Golden Vanity (2023)
After an unhinged stage crash at a 1967 awards show, faded movie star Mabel Montgomery-Mayflower flees and barricades herself in her mansion to tape-record her life story. In a solo tour de force, Melora Hardin (NBC's The Office) powerfully and painfully embodies the end product of Hollywood's use-them-up and spit-them-out machinery. Drunk and alone, Golden Vanity is Ms. Montgomery-Mayflower's last chance to preserve her horrifying, hilarious and unreliable truth - one last shot to relive the glory days, before it's too late.
