Moll

A film portrait of Molly Parkin, painter, author of ten published novels (humorous erotica), journalist, fashion editor (Nova, Harpers, Sunday Times), TV celebrity and reformed alcoholic. Now seventy-four years old, she is outrageously honest about the sexual abuse she received as a child from her father. She tells of the influence upon her of both Chapel and the cinema in her youth; her adolescence and introduction to adult sex; her face-lift sponsored by the Sunday Telegraph; her relationships with two husbands, her lovers, her careers, her wealth and her descent into bohemian depravity and alcoholism in New York; her return nineteen years ago to sobriety. It's both moving and amusing: a colourful story told by this mature, highly intelligent and articulate lady.
