I guess you have to thank the Encore stations for bringing some of these train-wreck of a mini-series back. I suffered through this one, and it may be worth it to see this pop-culture artifact. A young, pre-plastic surgery Melanie Griffith plays Rock Hudson's young starlet and second wife. There is also a scene in which Rock "pretends" to be in bed with a man to ward off the affections of his lovesick mother-in-law, Brenda Vocarro.
The Star Maker is almost uncharmingly sexist. Could you imagine seeing a movie today in which womanizing is considered a good character trait? Hudson's character loves and leaves 'em....looking for his next famous actress--which is the plot. Watch it for stars and high camp.
