Plot

Kathy O'Rourke (Patty McCormack) is a child actress who on screen portrays sweet loveable girls like Shirley Temple. In real life however Kathy is anything but sweet and instead acts as a self-centered brat. Publicity agent Harry Johnson (Dan Duryea) is tasked by the studio with the job of keeping a national magazine reporter, Celeste Saunders (Jan Sterling) from discovering that their child star is a devil and not an angel. His task is complicated by the fact that Celeste is his ex-wife. Much to his surprise Celeste and Kathy become great friends because Celeste treats Kathy like a kid and not a star. However, when Kathy runs away to be with Celeste, it's Harry who gets accused of kidnapping Kathy.

Cast

gollark: Maybe we could replace the people in the miniature universe with slightly smarter people, and give them better pens.
gollark: Sensors and propulsion are pretty useful, as we're meant to be surveying stuff and whatnot. Mining and power are important for infrastructure, I guess. Computing isn't too much of a problem as the magic computer box™ is only 10 minerals.
gollark: We don't really need weapons much, so that just leaves... everything else.
gollark: Anyway, can we get the research forks to focus on specific areas?
gollark: It's fine, we're probably overthinking this a lot...
