La sera della prima (1977)
Myrtle è un'attrice prossima al viale del tramonto e sta provando una commedia da portare a New York. La protagonista è una donna cinquantenne su cui pesano gli anni e il rimpianto di una giovinezza perduta. Myrtle però si sente più giovane del suo personaggio, teme di non poterne condividere le angosce e, pertanto, non in grado di interpretarlo al meglio, come vorrebbe.
