Not Without You by Harriet Evans5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Although it needs some work, My Second-Best Bed has the potential to be a real film. Inspired by Eve’s film A Girl Named Rose, Sophie’s determined to shepherd through the system her own independent film. Sixty years later, Sophie still has to change her name and endure not only arranged dating, but also a paparazzi-fueled public that turns a little sweat into Armpitgate. ![]() After discovering their tryst, Gilbert arranges to have Don eliminated from her life. Yet, the industry can’t erase her memories of her sister Rose’s drowning or her own inconvenient love for Don Matthews, a powerless, alcoholic, yet loving screenwriter. Eventually, she’s even told to marry the much older, more powerful, but very dangerous actor Gilbert Travers. ![]() Hollywood producers changed Eve’s name, her wardrobe and even her hairline to generate cinematic hits. Like her idol, Eve Noel, a 1950s starlet, Sophie has little control over her career-not if she wants to make money for the box office, that is. A-list movie star Sophie Leigh has had enough of cheesy chick flicks, but her agent won’t hear of her turning down The Bachelorette Party, not with gorgeous Patrick Drew already signed on to co-star. ![]()
