Queen of the Lot Page #6

Synopsis: An electronic ankle bracelet and being under house arrest aren't about to stop up-and-coming actress Maggie Chase (Tanna Frederick) from the two things she craves the most: real fame and true love. With more "Google points" than her Iowa hometown, but far less than Angelina Jolie, Maggie is desperate to claw her way off the B-list of action/adventure pictures and into major movie stardom. With a team of handlers (Ron Vignone, Diane Salinger, David Proval and Zack Norman) to spin her recent drunk driving arrests into tabloid gold and bad-boy movie star boyfriend Dov Lambert (Christopher Rydell) on her arm, Maggie's star is on the rise. Things get complicated when a trip home to meet Dov's legendary family introduces Maggie to the world of Hollywood Royalty (Kathryn Crosby, Mary Crosby, Peter Bogdanovich, Dennis Christopher and Jack Heller) and to her boyfriend's brother Aaron Lambert (Noah Wyle), the black sheep of the family, a failed writer who can actually see who Maggie really is be

Well, because there were

better people at the table

getting attention than I was,

like my brother.

And it's a win in that scenario.

Somebody else had to lose.

And I...

And you never knew whether

it was a good thing to win,

or a bad thing to win,

'cause the power dynamic

was always shifting and...

It was much easier

staying in bed

and having Mai Lin

bring me my breakfast.

- I would stay in bed too.

- Yep.

INTERViEWER:
I had to fight

for this assignment,

which is not unusual,

but it's very strange

because I actually feel

like I discovered you.

Three years ago, I came out here

to interview Robin Mack,

and where is he now?

You know, Kaz got me in there,

but you were the one that

became the center of the article

and here you are.

You know I have

a million questions,

but most of them lead to

that gadget on your ankle.

- When does it come off?

- Next week.

You've been getting yourself

in a little bit of trouble

and I really don't know why.

That's not the Maggie Chase

we all knew and loved early on.

What's going on?

A little too much of this,

a little too much of that.

Trouble with the law.

Isn't that a bit of a cliche?

You know,

I really see a correlation

between you and Betty Davis.

So, with your latest legal

woes and problems,

I wouldn't worry about it

one little bit.

Betty had the same problems

at Warner Brothers.

She was sipping the sauce too.

One DUI arrest is problematic,

two is kind of comical,

if it happens

in the short period

that it's happened

for you, but...

There's not going

to be a third time.

How did it happen twice?

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:

You have been famously,

romantically linked to

Dov Lambert for quite a while.

Dov Lambert,

of Hollywood royalty.

Isn't he already married to the

dangerously sexy Shaelynn Roth?

What's ahead for you

and Dov Lambert?

What about your relationship

with Dov?

Don't you think getting

involved with a married man,

who's already

an established star,

which is a very high profile

thing to do,

is gonna kind of throw you off

your career path a little bit?

I've seen recently

that the press

has decided to be really tough.

Has it been hard for you?

Honestly, don't write this down.

It's been absolutely amazing.

It's unbelievable how you get

no coverage on anything

until you do something

really bad.

I mean getting a DUI is like the

best thing that I've ever done,

because now all of a sudden

I'm in the magazines.

Before, nobody ever even

wanted to talk about me.

Don't write that note,

you know why?

Because you write the note,

you forget about it later.

You're gonna have

that down there

and you're gonna

do the wrong thing.
