4. We see Hattie work and be friends with many big names in Hollywood...

Post by smkelly »

We see Hattie work and be friends with many big names in Hollywood throughout the book. What did you think of Hattie’s relationships with these people and with Hollywood as a whole?

I think Hattie had a small circle of “true” friends. The other colleagues and “big names” in Hollywood were just associates (part of the business of “who’s who”). Hattie was a smart lady, she was friendly with her colleagues and associates and used that to her advantage. She was well aware that she was being frowned upon from both sides in show business and she seemed to avoid conflict whenever she could to keep the peace.

Hattie seems to not have as many friends as she did coworkers and acquaintance's. She did find true friendship with telulah and ruby as well as some others but most people that surrounded her talked down and laughed behind her back.
