The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo ($9, originally $17) tells the story of the now-reclusive Old Hollywood starlet, who at 79 is ready to tell the true stories of her life as an actress, her seven marriages, and her various personal scandals. Evelyn chooses unknown journalist Monique Grant to write the tell-all biography in present day, and as the pair sit to discuss Evelyn's glamorous (and not-so-glamorous) life through the decades, it becomes clear to Monique why she was specifically chosen for this opportunity that will transform her career. The biography will alter the public memory of the famous Evelyn Hugo, but that's precisely what she wants: to take back the narrative and make crystal clear that she never claimed to be a good person.
