NOTORIOUS HOLLYWOOD GOLDEN AGE ACTRESS/FILM GODDESS TELLS ALL! A riotous rollercoaster ride through 20th century pop culture and politics, The Atomic Bombshell dishes the untold story of Mynx Devlin, the greatest film noir icon you’ve never heard of (but should have). A dazzling blend of historical fact and pulp fiction, Bombshell plays like E.L. Doctorow as rewritten by Sam Fuller-a hilarious and ultimately moving tale of a woman who refused to wear the social straitjackets imposed by Hollywood, J. Edgar Hoover, and America at large. Highly recommended. -Steven Smith, Filmmaker and biographer of Bernard Herrmann and Max SteinerFinally, the authentic memoir of Hollywood actress and B-movie queen Clara Mynx Devlin, aka The Atomic Bombshell -the woman J. Edgar Hoover called the most dangerous woman alive! The notorious Clara Mynx Devlin dishes the story of her wild life: a search for her true self wrapped inside a cascade of spectacular misadventures. The romances with JFK, Fidel Castro, Elvis and Howard Hughes. The murder trial. The blacklist (and the comeback!) This is the movie star biography that has EVERYTHING!Movie star, political pariah, lover of poets, presidents and prodigals: her life was an unhinged Hollywood melodrama, full of glamour, horror, violence, suspense, alcohol, sex, loving interludes, lusty diversions, horrific betrayals, and shimmering epiphanies. She lived it all. And now, finally, she tells all. Brilliant, hilarious and surprising from start to finish, R. Lee Procter’s The Atomic Bombshell takes the movie star biography and slaps it silly. If Preston Sturges, Douglas Adams and Christopher Moore had a baby, she would be Clara Mynx Devlin, the cinematic sex goddess who cut a sensational swath through Hollywood history, breaking famous hearts, kicking famous ass, and taking famous names. -Haris Orkin, Award-winning author of You Only Live Once
