Susann says Valley of the Dolls will top $2 million
Jacqueline Susann, who admits she is a poor speller, now expects Valley of the Dolls to gross at least two million dollars, with broader sales and a film adaptation already in place.

Her husband Irving Mansfield supports the push as she plans a second novel The Love Machine and a third work.
