Description
When ten-year-old Juliette’s father tragically dies, she is left alone with her mentally disturbed mother. As Juliette comes of age in London during the sixties while struggling to support her mother, she finds a job at London’s Playboy Club as a casino bunny. The adventurous Juliette is soon running with a crowd of famous musicians and actors, many of whom become her lifelong friends.
Inevitably, Juliette’s mother renders them homeless, and they leave London wiht no money for an unknown life in Istanbul, where Juliette eventually runs to Beirut to work as a nightclub singer. A year later, she is thrown into the civil war and to survive, runs ammunition for political assassins. Back in London, Juliette finally escapes her mother’s clutches and, with blind determination, moves to LA to make it as an entertainer. There, she enters Hugh Hefner’s Playboy circle and rubs elbows with A-list stars, finding new connections and opportunities, as she discovers what she wants to do with the rest of her life.
In Between the Magic is the true story of the remarkable Juliette Watt, whose ability to survive and thrive, find love, and confront heartache will inspire and endlessly entertain you.
