Sam: How did you get the lead in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls? Dolly: I had an old brown push button Dodge Dart and I was going up Peco Boulevard in Beverly Hills, where 20th Century Fox is, and I was literally poor. I looked up and there was a big billboard that was advertising Hello Dolly! I knew I was going to get the part. It was like a mantra from heaven when I saw the words Hello Dolly! I knew that was a sign. I walked in there full of confidence because I knew I was going to get it. Isn’t that weird? I went for the part that Cynthia Myers got, but [Russ Meyer] said “No, I want this part for you.” Pop Culture Addict.
