plot== Sunday Simmons is an aspiring actress. The daughter of a South American father and French mother, she left Rio de Janeiro to attend a drama academy in London. Two days after her departure, her parents were killed in a car crash. Charlie Brick was forty and famous. He was one of the best comedic actors in the world, but his relationships with women had never failed to disappoint him, including his cold, unloving wife Lorna. Herbert Lincoln Jefferson was working as a chauffeur for one of the Hollywood film companies. While his grotesquely fat wife, Marge, watched TV and ate all day, he was indulging in perverse sexual fantasies. The lives of the three characters intertwine when they meet in Hollywood. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunday Simmons & Charlie Brick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
