Synopsis [ edit | edit the code ]
Jane and Blanche Hudson are two sisters. Jane Hudson is a real star child in the 1920s, thanks to a song covered by all America. But past adolescence, the public has completely forgotten. And this is her sister, Blanche, who became famous in turn, becoming a famous actress and appreciated by the public. A terrible car accident, however, ended his career, making it completely dependent on his fallen sister. This is an opportunity for Jane to charge his sister, revealing over time all its bitterness, jealousy, madness and frightening; before a bombshell only confuses the issue, as to the responsibilities of the situation that Hollywood had deliberately concealed.
