The inspiration for the Sofia Coppola film. The true story of the privileged teenagers who stole millions of dollars worth of valuables from celebrities.
With a list of victims that reads like a “Who’s Who” of young Hollywood, including Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, and Rachel Bilson, The Bling Ring is the stuff of writers' imaginations - with one exception - it’s a true story.
The media asked: Why would a group of kids who already had designer clothes, money, cars, and status take such risks? Award-winning journalist Nancy Jo Sales found the answer: They did it because they could. And because it was easy.
A great piece of crime reportage,
The Bling Ring is a shocking look at the seedy world of the real young Hollywood (The New York Observer).
For a satire on America’s modern day celebrity culture, The Bling Ring is hard to beat.
