BENEDICT CANYON

Kate Watson, editor of a New York publishing company, dedicates herself to salvaging the incomplete autobiography of Lydia Southland, a major television star. As their friendship grows, they acknowledge truths about themselves and maintain their integrity, in two very cut-throat industries. The story is told in a brisk manner which reflects the frantic pace of the lives portrayed. The narrator tells the story well and does not change voices for various characters. Telephone conversations are very life-like, with the listener able to discern the tininess of the transmitted voice. A successful telling of a tale of private and public lives of two media women.
