Robyn, on the other hand, hardly thinks about marriage and children. A former Hollywood starlet, she is frequently asked for dates, sometimes by fellow jockeys. But she seldom goes out except for dinner with married friends. Her working schedule leaves little time for a social life: up at 5:30 a.m. to exercise horses, back home briefly to shower and change, off to the track to race and early to bed to rest...
Sister No. 2 is a never-was ex-starlet whose career died on the cutting-room floor. Her husband and an old Army buddy sop up beer and run through the great sports exploits of the past three decades, but she tries to grab the spotlight by doing the dance that audiences never got to see.

He bullshits continually about his mysticism and individuality and innate contrariness. But when dealing with other people, whether a terribly sympathetic press agent, a flushed would-be starlet. or a struggling-to-impress Playboy bunny, he can be unassumingly ingratiating-particularly when his irony is right, and subtly so. "I'm sorry, but I'm just in town for the day . . . since I'm an actress I thought I should meet you." says the starlet. "Well," replies Hopper. fanning...
