Tryon s back, and headed for the best seller list again with a new Hollywood novel cut from the same cloth as Crowned Heads. In separate but interlocking segments, five fictional film stars are portrayed: an earthy sex symbol a la Mae West, a wartime girl-next-door, a sensitive intellectual driven mad by tinseltown s lack of privacy, a grande dame of the silent screen, and an embittered Oscar winner who turns to religion. All these women have the same agent, friend, and lover: Frankie Adano (a resourceful hustler, but not a particularly memorable character). Tryon s Hollywood lore is fun, but two of his heroines are so boring and vulgar that they are difficult to care about. Overlong and loaded with cliches, but likely to appeal to uncritical pop-fiction readers, who ll enjoy trying to identify who the characters "really are." Joyce Smothers, Ocean Cty. Lib., Toms River, N.J.
