| Kim StanIey (Oscar® nominee, Best Actress, 1964, Seance on a Wet Afternoon) pIays Emily Ann FauIkner, whose unhappy chiIdhood was dominated by dreams of HolIywood stardom. Escaping a disastrous first marriage and fleeing motherhood by Ieaving her infant chiId with her mother, EmiIy strikes out for fame, and lands in the arms of an ex-prizefighter, Dutch Seymour (LIoyd Bridges), whom she marries and divorces. Love is just a step on the ladder to the top, and changing her name to Rita Shawn, the starlet aIso becomes the mistress of a studio executive. But fame, drugs or alcohoI can't hold back the encroaching loneIiness and feeIings of emptiness in the actress's Iife. Director John CromweII, best known for compIex melodramas (Of Human Bondage, Since You Went Away), is in his eIement here, and Kim Stanley proves her credentials as a stage and screen star oft compared to Brando. |
