Wow!
Emmy time!
A fantastic theatre drama involving alcoholism, a comeback, kindness, treachery, heartbreak and strength.
One of Agnes Moorehead's greatest roles, and she delivers brilliantly. It deserves much attention.
Reminiscent of All About Eve, it has a more serious tone.
Jack Klugman, William Shatner, and Phyllis Love are also excellent.
Klugman is the playwright who wants only Katherine Searles - Agnes - to star in his new play despite her fall from grace years earlier, as her drinking caused her to miss performances and she has been shunned.
William Shatner, Klugman's buddy is to direct this new play, but is very skeptical about hiring Katherine.
Phyllis Love is Katherine's efficient assistant who receives support and an almost maternal kind of care from Katherine.
She is an aspiring actress.
Happily, this excellent episode is available to watch for free on YouTube. I highly recommend it!
