An
Emmy Award-winning actress (Kirstie Alley, playing a version of herself)
struggles to lose weight and revive her Hollywood career.
Loosely
based on Alley's real life struggles, this unscripted pseudo-reality
comedy follows a semi-fictional film and TV star, in an ongoing attempt
to find work and love in the cruel environment of
Hollywood.
Created
by the actress with Kirstie Alley and co-produced by Sandy Chanley,
the show captures the travails of an actress who doesn't quite fit
the physical mold in Hollywood
but tries anyway to snag roles (in her usual wittily acerbic style)
because she truly is a talent.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston, as well as Kid Rock, Carmen Electra,
Melissa Gilbert, Connie Stevens, and many more.
