We just promoted like hell to make up the cost in expanded markets...
...about shooting multimillion-dollar movie epic. Called Helen of Troy. Greek island location. Nine million-dollar budget. Already $5,000,000 over that. Disaster. Fault of Superstar Margaret Dayton. She disappears. How to render Margaret: get the way she fills the blue jeans. Banal but central. She has one hell of a behind. But remember: a schoolgirl animated by sex. Tell about Margaret's sex life. Husband's. Mama's. Producer's. Director's. Agent's. Co-star's. Don't forget character with shoe fetish. Add a little lesbianism. Anything else...
