How did this happen? Georgie York, once the costar
of America's favorite television sitcom, has been publicly
abandoned by her famous husband, her film career has
tanked, her father is driving her crazy, and her public
image as a spunky heroine is taking a serious beating.
What should a down-on-her-luck actress do?
Not go to Vegas . . . not run into her
detestable former costar, dreamboat-from-hell Bramwell
Shepard . . . and not get caught up in an ugly
incident that leads to a calamitous elopement. Before she
knows it, Georgie has a fake marriage, a fake husband, and
maybe (or not) a fake sex life.
It's a paparazzi
free-for-all, and Georgie's nonsupporting cast doesn't
help. There's Bram's punk-nightmare housekeeper, Georgie's
own pushy parent, a suck-up agent, an icy studio head with
a private agenda, and her ex-husband's new wife, who can't
get enough of doing good deeds and saving the world—the
bitch. As for Georgie's leading man, Bram's giving the
performance of his life, but he's never cared about anyone
except himself, and it's not exactly clear why.
Two enemies find themselves working without a script in a
town where the spotlight shines bright . . . and where the
strongest emotions can wear startling disguises.

Amenia- I didn't see the Robin Schone, and must go get it right away.
