Biographer and film historian Eddie Muller will chronicle the unexpected triumphs and pitfalls of their lives. As they navigate studio politics, volatile love affairs, paralyzing insecurities, competitive peers, the fearful paranoia of the anticommunist witchhunt and life in today's Hollywood, these women prove they're far tougher than any character they played in the movies.
