Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ’80s. And, of course, the seven husbands along the way.
Evelyn tells her about her forbidden love, failed marriages, and life in Hollywood. As Evelyn’s story nears its end, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in irreversible ways.
