Enjoyed the play, well written and most actors were good. It is hard to portray characters that audience knows and with some of the actors, there was a cognitive dissonance.Written on Oct 03 2011

Odalys Nanin performed the lead, wrote and produced this show, she was excellent. The show and entire cast captured the era and magic of Hollywood in the 30's. The actresses made icon's like Greta Garbo, Isadora Duncan, and Marlene Dietrich seem like real people. All performers carried the show. Fascinating to hear it is also a Movie, where can one purchase a copy?Written on Sep 26 2011

Getting this glimpse into Hollywood of the 40's was wonderful and seemed authentic; some of the characters did, too. But the lead wasn't strong enough to convince and perhaps it was just that she had written, produced, co-directed...she wasn't the person to also be acting in this big role. I'd like to see it do well but it needs some changes to really be a hit. And having said all that, I saw it on Fri. Sep 16 at what I believe was the first preview performance. It's bound to have improved already. Interesting history lesson and worth a look at the stunning "stars" of that golden era.Written on Sep 19 2011

This play was based on historic fact and had an interesting subject. Unfortunately it was so poorly written and acted that my friend and I laughed all the way back to Pasadena. We felt like we were watching a junior high production.Written on Sep 19 2011
