Malice in Wonderland (1985)
De worstelende actrice Hedda Hopper krijgt geen kans in Hollywood, ondanks het feit dat een van haar kennissen de extreem machtige roddelaarster Louella Parsons is – die carrières (en levens) maakt en breekt via haar dagelijkse column in een krant. De grote filmmagnaten, die genoeg hebben van Parsons macht over hun sterren, besluiten haar te ontklauwen door roddelaar Hopper neer te zetten als concurrent in de geruchtenindustrie. Wat ze niet konden voorzien, was dat Hopper net zo groot zou worden als Parsons – en minstens zo irritant. Gebaseerd op de waargebeurde verhalen van twee van de machtigste (en misschien wel gevaarlijkste) vrouwen uit de hoogtijdagen van Hollywood.
