The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewel of public and network television."
Oscar-nominee Sally Kellerman (MASH) stars in Dorothy Parker's 1929 O. Henry Prize-winning short story which poignantly chronicles the decline of a vivacious showroom model and good-time party girl in the 1920's who gives up her high-life for marriage to a traveling salesman-played by four-time Emmy-winner John Lithgow (Third Rock From the Sun). When he turns out to be a hard-drinking philanderer, the marriage deteriorates-and the now-blowsy and dissolute aging flapper turns to drinking for solace, moving from man to man as she sinks into an alcoholic haze.
