About

In 1919, the recently widowed Elva Kay arrives in Hollywood with nothing but an overdose of ambition and an eight-year-old daughter whom she's determined to make a child star. Baby Jewel not only fulfils her mother's wildest dreams, but Elva herself becomes the most glamorous (and ruthless) female tycoon ever to hit Los Angeles.
