Jacqueline Susann wrote six catalogued books. Every Night, Josephine! (1963) opens the list, a book about her dog; Valley of the Dolls (1966) followed and stands among the best-selling books in publishing history. With The Love Machine (1969) and Once is Not Enough (1973), Susann became the first author to put three novels in a row at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Dolores (1975) and Yargo (1979) complete the catalogue, both appearing after her death in 1974. Susann was born in 1918 and worked as an actress as well as a novelist, and the motion picture and television industries supply much of her subject matter.
