Summary of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - A Comprehensive Summary



In the Preamble, Monique Award, a somewhat obscure author, is chosen by Evelyn Hugo, an antisocial Hollywood legend, to write her biography which uncovers every one of the insider facts about Evelyn’s numerous spouses. Monique doesn’t have the foggiest idea why she was picked. The book is to be distributed after Evelyn passes on, however, Monique can keep all of the proceeds.

In part I, Evelyn discusses being young, beautiful, and Cuban, yet growing up with an oppressive dad. She needed to move away, so she married her first husband Ernie because he was going to Hollywood to work as a lighting grip. Before long 16-year-old Evelyn is seen by a youthful Hollywood filmmaker, Harry Cameron. Evelyn then lures a 48-year-old chief, Ari Sullivan, so she can get greater jobs. It works. They turn her beautiful and show her how to dress. They need her to appear to be innocent, yet sensual. They also advise her to divorce Ernie so she can be seen dating Hollywood stars.

In part II, Evelyn meets Hollywood royalty, Don Adler, and goes gaga for him. His folks were both 1930’s stars. She weds him, however, he becomes abusive soon after they wed.
