1950s Hollywood: Every actress wants to play Salome, the star-making role in a big-budget movie about the legendary woman whose story has inspired artists since ancient times. When an unknown Mexican ingenue lands the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town and an object of envy. Especially for Nancy, whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue—make for a sizzling combination. Before the curtain comes down, there will be tears and tragedy aplenty in this sexy Technicolor saga.
