A young screenwriter allows others to exploit her in the hopes of "making it" in Hollywood.
Jerilee Randall, a simple schoolgirl living in the San Fernando Valley, dreams of becoming a famous screenwriter. She meets the son of a famous screenwriter at a party and accepts his invitation to come to his house. They drive away with some other people, and that night one of his friends assaults her with a garden hose. The attack is interrupted--just in time--by screenwriter Walter Thornton. Jerilee and Walter become friends, then fall in love and marry. Their marriage falls apart when Jerilee's script rewrites actually improve one of Walter's screenplays and he feels one-upped. Jerilee then tries to write her own screenplay and have it produced, which ends up involving her in endless sordid affairs.
Cheating Notes
Jerilee, an aspiring screenwriter, marries the much older screenwriter Walter. We see them have sex a couple of times (23:06 and 28:21), with her being dissatisfied in the first one.
Walter gets jealous when Victor, owner of one of LA's hottest clubs, kisses her hand in front of him during lunch with several people. That, and with her one-upping him in screenwriting, leads to them fighting and Walter seemingly parting with her, but we don't see them getting a divorce.
With her marriage status uncertain, Jerilee has sex with Ballantine, an actor (43:51, 46:03).
Jerilee hooks up with Vincent, hoping that he will help her in her career, and has wild sex with him (1:05:19), but she seems to really have parted ways with Walter at this point, although there is still no indication that they had a divorce already.
Jerilee has a threesome with a producer and his female partner in trying to have her script produced (1:09:12). She does it again with a different producer and his wife at 1:22:33, although it's just implied this time.
