Maggie
Marlowe was a stage actress who
preferred being a housewife, as
she freely confided to her
friend Harriet the Hat.
Unfortunately, as she returned
from England to New York City
with plans to retire and raise a
family, she learned that her
fiancé had died four days
earlier, forcing her to go back
to treading the boards. Things
got worse when she learned that
her long-lost daughter was none
other than her professional
rival Kit Christy, the eager ingénue
in the play in which Maggie was
starring. Maggie began an uneasy
relationship with Kit and her
boyfriend Ralph while romancing
the married successful attorney
Jim Gavin, whose mother,
referred to commonly as Belle
Mere, seemed more angry about
the situation than his wife
Barbara.
In 1955 Bojalian, a stage
director, made some advances
toward Kit which she accepted
with an eye toward career
advancement. Meanwhile, Maggie
and Jim broke up temporarily
while Maggie considered a film
offer, then reunited after
Barbara died from a overdose of
sleeping pills in suspicious circumstances, leading the
police to suspect Jim killed
her. Eventually Barbaras
boyfriend-on-the-side Mike
Donovan admitted he had done the
dirty deed, but before the story
could progress much further, the
show
was canceled.
