Summaries

Angela comes to Hollywood with only two things: her dream to become a movie star, and Grandpa. She leaves Grandma, an aunt, her brother, and her longtime boyfriend back in Centerville. Despite seeing major movie stars around every corner and knocking on every casting office door in town, at the end of her first day she is still unemployed. To her horror, when she arrives back at their hotel, she finds that Grandpa has been cast in a movie by William DeMille and quickly becomes a star during the ensuing weeks. Her family, worried that Angela and Grandpa are getting into trouble, come to Hollywood to drag them back home. In short order Aunt, Grandma, brother, boyfriend, and even the parrot become superstars, but Angela is still unemployed.—Marta Dawes <[email protected]>
