Sassy and ambitious waitress Mary Evans amuses and befriends amiable seldom-sober Hollywood film director Max Carey when he stumbles into her restaurant. Max invites Mary to his film premiere and, after a night of drinking and carousing, Mary is granted a screen test. A studio contract follows. Just as Mary finds her dreams coming true, Carey’s life and career begins its descent.

What Price Hollywood?
Gonna try to watch all of the A Star Is Born movies.. the ones I know of at least. There’s like a billion of them an it seems they’re all available to stream. I think this is the first one, it was fine.. whatever, didn’t really care. Just finished Goodfellas so I was still thinking about that one tbh
