The seven husbands of Evelyn hugo

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon

Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her

glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses

unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no

one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her?

Why now?

Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband

has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere.

Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her

biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to

jumpstart her career.

Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique

listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From

making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision

to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the

seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of

ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great

forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real

connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near

its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with

Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.
