A star since the early days of Hollywood, she survived the business for an unprecedented four decades before retiring to Crete. As the years wore on and her costars turned wrinkled and worn, Fedora\u2019s perfect features never faded. Now that she has finally passed, the secret to her longevity will be told\u2014a shocking revelation that will raise her to the level of myth.\r\n\r\nThese four novellas tell the story of Fedora and three of her costars in 1955\u2019s infamous The Miracle of Santa Cristi. Alongside the ageless beauty are William Marsh, whose days as a leading man are numbered; Bobbitt, a former child star still trading on his boyish good looks; and Lorna, a dim bulb who\u2019s too sexy for her own good.
