in LA city and somewhere in the sky. A few stars barely twinkle while most don't even

try. And it's sure dark and lonely.

Sidewalks.

I am Nanette Duval. Glad to meet you. You don't recognize me, do you, Nanette Duval?

kids today. I've played opposite the greatest. John Gilbert, Chaplin, Valentino, my .

Oh yes, the name sounds very familiar. Well, I've been at it quite a while, my dear. Do

you know why kids today don't recognize me? It's because I refuse. I absolutely refuse

to do television. I always have and I always will. I consider it totally beneath me. Do

you know a lot of stars refuse to do television? Yes. I once considered it. One time, my

agent, that rat, almost talked me into it. And you know he wanted me to play? A mother.

Can you believe it? And of a grown man to boot. Don't you ever. Don't you ever play

mothers, do you hear? Yes, mothers are definitely out. That's right. And don't do television

either. I shudder to think of what my fans would have thought if they saw me play a mother.

Can you believe it? You know, mothers aren't sexy. And if your public sees you do a character

that you're not right for, they begin to suspect that you're growing old, and you know where

that leads to, don't you? Know what you ought to do? want to get yourself a good manager.

That's what you need. I'd be very glad to introduce you to my manager, but I think he died. Quite

a long time, though.

Beautiful. Okay, now, pow a little. Pow, a little more. Good, good. Let's see a little profile.

A little more to the right. A little bit more. Good, good. Now, turn a little more to the

right. A little more profile. Beautiful, beautiful. Now, a little more to the left. Turn the other

side now. A little bit more. More, smile. Good, a little more. A little bit more. Beautiful.

Now, think sex. That's what we're selling, right? Sizzle, Fully, baby, sizzle. Beautiful. Take

a break. I gotta check something here.

How am I doing? Oh, fantastic. Beautiful. You really know how to commune. That's the

right word. Commune for the camera. Did you know that? I used to do some modeling in Chicago.

Really? Shows. Shows. Would you like a glass of wine? It's good for total relaxation. You

know what I mean? Sure.

to your success. Thank you.

Do that again. Take a sip. ahead. That is wonderful. That is beautiful, Alicia. The way you drink,

it's so lovely. It's so sensuous. So drink. So incredible. I'd like to shoot that. You

wouldn't mind, would you? No. Let me refill your glass.

I just love classical music. How did you know that? Oh, I just guessed. Both show artists

love the classics.

You are a dream, Alicia, you know that? Everything's fine. We are really gonna create now, aren't

we? All right now, sip a little, a little more, good. Think sex. Good, drink some more,

yeah, take a big gulp. Beautiful, good, take a sip, more. , you turned me on. Drink

a little bit, drink it all, good. Okay now, let me see some sex, I'm a Tom Jones style.

How do you feel, Alicia? Fine. That's it. Oh, , you turned me on. Thank you, Smiley.

Keep thinking sexy. I want to fuck you so bad. Good, good. I to your lips against my cock.

Beautiful. I want to pound against you. want to stick it inside so deep. Beautiful. Thank

you. I want to stick my tongue right up your pussy. , you really make me hard.

Take this shit off your body. Oh, is that beautiful? I just wanna fuck you. I wanna eat your pussy

so bad. I love it. Don't talk like that, please. Why not? Why not? I don't like it. Please.

Please. I'm gonna fuck you. I don't like dirty charts like that. Please. I want to go home.

I think I'm gonna be sick. Here, come with me. I'll help you. I'll take care of you. Come

on. That's it. It's fine. That's a good girl. feel better now, believe me. You love this

beautiful body. I want to do so many things to you.

Mmm.

Oh

feel better.

It's okay. It's

Thank

I love you. I love you. I love you.

I hate you.

Nothing, nothing. I was just out jogging. You shouldn't go out jogging after dark. It's dangerous.

Yes, Mother, I know. How's everything? Okay. Guess what? I got a job today. That's great!

Acting? No, Mom, not acting. It takes time, you know. I've only been here a month. So

in other words, what I'm saying is use that moment.

Hi. You look kind of lost. Oh, it shows, A little bit. I'm Alicia. Nice to meet you.

I'm Kathy. You from here? I mean, LA? No. I've only been here about a month. Oh, kind

of scary, huh? Well, first anyway. Look, after class, do you want to come over to our place

for some coffee and chit chat? Our place? Are you married? No. No. See that girl up there?

That's Stephanie. She's my roommate. She's nice. She looks tough, but underneath she's all mush.

You'll like her. OK. Isn't he something? Who? Aaron, the teacher. OK, everybody. Just be

quiet. Get started. Let's start off with some improvs. Rudy, you work with Brenda. Paul,

I'd like you to work with... You're new here, aren't you? Yes. What's your name again? I'm

sorry, I'm lousy. Kathy. Kathy. Kathy Heinlein. Kathy, want you to work with Paul. He'll explain

the exercise to you, okay? Let's see. Barry and Teresa, Jim and Lisa. Okay, that's it.

You've got three minutes. BOOM

Thank you. So are you. In that case, let's forget this improv and go to my place. Is

that supposed to be funny? Yeah, definitely. Well, it's not. Well, it would have been

if you'd have picked up on it. See, I'm a very funny guy, especially in bed. Ask any

girl. Some of them are probably still laughing.

Oh, look, I'm sorry. I thought, you know, girls today were a little more open-minded. Not when

they're from Toledo. Well, you really turned out to be a bitch, you know that? Why don't

you go suck an egg? For Pete's sake, man. I'm not asking for that much, am I? I gave you

my answer. And that's the only one you're going to get. Get it?

Okay, that was good. Anyone care to react? Every time that asshole gets on stage, he

disappears. He stinks. What a creep. How about Aaron? Isn't he something? What about Aaron?

I'm talking about his acting. I just want to make a point. Aaron is strictly small potatoes.

So what if you get yourself into a big production showcase? Big deal. What you need to know in

this town is the right people. What about talent? Do you know how many talented schmucks are

crawling all over this town? Who can't even get themselves arrested? Well, I think Aaron's

a genius and I really admire him. That recording won't even get you on a bus ticket beheaded

back home.

Kathy, where are you living? In Hollywood, near Hollywood Boulevard. Oh, yuck. That's awful.

I almost got assaulted the other night. Some guy started running after me. , I made it

back to the apartment. How can you live there? I thought the ghost of the stars would bring

me luck. The stars never lived in Hollywood, didn't you know that? The only thing you find

in Hollywood are starving actors, pimps, whores, and tourists. Also plenty of cockroaches. And

most of the time you can't even tell them apart. That includes the cockroaches. I really like

it here. It's nice.

Slowly up.

Shake it out.

Good.

I'd like to give you a call. Maybe we could have lunch, dinner. What do you say? I don't

think it would be a good idea. Why not? Because you're married to my best friend.

Mr. Claussen, yes, I saw your ad in the casting paper and I mailed you some pictures. Oh, you

liked them? Thank you, thank you very much. Yes, I'm a very good actress, I assure you.

I'm not sure I know what you mean. Yes, I'm free this afternoon. No, that would be no problem.

Thank you, Mr. Claussen, I'll see you at three. There will be pictures about one month. Thank

you.

If you're parked out front, better move your car. They're handing out tickets right down

the line. Thank you. I'm not driving. You're a model or an actress. I'm an actress. What

a happy coincidence. I'm a personal manager. The best. Come with me.

See, I wasn't kidding. Jack Stein. Personal management. Come on in. Okay. Now, you don't

have too many credits, do you? Nothing to speak of. How good of an actress are you? Try me.

I know someone who just might want to do that. Listen, I really like your looks. You're

beautiful, you know that. Of course you know that. Thank you.

Raymond, how are you? Good. Yes, just Barbie do. Wait a minute. I am calling about your

new project. I have someone in my office to be just right for you. Oh, yes, she is. OK.

I'll arrange it. Yes, yes, sure. She's dying to meet you. OK. OK. Yes. Thank you, Raymond.

I just got you a date with one of the biggest producers in Hollywood. If he likes you, you're

in. How's that start today? Why did you do that? Why? It's weird question. Because... because

that's what I do for a living. Besides, I like to discover new talent. And I've had a very

good year so far, so I can afford to take a few chances. Now, what's my reward? How much

do managers get? You mean in money. Fifteen percent. Interested? I am. I really am. And

I'm very grateful. Now what do you say we examine how well you can really act?

you

I'm

I loved your pictures. You're a very attractive young lady. Thank you. Not too much experience,

I've done some student films and some acting in high school. I'm studying right now. That's

what they all say. Well, it's true. Why don't you stand up? Sure. Why? Because I want to

take good look at you. You don't mind, do you? Show me your legs. Is this a union film? Of

course it's a union film. It's only type of films I make.

Pull up your skirt. Higher, damn it. Now what's the matter with you? Mr. Clawson, if getting

this part in your film is contingent upon how my legs look, then I don't think I'd better

read for it. Miss Heinlein, is it? Do you think that someone with no professional background

is in any position to judge what's going to go over with the public? I mean, I'm seriously

considering you for this part. You're not making it very easy, are you? I'm sorry.

That wasn't too hard, was it?

Now look at that. It's all yours too. Wanna give it a little kiss, huh? Kiss, kiss, kiss.

Huh? Come on, be a good little girl.

Come on, kiss kiss? It's not too much to ask for, it?

I'd like to call you sometime. Maybe we could, fill up my job. Dinner? I don't think that'd

be a good idea. Why not? Because you're married to my best friend. Oh, that's right. I forgot

about that. Why don't you have a fight with her so we can't, uh... Oh, yeah? So you're

not friends anymore.

I don't think I want to do this anymore. have a little goody for you. It'll take your mind

off this awful experience. How would you like to do a bit of public relations? You have a

lovely evening, and you make for yourself. Are you ready for this? $500. Now how does that

sound? $500? That's right. Public relations, like what? I happen to know this very rich,

and I mean very, very rich gentleman. And he's new in town. And he'd like to take out an attractive

young lady, accompany him to dinner and see the town. And he's willing to pay $500 for

the privilege. Money means nothing to him and... And what, Nora? And nothing, sweetheart.

He just wants to be friends. Lonely, that's what he is. You know, he happens to be a pretty

good-looking guy. It's just that he doesn't know many people in town. And what, Nora?

Look. Why don't we try and be grown ups about this, okay? I assure you, sex doesn't matter.

Think of this as a babysitting job. Are you interested? I don't know. I'll think about

it.

You take your time and you think about it. There's no hurry. Remember, it's real easy

money.

Oh, sweetheart, how's that going, sweetheart? Oh, hi. Oh, you're disappointed. You're

expecting the real thing? No, it's not that. I was just thinking. Oh, of course. Success,

fame, fortune, career, love. Something like that. How about let's have a drink before

class? No, thank you. Really, it's awfully late. Come on, sweetheart. Relax. Live a

little.

Besides, don't think anybody's gonna be here for at least an hour. Try it, you'll it.

Okay, let's. Come on.

Oh my , how long have we been here? You know, it's awfully late. We'll miss class. What's

the difference? You need me more than you need class right now, right? Are you sure? Don't

you feel good? I know it's three more kids.

Show of music, I can't believe it! That was a terrible joke. Oh yeah? Why are you laughing?

Because, just because. I feel really good. You know, you're really a very nice person.

Yeah, I know. That's a problem I have. I also have great taste. Look around you.

How do you like my decor? Very stylish. Is there a name for it? Definitely. Early starving

actor.

You know, really should get to class. Honey, it's a little too late for that right now.

There'll be plenty of other classes, believe me. Aren't you attracted to me? I've nothing

to do with it.

All right, let's... I'll take you home. No. Not yet. Soon, but not yet.

Oh, hello, Aaron. She speaks. Oh, speak again, bright angel, for thou art as glorious to this

night as the winged messenger of heaven or some such. Oh, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou,

Romeo? That's it. It's as far as I can go. Well, it's much better than nothing. Thank you. Are

you all right? I mean, I heard... Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Oh, please. I'm sorry. Won't

you come in? Well, if you insist.

Mmm.

You're very well, Alicia. Thank you. I think I'm a frustrated ballerina. Come dance with

me. Please? No, no, no. I don't know how. Anyway, I think dancing is just a mating

ritual. What's wrong with that? Nothing, really. It's just that I, uh, I'm impatient. I don't

need the ritual. I hate preliminaries.

anyway. Come dance with me. Please.

So come with me.

say anything about not coming home last night? No, just that she had some important date with

a movie producer. Oh boy. You got in pretty late yourself last night. Are you okay? Sure.

I feel wonderful. Aaron came over last night. Oh? Did he say anything about me not making

the workshop last night? No. He was worried about me. What did you do? Well, we danced.

Sort of, anyway. You danced?

Good morning, everybody. Well, Nice of you to check in, Stephanie. How'd you do last night?

I got the part. Oh, that's great. You see, everything ends doing the workout. Don't

let... I'm late. I've got to run. Excuse me. Thank you.

You gotta help me, mama.

See you guys later. can't do it by myself.

can't do it by myself. You gotta help me darling, or I gotta find myself somebody else.

very good reading I must say. Thank you. You also come very highly recommended which doesn't

necessarily matter a great deal. What do mean by that? Relax sweetheart. You have the part.

On one condition that is. What? I want a little of what everyone else is getting and

raving about I must admit. Well. you

Lots of people, lots of fun.

So good.

Going out tonight, Alicia? Yep. I'm seeing Aaron. Oh? Paul's coming over. We're rehearsing

a scene. That's nice. He's real cute. You're lucky. Alicia, what about Aaron? Seeing

him and all? I mean... I don't care what anybody thinks. I know he's kind and considerate.

He even recites Shakespeare to me. Do you know that? I saw him today. It is. Where?

Hey! Lookie what I got. Oh boy, another one. You must really be doing something right. You'd

better believe it. Oh, that's great. Congratulations. Listen, there's a party tonight. Lots of producers,

directors, beautiful people. Wanna come? I can't. I'm rehearsing with Paul. So what? That'll

never get you anywhere. Why do you wanna give it away when you can get something you really

want for it? If I have to sell myself for parts. I might as well become a whore. What's the

difference? It's only a body. Not to me. I don't mean to criticize you or anyone. It's just

that... It's just that you really don't want it badly enough and that is precisely why you

will never make it. And screwing Paul will never get you anywhere. Shut up, you bitch. Hmm,

isn't that something? The little cunt is upset. Please, don't fight. Please? sorry. I didn't

mean to upset her. I was just trying to help. I just can't stand arguments. My parents

used to fight all the time. Said, dry me up a while. Thank you, Kathy.

That was an impressive reading. You're pretty good. Thank you. I have a good teacher. Well,

the best teacher in the world can't give you what you already have. And that's talent.

You know, I think you're really serious about a career, aren't you? I mean, a real career.

I am. Why? Why? Yeah, why? I mean, it's a valid question, isn't it? Because I guess

I want to express myself, be fulfilled. I never thought that much about it. Perhaps

it's because I want to be important. Is that wrong? No, of course not. I love to act.

It makes me feel good and special. It gives me a purpose that I feel is worthwhile.

I feel that if I could succeed, I would count. Not just by being a success, but by living

the way that matters to me. I don't know. I'm sure there are other reasons that I don't

even know about. I could think about them if you'd like. Don't bother. It's a valid answer.

As a matter of fact, a whole bunch of them.

Hi, Hi, Steph.

Aaron called earlier. They wanted to talk to her. Oh. What does he always want? do declare

that man is insatiable. Come on, Kathy doesn't go for that crap. Oh, she doesn't? No, she

doesn't. What, do think everyone's like you? I've got news for you. Virginal Kathy is almost

as ambitious as I am. You know what I think? I figured that right now, little Kathy is

screwing her brains out trying to get some little part in Aaron's latest play. You lying fucking

bitch. She's been gone for almost two hours now. must be pretty damn convincing,

Cathy isn't that way. Everyone is that way when they want something badly enough. Isn't

that touching? Paul, in this business there's no room for love. If you want love, get out

of town.

thought she loved me. I'm sure she does. But why should I keep her from getting exactly

what she wants? Oh, heaven's sake, This kind of thing happens all the time. You know, you're

very good-looking guy. You could probably have almost anyone you wanted. You could even have

me. What? I want you to play a very important part in this play that's coming up. It requires

strong acting ability. Oh, my , Aaron. Are you serious? Do think I'm ready? Well,

now that you mention it... I'm kidding. No, I mean I'm serious, yes. Thank you. Thank

you. I don't know what else to say. Well, you better get out of here. I've got work to do.

The times we wrote on the- Don't mean nothing

see it right here in my crystal ball

Jiggle-o-Gypsy has stolen the light of

I see it right here

What's going on? I thought you were screwing Aaron. What? Well, you were, weren't you?

You certainly have a lot of faith in me. And you, Stephanie, I'm really surprised. I thought

you only screwed directors and producers. Are you lowering your standards?

you

you

don't have to move out. I am. You and Alicia can just have this dump. I can move in with

my director. He's crazy about me. You didn't know that, did you? By the way, one last little

bit of sisterly advice. You're wasting your time with Paul. He's cute, but he's a lousy

lay.

I you were making it with Aaron to get into his lousy play. I really did. How can you

love me? You don't even have enough faith in my talent to think I could make it without

screwing someone. Aaron gave me a really big part in his play. Oh, just like that? Yeah,

just like that.

And that's exactly the reason I want you to get the hell out of here.

I'll call you in a couple of days. Don't bother. I'm not going to change my mind. Maybe it's

just as well.

Orin, get your hands off of me. CUT Look, the problem with you is you are too good

looking. That's really the problem. Right now we're going through a cycle in which leading

men are not supposed to be that good looking. Why don't you say that sooner? That's no problem.

I could go out have my face bashed in by a bulldozer or shrink a couple of inches or put on 100

pounds. Very funny. You do have a sense of humor. But as I told you before, cooperation

is very important. Damn it, I did cooperate. Well, yes, and it was all very good, you see.

You got me as an agent, that's the beginning. You've got to circulate, you've got to grow.

You have to cooperate some more, damn it.

Tell me what to do. A week from Friday, there's going to be a nice little intimate Hollywood

party given by a friend of mine, a casting director, Bill Ganza. Now, there's going to be lots

of producers. There lots of projects getting started. I met Bill Ganza. He's a fag. So

what? I mean, how backwards can you be? This is Hollywood. It's the 20th century. What's

left of it? As I said, Paul. You've got to be open-minded. And the main thing is to cooperate.

I told you I'd talk to Kathy. We'll be there. Oh, please, Anisha, try. It's important to

me. I really want to make up with you guys. I love you. Kathy will be there, too. Listen,

she's not angry anymore. No, no, she never was. She was just a little bit shook up. I'm so

happy. I want you to see how good Jeff is to me. And you know what? He says he's going

to star me in his next film. Well, that's wonderful, Stephanie. I'm really very happy for you. I'm

going to do all the cooking myself. I you didn't know that I could cook. Jeff just loves it

when I cook. could I just be you, me, Kathy and Jeff? I really enjoy cooking and I really

want to make up. Okay. Bye for now. Thank you.

Don't play games. Answer me. I didn't make it with her. I didn't really want to, I guess.

Okay? Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure. What about you, huh? None of your business. Oh,

yeah. Of course not.

times.

Okay. That was pretty good. Tomorrow we'll do it better, right? Got time for coffee?

No, not tonight, Aaron. I've got to get home. I've got a lot of stuff to do. You sure you're

okay? You haven't been your old bubbly self lately. Anything wrong? No, nothing.

Good night. Okay. Thanks a lot. Good night. See you at home. If she makes it there.

Naturally.

Naturally. That was pretty good.

It's just beautiful. It's really nice. Thank you. I sure am glad you're here. know, Jeff

isn't home yet, but I'm sure he'll be home any minute and he got stuck in traffic or something

like that. Oh, I sure hope you're hungry. I made Cornish Gay Men's a la Mousquetaire.

It's my very own recipe. Well, actually it's a recipe from a cookbook, naturally. It's

Jeff's favorite too. He should have been here three or four hours ago. I wonder where in

the world he is. Well, let's get started without him. You know how all those big directors are.

Sometimes they're just so unreliable.

There we go.

I told you he'd be here. can't wait till you meet him.

Oh, hi, Steph. Steph, I want you to meet somebody. Stephanie, this is Karen. Karen, this is my

old lady. Karen is a marvelously talented young actress, and I want to be taking personal care

of her from now on. That is, if she's a very nice girl, right, Karen? Hi, Stephanie. Stephanie.

Wow, that's a beautiful name. Oh, come on, Karen, you can do better than that. Give her a big

kiss. Come on.

You didn't tell me there was going to be a crowd here. Get out. Pipe down, Steph. What's

wrong with you? Get out, you bastard, and take that cunt with you. Don't tell me what to do

in my own place. You get out, you bitch, if you don't like it here.

you

Hi, ladies. How about a drink?

you

Can you believe that? What timing. Just carry on, girls. I'll be right back. you

No,

I rang the doorbell a couple of times and there wasn't any answer. The door was unlocked.

Alicia, I wasn't really expecting you. I'm not this late, mean. I'm sorry I should have

called, but I wanted to see you, to talk to you. Yeah, well, it's just that I... Well,

I have to get back to work. Oh, well, I'll only stay a minute. Hey, Aaron, what are you doing?

Who's there? What was that? It was just a girl. An actress. Helping her with an audition

scene. Aaron, we've done everything we can get together and you've missed it. Who was

that? It a scene partner. She better stay on her side of the bed. Listen, Alicia, I'll

talk to you tomorrow. I it was special to you. You are. Oh, damn it. Alicia. You're

a sweet girl, but you're just too fragile. This time I'll shatter you.

thought I had someone to protect me. Look, I think maybe it's time you go back home.

I don't want to go home. I hate it there. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. thought

you were very special, but I guess you're not. I'm just human. No, you're not. You're just

a creep. you

You're even a prince. But, uh, you're nothing but a fraud.

trying to get another.

anyone.

I'm not ready for that. Don't talk like that. As a matter of fact, that's why I went with

Denise, my so-called agent. At least she's a woman. She may not be a beauty queen, but

she's a woman. And? I don't know how to put it. She lost interest in me real quick. Maybe

I'm not that good in a sack. Or maybe she's too well supplied with my competition.

gotta have faith in myself, Yeah, that's what Bernice says. She also says I should be more

practical. She's been coming on to me, trying to get me set up with this fag producer. What

a cunt.

No, no, no, correction. I despised him. I'm not trying to steal your husband. This was

just for fun. And now do you know that that same woman is the biggest swinger of them all?

Why, she just loves it. And you will, too. Isn't that right, Tony? Good, very good.

Very good. What's that, Jeff? What does it look like? Is there something in there that

I could do? I don't think so. Oh, come on. Not even a teeny weeny little part? Would you

get off my back? You bastard, promised me! You said that you would. You want a part?

I'll give you a part. A part you can act real well. A bit you thought you were gonna use

me? Nobody uses me. I'll wipe this town with your ass. Unless you give me your best performance.

Your Academy Award-winning performance. Now you can act. Yes. Give me the best performance

of your life.

Ugh.

on my windowpane

you

Sleep-o-ly now, peace has come, but with the dawn forgotten.

Where's my brush? I can't my brush. It's right here. Thanks. Well... think I'm ready.

Can't think of anything else? My mind's a blank. Good luck, Break a leg for me. Aren't you

coming? I want to, but I can't face Aaron right now. Alicia, need you. Please. I'll

come next week. I just need a little time. You understand, Kathy? I understand. Well,

I'm off. See ya.

you

Eleonora? Yes, sorry, member. Uh-huh. Five hundred dollars for the evening. Well, if

you want me to, I'll fix it up for you. That's a good girl. It is.

What did you say? What?

Get lost, Froggy. Oh, no, no. That's not very nice. I'm your Prince Charming, remember?

No, you're not. Yes, I am. I'll show you. What's that supposed to mean? What got?

I'm happy to see you feeling so good. Now it's time to fulfill one's obligations. Okay.

You you should be in porno. Wait till your dear manager, Jack Stein, gets a load of this.

Wait till I show this to him. Oh, he's gonna love this. I wouldn't dare you

What are doing, hiding? Huh? Everybody's waiting for you. Hey, Kathy, I am so proud of you.

You are stunning. An absolute delight to ear, eyes, nose, and throat. Come on out. There's

your career. I feel very lucky. You know, just to make a minor point, I have the power

you want this part and I can give it to you. Or not give it to you. I thought everyone wanted

me. Yes, but I make the final decision. And you don't want me? Oh, on the contrary, I want

that I value the most.
