SHE'LL PLAY ANY PART TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS

Elizabeth Laurence is astoundingly beautiful. A star from the first minute she appears on celluloid, her future is certain, until she is cast opposite Jerome Didier in a hit play.

But Jerome has fallen in love with the tousle-haired and carefree Pippa Nicholls, who is neither conventionally beautiful nor an actress and, much to Elizabeth's fury, he marries her.
They are set to live happily ever after - until the playwright Oscar Greene creates a part for Elizabeth which she intuitively recognizes is based on the character of Pippa, and Jerome is tragically deceived by the duplicity of his art...
