Synopsis

William is sent to Hollywood to assist in the making of a programme about Willard Kaines, a rich and aged film star who is rumoured to be awarded a special Oscar. However, no one has a good word to say for Kaines, and his second wife reveals an explosive secret about him which she has hidden for 40 years.

About this title

From the Back Cover

...Where’s your crew?’
‘Well, they won’t be here till this afternoon,’ William said. ‘They’re doing another interview this morning with an actress who made a few films with Willard Kaines. Well, I expect you know her. Kate Goodenough?’
‘Kate Goodenough? That ole whore?’
‘Pardon?’ The description hardly seemed to suit the little old lady whom William had interviewed only the previous morning. She, too, had been tiny – indeed William’s researches among the senior citizens of Hollywood were fast leading him to the conclusion that back in the 1930s there hadn’t been a star of either sex who was much more than five feet tall – and she had most certainly not looked like a whore. She was demure and pretty, with fluffy white hair and round, innocent eyes and she looked like America’s ideal grandmother. In fact she played America’s ideal grandmother in an instant-coffee commercial.
‘Sure,’ said Rex Angell. ‘We used to call her Caint Getenough. Jeeze, I could tell you stories about her that would set your shorts on fire. Why, I remember one night when she and I...’ He stopped and a faraway look came into his eyes.
