Critic's Choice

Although her sister was an aspiring actress, Valerie Washburn wasn't impressed by Hollywood's tinsel trappings. She came to Los Angeles to work behind the scenes, making a name for herself as a wardrobe designer. So why was she pulling on a platinum wig, painting her libs red, and strutting around like the budding starlet, Lana Burns?

Val's sister---the real Lana---was under the weather, and her scheduled interview with a powerful Hollywood critic was vital to her career. If she canceled now, Lana Burns would be a has-been---yesterday's news.

Although it would be the role of a lifetime, Val had to convince this man that she was Lana. What could go wrong in a two-hour interview? Plenty! The brief encounter threatened to ruin Lana's image and break Val's heart as she found herself falling in love with Tinseltown's famed, blue-eyed cynic, Wayne Christopher.
