Dancing at Ciro's: A Family's Love, Loss, and Scandal on the Sunset Strip

Dancing at Ciro's: A Family's Love, Loss, and Scandal on the Sunset Strip by Weller, Sheila. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780312283018.

In 1958, young Sheila Weller was living a charmed life with her family in Beverly Hills. Her father was a brilliant brain surgeon. Her mother was a movie-magazine writer whose brother owned Hollywoods most dazzling nightclub, Ciros. Then her world exploded after she witnessed her uncles brutal attempt to kill her father. Weller has written a deeply felt memoir of her familys life contrasted with those most glamorous days of Hollywoods forties and fifties. While vividly describing Lana Turners, Frank Sinatras, and Sammy Davis Jr.s evenings--and breakdowns--at Ciros, Weller casts a keen eye on her own familys turmoil and loss.
