Hollywood Diary #5

Sandra works as secretary to Boots Kirby, the host of "Wedding-A-Day," a television program where couples marry on live television for publicity and prizes—a concept that troubles her deeply. When she meets Johnny Hall, an applicant for the show who shares her misgivings about turning marriage into a spectacle, she finds herself drawn to him, even as she remains engaged to Don Willis, who pressures her to marry him on the program for the publicity it might bring to his career. As Sandra's feelings grow complicated and Don's true priorities become clear, she must confront what she really wants and what her heart is telling her.

Kathy, a glamorous movie actress working on a picture about Ted Benson—a man she's fallen for—watches helplessly as he grows closer to her co-star Martha King. Convinced that her public image as a sophisticated siren is driving Ted away, Kathy hatches a plan to remake herself into a practical, domestic woman she thinks he'll prefer. But as she trades her glamour for home cooking and ranch life, Kathy discovers that trying to be someone you're not might be the wrong path to the man's heart.

Amy Weston has spent her whole life around Hollywood's glittering studios—and wants nothing to do with it—until she meets Ken Travers, an ambitious young actor determined to claw his way to stardom. As their romance blooms on the soundstage and under the California stars, Amy finds herself torn between her love for Ken and her deepest fear: that his hunger for success will consume him, leaving their happiness behind.

Alina Marsh has made it to stardom in Hollywood, but her happiness is shadowed by obligation—her Aunt Della and cousin Ronnie have lived with her since she became a star, and now they're counting on her support as Ronnie pursues his own dreams. When the charming actor John Brent proposes marriage and asks her to leave the industry behind, Alina faces an agonizing choice between the love she's found and the loyalty her family demands, all while her old flame Phil Keefe reminds her that Hollywood runs through her veins.
