A rebellious Seattle teenage beauty is signed for a 7-year Hollywood contract, but resists the promotion game. She is accepted by the Group Theater in New York City, but against her wishes they exploit her Hollywood fame. Her attempt to restart her film career falters; she resorts to heavy drinking, suffers a mental breakdown, and is committed to a series of mental institutions. (The lobotomy never happened.) She works at a series of menial jobs, finally breaks with her overbearing mother, is honored on the TV program "This Is Your Life", and then finds success on a local TV interview show in Indianapolis. Directed by Graeme Clifford; starring Jessica Lange, Kim Stanley & Sam Shepard; Oscar noms for Best Actress (JL) & Best Supporting Actress (KS)
