...Pompeian extravaganza: the ornate staircases wobbled, the floor under Natalie's bathroom (with its sunken 6-ft.-square tub) sagged, the ceiling fell on the enormous canopied bed. Flaky plaster sifted down on Natalie's 20-ft. marble dressing table, sank into a 6-in.-deep sheepskin rug, powdered the antique balustrades cut from the top of Marion Davies' beach castle in Santa Monica, drifted across the lanai, with its his-and-hers swimming pools (Nat's adorned with an antique Grecian female statue, R.J.'s with a Greek male).

...psychiatrist's couch is clobbered over the head by a fat-lady voice coach ("We must always remember to keep our vowels open!"), gets stuck astraddle a spiked, swinging gate. When that gets rusty, he drops ice cubes down m'lady's bosom, pulls the rug out from under a gaggle of dancers, crunches up the boss's dishes in the clothes washer...
