Star by Danielle Steel?

Here is another description:
Kirkus:It's California, 1946, and romping through those golden fingers is Crystal Wyatt, part wood-nymph, part Cinderella, so beautiful at age 15 that grown men practically cry out and fall to the ground in the wake of her passing. Crystal is the daughter of an honest but dumb and poor rancher, and a horrible mother who is always yelling at her to do one thing or another. Who should arrive on the scene, then, but a handsome prince named Captain Spencer Hill, a newly returned war hero on his way back East to rich family, law school, and a career in politics. The two are smitten, but Crystal is too young; (view spoiler)[sighing wearily, Spencer heads back to New York, eventually to marry the ambitious and very proper Elizabeth Barclay (hide spoiler)]. In the meantime, Crystal is raped by an evil brother-in-law and runs away to San Francisco, where she waits tables, becomes a singer, and eventually ends up a big movie star under the auspices of Svengali-like manager Ernie Salvatore,(view spoiler)[ who is murdered under mysterious circumstances. Naturally, Crystal is accused of the crime, and Spencer gives up all--promising career and shrewish Elizabeth--to fly west and defend her. (hide spoiler)](Kirkus Reviews, February 15, 1988)
