You'll Never Make Love in This Town Again
Encyclopedia
You'll Never Make Love In This Town Again is a book published in January 1996 which describes the stories of three prostitutes and one actress about their sexual encounters with various Hollywood celebrities. The sisters Robin Greer
and Liza Greer
are contributors along with Alexandra D. Datig, identified in the book as Tiffany, and Linda Hammond. The book generated extensive notoriety and sales, and was also the subject of a low-budget documentary.
The book was the subject of several reported lawsuits. On 1 March 1996, Datig sued the publisher Dove Books, and its executive, Michael Viner
. The action was dismissed by the Superior Court on October 23, 1996, but on July 15, 1999, it was reinstated and remanded for further proceedings by the California Court of Appeal
(Second District). In its published opinion, the court noted that "it appears that defense counsel violated several state wide rules of court and local rules, and that these violations resulted in unnecessary litigation and cost to plaintiff and her attorney in time and money," and instructed the Superior Court to consider sanctions against defendants and their attorneys. Linda Hammond sued Viner for sexual harassment. The suit was dropped.
In another case, Viner sued Hollywood madam
Heidi Fleiss
for slander, based on statements Fleiss made on a radio talk show about Viner and authors of the book. In 2000 a jury ruled in Fleiss's favor. In another case, one of the authors claimed that she had been forced unfairly to agree to reduced royalties under her contract with the publisher, and she won a jury verdict in her favor.
