Valley of the Dolls, was the blockbuster novel of women's Rx fixes in the late 60s. They made a movie of it, too. It's quite the "mirror" of past & present women's pysch & emotional issues. Life has been surreal (in moments) for quite some time. The Rolling Stone's "Mother's Little Helper" fits in there musically, along with Grace Slick's "White Rabbit".

Very strange time to be alive and aware of society, politics, and values back then.
Success is never final, failure is never fatal.

Yes, I've heard of Valley of the Dolls though I haven't watched it.

I like seeing all the old advertisements just wish the small text was more clear/less fuzzy.

"Burroughs Wellcome (sold meth) eventually merged with Glaxo to form GlaxoWellcome, which then merged with SmithKline Beecham to become GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). So, in a sense, Burroughs Wellcome's legacy is part of the modern pharmaceutical giant GSK"
