Janet Leigh's indelible performance as Marion Crane creates a palpable absence when she's murdered in the shower. Audiences feel her presence not only in the picture once she's gone, but in cinema over the last sixty-two years, ever since the point of view shifted away from a woman who knows all the answers. Janet's bits of business with a pile of dough are a revelation, no matter how many times you watch.

In the series finale, Cleo discovers that having script approval in her contract is meaningless once the Production Code is enforced. Under the new rules, Cleo must argue over every page and justify her artistic choices to men who don't care about the integrity of woman's pictures. At the same time, Tully's star rises.

In 1931, Warner Bros. star Cleo Longe tops the box office in pictures where she gets away with it: no strings sex or sending men to the morgue. One night at a party, she meets Richard Tulliver, a new contract player who is cast as the juvenile in her next production. Cleo coaches him through the part and suggests a new name for his screen billing.

Jane Wyman started out as a platinum blonde chorine and became a top star in melodrama through the education of 'B' pictures. She worked hard, hit the marks, and built her craft, which made her one of the most durable stars in Hollywood. Wyman's Oscar win for Johnny Belinda proved her intelligence and sensitivity as a performer.

Joan Crawford did not have to wonder what it was like to be married to a man who suddenly changed overnight--she was living it as a newlywed bride to corporate tycoon Al Steele. Joan's fourth husband turned from Jekyll to Hyde once vows were exchanged. In Robert Aldrich's picture, Joan channels the fear many women have about waking up next to a monster.

In the series finale, the intrepid stenographers case a joint in Beverly Hills and a canyon ranch in search of their missing friend.

Will they get there in time?
