Synopsis:

In this behind the scenes look at life among Hollywood's movie makers, power-wielders and 'beautiful people', a major motion picture is being cast and every actor in Hollywood is vying for a part. Thus the stage is set for Jackie Collins glittering and tempestuous exposé of a world most of us will only ever dream about. Enter Neil Gray, the film's proposed director who, although married to a beautiful and talented wife embarks upon an affair with screen sex siren Gina Germaine whose only motive is to secure a part in the film. Meet Elaine Conti, notorious entertainer and wife of aging matinee idol Ross Conti whose greatest ambition is to relaunch her husband's career. Gradually a dazzling array of characters come into the limelight, all in some way involved with the forthcoming major motion picture Final Reunion, and all desperate to further their own careers.

Based on the novel by Jackie Collins, the steamy ABC TV minseries Hollywood Wives began its three-evening run on February 17, 1985. Advertised with the teaser 'If you think nothing can shock you anymore,' part one got things up and running by introducing the central players, among them Elaine Conti (Candice Bergen), the ruthlessly ambitious wife of B-list movie star Ross Conti (Steve Forrest), and the promiscuous Gina Germaine (Suzanne Somers), who hopes to emerge from her famous hubby's shadow by pursuing her own screen career. The most realistic aspect of the series is the fact that the actors playing the male stars and producers are all considerably older than the women portraying their 'trophy' wives. In part two of the miniseries, Elaine continues wheeling and dealing to advance the career of her husband, a fading matinee idol. Meanwhile, the craven Gina tries to sleep her way into a major role in the latest epic directed by Neil Gray (Anthony Hopkins). And Karen Lancaster (Mary Crosby), a second-generation celebrity, embarks upon a romantic misadventure that may have consequence for her celebrated father and mother - not to mention nominal heroine Elaine. In the miniseries' third and final part, Elaine throws a huge Hollywood party to advance the career of her aging movie-star husband Ross. The site of the party is the home of established film favorite George Lancaster (Robert Stack), whose daughter, Karen (Mary Crosby), has made no secret of her intention to steal Elaine's hubby away from her. Frances Bergen, real-life mother of star Candice Bergen, is seen as George Lancaster's missus, Pamela.

Based on the bestselling book by Jackie Collins, Jackie Collins Hollywood Wives is a sexy and dramatic three part miniseries that takes a sneak peek at what life is like amongst Hollywoods movie makers, power wielders and beautiful people. Nominated for an Emmy, this all star cast includes Candice Bergen, Joanna Cassidy, Mary Crosby, Angie Dickinson, Steve Forrest, Anthony Hopkins, Roddy McDowall, Stefanie Powers, Suzanne Somers, Robert Stack, Rod Steiger, Andrew Stevens and Catherine Mary Stewart; this miniseries will envelop audiences in a thrilling world of extra marital affairs, blackmail and even the occasional murder.
