- Hollywood in the 1950s is a place of big glamour, small talk, and medium
cool. The studios control everything, managing their actors' careers and
massaging the image they present to the public. To do this, they need the press
onboard, and the one aspect they can't control — gossip! This means the
most powerful woman in Hollywood is Paige Turner, the celebrity columnist for
one of America's most-read papers. Known for her outrageous headgear, Paige is
often called “The Mad Hatter” — a nickname with a double
meaning, since everyone wants to be invited to her publicity party. When a more
salacious tabloid mentality creeps into the newsstands, though, Paige sees some
of her ground being threatened. And the studios see a roguish new element that
might not want to play ball. At the top of this salacious new art form is Harry
Richards, “The Tabloid Dick,” the guy with the snooping peepers who
keeps getting the scoop. What begins as a war of words ends up being a
knock-down, drag-out fight for the number one slot as the biggest rumor monger
in entertainment!
