The hyperactive love child of Page Six and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? caught in a tawdry love triangle with The Fan. Even Kitty Kelly will blush.

Soaked, nay, marinated in the world of vintage Hollywood, Tell-All is a Sunset Boulevardā€“inflected homage to Old Hollywood when Bette Davis and Joan Crawford ruled the roost; a veritable Touretteā€™s syndrome of rat-tat-tat  name-dropping, from the A-list to the Z-list; and a merciless  send-up of Lillian Hellmanā€™s habit of butchering the truth that will have Mary McCarthy cheering from the beyond.

Our Thelma Ritterā€“ish narrator is Hazie Coogan, who for decades has tended to the outsized needs of Katherine ā€œMiss Kathieā€  Kentonā€”veteran of multiple marriages, career comebacks, and cosmetic surgeries. But danger arrives with gentleman caller Webster Carlton Westward III, who worms his way into Miss Kathieā€™s heart (and boudoir). Hazie discovers that this bounder has already written a celebrity tell-all memoir foretelling Miss Kathieā€™s death in a forthcoming Lillian Hellmanā€“penned musical extravaganza; as the body count mounts, Hazie must execute a plan to save Katherine Kenton for her fansā€”and for posterity.

Tell-All is funny, subversive, and fascinatingly clever. Itā€™s wild, itā€™s wicked, itā€™s  bold-facedā€”itā€™s vintage Chuck.
