Two women, a screenwriter and a studio executive, wage war against a sleazy Hollywood producer who is using blackmail, sexual pressure, and his ties to the underworld to promote a racy new film project called "Dirty Dreams"

From Library Journal:
Film industry insiders Obst (producer of Adventures in Babysitting and Heartbreak Hotel) and Wolper (a screenwriter) write of a movie business so full of dirty deals, sex, and drugs, that it's amazing that any film worth watching gets made in Hollywood. The cast of characters is headed by baby mogul Nicole Lansford, and her protege, secretary-cum-screenwriter Carolyn Foster, two women who give new meaning to the word shallow. Lansford goes toe-to-toe with producer Lance Burton, trying to block the production of his salacious, decadent new film, Dirty Dreams . He and Nicole play their game of high stakes in some of the chicest watering holes and shops in Los Angeles. This glitzy novel raises the art of name-dropping to new heights, but the insider information is eclipsed by the inferior writing. Demand may be created by a summer release and Wolper's movie connections. Not recommended. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 2/15/90.

This silly but harmless bit of glitz is the collaboration of a Hollywood producer and a scriptwriter. Ruthless and successful producer Lance Burton wants Millennium Studios to give him total control over his sex-in-handcuffs cinematic "statement." Studio exec Nicole Lanford, foreseeing disaster, becomes the target of in-house battles between Bambi Stern and David Beach, each vying for her job. Other Hollywood figures include CEO Ted McGuinness, whose goal is to avoid all conflict and retire wealthy; Kevin Holberstein, Millennium president whose secret will force him to act against Nicole; Carolyn Foster, whose loyalty to Nicole must withstand Bambi's predatory ambitions for her boyfriend; and a cast of assorted agents, bimbos, hangers-on and would-be Hollywood moguls, legitimate and otherwise. Lists of brand names pass for description, and in general the prose is underwhelming ("They were as different as fire and ice."). Still, it is an amiable mediocrity.
