The Lot
The show opens with the "gossip of the day" in which a Hedda-Hopper-ized Holland Taylor mixes tales of the studio era, circa 1937, with the behind-the-scenes stories of our friends at the mythical Silver Screen Pictures. The plot then develops, often containing crude references to real-life stars of yesteryear combined with failed attempts at witty dialogue and often-inconceivable plot points, such as random "raids" on various parties and clubs, although prohibition ended four years earlier. The show ends the same way it began, with a sometimes drunk Hedda/Holland giving us a bit of "juicy gossip" about our "favorite" stars, then proceeding to insult them once her radio minute is over.

New Mogul in Town
Sun, Jan 7, 2001
With Warner Bros. and Fox churning out all the blockbuster hits, Sylver Studios finds itself in jeopardy of Hollywood extinction. Desperate for a signature picture, new studio head Leo Sylver finds a gem in THIS LAND OF OURS, a story about the Jewish experience in Germany. For the big-budget film, Sylver Studios "borrows" Rachel Lipton, a sassy Warner Bros. contracted actress that had been suspended from the studio by Jack Warner himself. All seems in order until Leo is threatened by the Los Angeles German consul to pull the plug on the film's distribution in Germany. Torn between staying true to his heritage and his good business sense, Leo must make a difficult moral decision.
