Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but giving it a try as Google and ChatGPT have been no help.
I’m looking for the title of a book that I read many years ago. From my recollection it would have been written in the 90’s possibly.
The plot of the story was about a young lady who was an aspiring actress or model and the difficulties she went through to become famous. Including producers wanting to be sexually compensated for jobs. At one point I believe there is a remark about her not getting a job because she has stretch marks.
From my recollection I think she does end up famous by the end of the book and possibly marrying someone rich. For some reason I also recall her going back to her natural hair colour at the end.
I feel like the ending was her seeing the love of her life’s ghost in the water and she jumps in so she can be with him again.
I do also feel like it was a book written by a fairly popular author.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as it’s driving me insane.
ETA: I think it was possibly set around the 80’s and possibly Sunset Boulevard for some reason
