Plot Summary: In a decaying Hollywood
mansion, Jane Hudson, a former child star, and her sister Blanche, a movie
queen forced into retirement after a crippling accident, live in virtual
isolation.
Two aging film actresses live as virtual recluses in an old Hollywood
mansion. Jane Hudson, a successful child star, cares for her crippled sister
Blanche, who's career in later years eclipsed that of Jane. Now the two live
together, their relationship affected by simmering subconscious thoughts of
mutual envy, hate and revenge. |
