A NEW HOLLYWOOD GRAPHIC NOVEL IS EXPOSING SERCRETS

Jill Gatsby is a comedian, writer, and Hollywood insider, set to release her explosive book titled "Murder on the Set".

In this revealing work, she unveils the hidden, often horrific realities of growing up in Hollywood—a world where glamour and darkness coexist in disturbing proximity. Jill’s upbringing in Hollywood was far from the fairy tale many imagine. Through her book, she aims to expose the darker side of the entertainment industry, detailing the abuse she experienced and witnessed.

Her father, Larry Cohen, was a well-known figure in Hollywood, and her aunt Ronni Chasen was one of the most influential publicists in the industry. However, behind the scenes, Jill describes a family normalized in abuse and a world more concerned with reputation than justice. She shares the story of the horrific murder of Elaine Siegel in 1992, likening it to a ‘Charles Manson style of murder,’ and how it was covered up to protect the family’s name.

In “Murder on the Set,” Jill also addresses broader societal issues, including racism and exploitation within Hollywood. Her experiences with people from diverse backgrounds provided support and salvation, contrasting sharply with the abuse she faced from those within her own family and community. The book serves as a powerful testament to Jill’s resilience and faith, offering hope to those who have suffered in silence.

A compelling aspect of the book is the use of art as a therapeutic outlet. Drawings became a refuge from the chaos around her, a theme that is expressively woven throughout the narrative. Jill truly hopes her story will resonate with readers from all walks of life, offering solace and the understanding that they are not alone in their struggles.
