Death of a Movie Star

StarBash gives down-and-out actors the chance to compete for a movie deal worth $10 million, and it’s the hottest show on television. But Hollywood producers think it debases their artists and will blacklist anyone who appears on it.

An actress who’s feuding with the program’s producer for mistreating her mother back in the 1950s views StarBash as the perfect place to finally set things straight. It’s bound to make for one heck of a spectacle: Hollywood A-lister Cassandra "Casmo" Moreaux versus eighty-seven-year-old film legend Lenora Danmore, the dastardly old bag who blacklisted Casmo’s mother during the McCarthy era.

Casmo plans to use StarBash to confront and embarrass Lenora in front of the entire country—but what Casmo doesn’t know could kill her.

Vindictive and wicked, Lenora is determined to set a trap for Casmo. But when Casmo unexpectedly finds herself falling in love with Micah—the show’s wry host and Lenora’s illegitimate son—the murder plot bubbles over with unforeseen complications.

With sarcastic celebrities, murderous androids, and off-the-wall humor from beginning to end, Death of a Movie Star is a gut-busting satire that masterfully tears Hollywood culture apart at the seams.
