I liked this movie a lot. Kind of ad and depressing.
A single mother working hard in LA just to make i work. I watched it when I was about 15,
I don't remember if she used drugs in the movie or not maybe. Well it show different side the glamors Hollywood and Beverley hills anyway.
At that time there were not a lot of movies on Swedish television. around 1988.
I hope it will appear an a swedixh channel again some tine.
Susan Dey who to me is Grace Van Owen in LA Law and nobody else make a good performance in this movie. I recommend it.
