Sunday Simmons & Charlie Brick was the third novel from English novelist Jackie Collins, published in 1971 by W. H. Allen, it was retitled The Hollywood Zoo in 1975 and then as Sinners in 1984.

The character of Charlie Brick was said to be based on actor comedian Peter Sellers, a close friend of Collins' at the time.

The daughter of a South American father and French mother, she left Rio de Janeiro to attend a drama academy in London.

He was one of the best comedic actors in the world, but his relationships with women had never failed to disappoint him, including his cold, unloving wife Lorna.

While his grotesquely fat wife, Marge, watched TV and ate all day, he was indulging in perverse sexual fantasies.
