Patricia Denning stars in a sad movie about ambition and heartbreak.

When Cecilia leaves college in Texas, she has everything: a wonderful boyfriend, Carl, an interesting job and an expensive house in a pretty town. Her life is perfect. Even her black Labrador dog, Perky, is a star: he wins the local dog competition and Hollywood wants to put him in a movie.
Cecilia goes to Hollywood with him and leaves her boyfriend alone back home. When the studio fires Perky, Cecilia decides to stay in Hollywood and tries to get other movie roles for her beautiful dog.

Carl gives Cecilia an ultimatum: come home and stop behaving crazily, or stay there forever. Cecilia decides to stay in Hollywood and wants to become an actress herself. She sends Perky back to Texas and starts an acting course. After six months, Cecilia realizes she can't act and she misses home, but it's too late. Carl has found another girlfriend. Cecilia tries to win him back, and also discovers a lot about herself on her long journey.

This is a very sad movie, which makes you think about what we want from life. Patricia Denning is very convincing as Cecilia, but the star of the movie is gorgeous Perky, the black Labrador who steals our hearts. Black Hollywood is in cinemas from next week.

Reading passage

Galileo’s Wild Idea

When Galileo (GAL-ih-LAY-oh) was a boy in Italy in 1574, he studied science. As he
grew older, Galileo became interested in studying the stars. At that time, most people
believed the sun moved around Earth. Galileo wanted to prove that Earth moved around
the sun.
Galileo got his idea after he read a book and learned more about stars. Galileo
studied Jupiter with a telescope. The telescope helped Galileo find some of Jupiter’s
many moons. He saw that the moons moved around Jupiter. Now he knew that some
things in the solar system did not move around Earth!
Galileo wanted to tell everyone about his idea, but he had a problem. Some of Italy’s rulers did not like the idea that Earth was not the center of the universe. They called
Galileo a troublemaker and threatened to kill him if he did not say that his ideas were
wrong. Galileo agreed, and instead of being killed, he spent the rest of his life in prison.
However, Galileo was right! Today we know that the planets move around the sun.
