Episode Synopsis

A palm reader once told Hedda Hopper that she was in the wrong profession--she wasn't an actress--she was a writer. By the time she was 50, Hedda was considered a failure by Hollywood standards. She was a washed up actress when a newspaper publisher dropped a column in her lap. Hedda approached her work as a columnist like it was a dramatic performance, which she acted out while dictating copy to a secretary. Within two years, she was a formidable rival to gossip queen, Louella Parsons.
