Geschichte
Alyssa Rampart Pillage, once a TV queen but now reduced to starring in commercials for her husband Bernie's appliance empire, suffers another tragedy when their daughter Topanga dies in a golf ball accident. Bernie responds by attempting to give away their fortune with disastrous results. However, Alyssa sees an opportunity amidst the chaos and uses the attention surrounding their family's misfortunes to reinvent her career. As bodies start piling up due to Bernie's impulsive philanthropy and Alyssa's newfound fame, she finds herself rising to stardom once again.
Zusammenfassung
Bad Actress is a black comedy film that serves as a scathing critique of Hollywood and celebrity culture. The story follows washed-up actress Alyssa Rampart Pillage, who sees an opportunity for career rejuvenation amidst the tragedies befalling her family. As her husband Bernie's impulsive acts of charity lead to disaster, Alyssa uses the ensuing chaos to reclaim her fame. The film humorously explores the theme of justice versus celebrity, suggesting that in Hollywood, fame often trumps morality.
