Polly Pepper is a living legend, straight from television's golden age. But that was 30 years ago, and these days, it seems her only time in the spotlight is accepting some yes-your-career-is-over Lifetime Achievement Award. Really would it kill someone to offer her a decent role?

Polly Pepper was a star back in the Golden Age, but she hasn't had a film role in ages and is really POed when her old rival gets the part in a new film after the character actress dies of a heart attack. Was it really a heart attack?

Then comes a twist when old rival is found dead at the bottom of the high school pool with no water. Who killed her? Should Polly risk taking on the role since there have been two deaths?

Polly with her faithful servant, Placenta, and her gay son, Tim, set out to solve the mystery and get Polly back in the limelight.

I didn't like it. At least 1/3 of the pages were filled with name dropping, and film history per se. There really wasn't much character development and the mystery was very easy to solve. Not a series I will continue anytime soon. (
