THE GODDESS

First part.
RITRATE OF A YOUNG GIRL

MARYLAND, 1930.

For God's sake, don't be alarmed.
I have not come to spend with you

more than four or five days.

We have prepared a room for you
you can stay as long as you want.

Lorraine, will you want to eat?
or drink something

After spending 11 hours on that bus,
Do you know what I want?

Have a good whiskey.

You know that in this house
We don't drink whiskey.

I'll make you a cola on the rocks.

Mom is fine, George.
she sends you regards.

I'm going to give him something to eat
to this girl

He seems to like you, Alice.
She doesn't let anyone take her like that.

Yes, there is no doubt, he likes you.
Too bad you didn't have children.

I know how much you wished you had them.

They are a joy and a point of support
in difficult times.

Like the night that Herbert
shot himself in the head.

I was crying, but I went to the room
of Ann, I began to contemplate

the sweet face of her asleep of her and so I could
face those terrible moments.

I wanted to have gone to the funeral
Herbert's, but he was jaundiced and...

You can't imagine what they were
my five years of marriage.

Mom didn't want me to marry him.
So she had many suitors.

I thought it would be
a successful man.

Everyone said that he was an entrepreneur,
that he would come to have laundries

all over Tennessee.
A charlatan is what he was.

A loser.

And I told him.

It was so vulgar. I did wrong
and I'm paying.

He left me alone with a girl from
4 years she can't help me.

And with only $171 in the bank.
What a disgrace.

If I could, I'd leave you a little
of money, but we are in crisis.

Let's not keep talking about these things.
We haven't seen each other in 5 years.

These must be moments
of happiness.

I assure you that I do not know
what has he come for

She says she don't want money
and that she doesn't want to live with us.

I don't know what he wants.
But she wants something, I'm sure.

Don't have movie magazines? Only
Do you have "EI progressive farmer"?

Of course you like it a lot.
She is completely crazy about you.

I had never seen her before
get so attached to someone

I must tell you that dinner
she has been wonderful.

George, you have a wonderful wife.

Let's go to the kitchen.
What are we doing sitting here...?

I have always envied those who
Can they cook. I am a mess.

But I'm happy and smiling
she is my character.

I always smile at
the adversities.

- Can I put on the radio?
- Do what you want, Lorraine.

I don't remember the last time
that I went to dance

The truth is that I do not remember
The last time I did something.

Herbert was so sober.

I have been able to keep my figure,
don't you think?

You certainly don't pretend
more than 19 years.

if i have a flaw
it's that I'm vain.

I was very concerned about my figure
when Ann was born

but she, like her, did exercises every
Tomorrow, I have everything on her site.

They still look at me when I go
down the street

On the bus, a man sitting
in front of me he turned to speak to me.

I would like to marry again.

how long do you think it would be
right to wait yet,

because of Herbert, before
Seriously dating another man?

I know one in CIarksville
that he is interested in me.

I do not know what else to do
except get married.

I can't stand being alone.

Can I turn off that radio?
Makes me crazy.

Try to calm down
You are very nervous.

Calm down, Lorraine. you have lived a
terrible experience, sit down.

Mama says I can live
with them to Knoxville.

But dad and she live in that dirty
two bedroom apartment

on the main street, above
from the grocery store.

I'm sure they'd be embarrassed
if i were there

On the other hand, that man
He says that he is in love with me.

He is very attractive.

a little older,
but very attractive.

Five days after the burial of
Herbert asked me to marry him.

I told him I would think about it.

He has a very nice house.
He lives alone with a sister.

But he doesn't like children.

He says he doesn't want a girl
four year old hanging from his neck.

I thought that how she is
so delighted with you, Alice Marie...

I have not seen her become attached to anyone
as I have seen with you this afternoon.

i thought if i could
leave it here

just some time,
until she manages to convince him.

She is your own daughter.

- You have always said that you wanted children.
- But you can't leave her like this.

Not even if she is with us.
Don't you understand?

I'm only 26 years old!

I still have a good figure
and I want to enjoy her life.

I can't keep it.
I have no money.

I can help you
to find a job.

I do not want to work!
I don't want a dirty job!

- It's about your daughter.
- Well, I don't want it!

I was 17 hours into labor when she was born
and it's been a problem ever since.

I didn't want her when she was born
and I don't want it now.

And what about Herbert's family?

No... pu... them.

I can't go to them.

She was also his daughter.

I don't think it is.

Well, Herbert and I never
We got along well.

I had to do something.

Now I'll have to find...
i!n employment.

Actually, that wasn't what I was looking for.
That's why I had to decide to see...

What do you want?
Do you want something, honey?

- I have approved.
- Alright. Go home.

- Here are the notes.
- I'll see you later. Go home.

Do not bother me
when I'm working.

ISylvia, I have approved!

Next year I will go to class
from Miss Kathlyn.

Sylvia?

Mrs. Lyon, is she home?

Is there someone at home?

I have passed, you know?

Hello, Mr. Reins.
Mrs. Kingbroughs.

Can I talk to you for a moment,
Emily Ann?

Did you say something to me, Louis?

Would you like to go to the movies tonight?

What do they put?

"A woman's face", with
Joan Crawford and Melvyn Douglas.

I've already seen it.

- Well, next day it will be.
- You leave me very surprised, Louis,

going with james miller
and with Frank Sutton.

You are one of the best in school
you belong to a good family.

Your father is a doctor.

I don't know what James told you
Miller from me

but i wouldn't take it seriously
nothing of what he says.

I only dated him once
And tried all kinds of things

but he did not get very far.

So I wouldn't believe anything that
either he or Frank Sutton said.

What have they told you about me?

- They haven't told me anything.
- I don't think so.

I want to know it.
What have they told you?

we could go by car
to Harlestown,

there are three cinemas there. there will be some
movie you haven't seen.

You will see...

I would like to go out with you, Louis,
because you are from a good family,

but I don't like that you pay attention
of what James Miller says.

You know where I live.

You can pick me up at 7.

- Okay, at that time!
- Hey...

pick me up at my house
like you would with other girls.

She is wearing a jacket and tie.

I'll wash the dishes when I get back.

- This dress I made myself.
- Really?

I do almost everything. As
the dress that I premiered last month,

when those of the club represent
Kauffman's "Ladies of the Theater".

were you? It was a success.

Everyone liked it very much.

They said it was the best work
what they had done at the drama club.

They were all so nice to me
that I started to cry.

Miss Jiddish told me
"Why are you crying?"

I replied "I don't know, because
They're very good to me."

And she said "You should be happy,
This is your triumphant night."

My mother went to see me.

My mother is a Seventh-day Adventist.
day.

In recent years my mother
she has become very religious.

I guess she won't bother you
that she is talking so much.

I know that I have earned the fame
to be very talkative.

Don't worry, I like it
that the girls take the initiative

in the conversation.

I seem to be very popular

precisely for always carrying
the initiative.

Do you usually daydream?
I do it very often.

I dream of going to Hollywood
and be a movie star.

I guess a lot of girls
they dream the same

It's not that I consider myself pretty,
or anything like that,

but i heard that makeup artists
from Hollywood

make movie stars
They look so much prettier.

you should read
one of those magazines.

They tell you the true stories
of the stars

I assure you that it is almost everything
make-up.

Anyway,
I think that...

Ann Sheridan is a beauty
authentic. Do you think the same?

Do you know that Lana Turner
Was she discovered at age 17?

I dream COI'! that many times.

- Don't you ever dream of that?
- I don't have those kinds of dreams.

What do you dream of?

Well, you see,
I always dream of girls.

I don't usually do very well.

Do you want me to tell you something?

Your problem is that you are
embarrassing.

You are a very attractive boy, but
you shouldn't be so shy.

It's not that I'm crazy about you,
but I'm very happy

when you asked me out

I am aware that your father
he is a doctor,

and that many people here
considers my mother and me vulgar.

Do you know that before my father
died we lived in Tennessee?

And that my father was the owner
from a laundromat?

We were highly regarded.

My mother had a colored maid
that she went twice a week

to wash and iron.
We were one of the best families.

To many girls in this town
they would like to have my past.

I know they didn't invite me
to the dance or to the party.

And you don't know how she hurt me.
I've been crying for weeks.

I would have killed Thelma Doris
and her mother.

She was supposed to be my friend and she didn't want to
invite me to your birthday party.

I asked my mother thousands of times
"Let's get out of this town, please",

but he ignored me. She's crazy
for the money, and he keeps it all.

Why do you think I work in the store
knitting after class?

'Cause she don't give me a penny
Not even to buy me a dress.

What a genius I have, right?

You will have to forgive that she has
vented like this with you,

But those things affect me a lot.

I don't expect you to understand
shame and humiliation

that a girl suffers when she is not
invite to a birthday party.

Of course I understand, Emily Ann.

All I ask is that I be treated
with the same courtesy and respect

than the other girls.

Honestly, I don't think it's asking
Too much, Emily Ann.

You're a lovely boy, Louis.

You know I like you very much?

His real name
It's not Ginger Rogers.

Her name is Virginia McMath.

Do you know how she got her start in the movies?

She was dancing in a contest
Charleston, someone saw her and...

It made her a star.

I've thought about it a lot
in going to dance classes,

learn tap dancing and all that.

But in Haggerstown there is not a single
place where you can learn.

Do you know any?

Where are we going Louis?

The best thing will be that you put the car
Go and take me home.

Louis...

Louis, leave me!

You... do it with everyone else,
why not with me?

I'm dead... I assure you.

I know what everyone
think of me

the boys whisper
when i go to class

I'm afraid to leave them, that's all.
Nobody would ask me out

if I didn't let them.

I would like to be dead.

I'd like to see you again, Louis.

Although I suppose you don't want to.

Alright.

Whatever you want.

I don't mind.

If you want to hug me
you can do it.

Someday I will go to Hollywood.
I'll go... I'll go.

Look at that.

- What a drunk, huh?
- Maybe he's dead.

we should take him somewhere
or he'll catch pneumonia.

Yeah come on.

Hey dude.

Hey, do you know who he is?
It's Tower, from John Tower's company.

Do you know who it is?
John Tower, the son of the film actor.

oh my god, what madness
of youth.

Give me a hand, will you?

- Do you think it will be okay?
- Sarah, haven't you heard?

It's John Tower, the actor's son.

He carries a hotel key
the Montgomery. Come on.

John Tower,
the son of John E. Tower!

Joey, what are we going to do with him?

It's almost twelve and we have
to take the bus.

We will tell the receptionist
call a doctor.

I'm sorry, honey, but we must
take the bus.

- You have to go home alone.
- Don't worry.

Are you sure you know
go alone

Yes, sure. Go catch the bus.
I'll take care of him.

- I'll call you, honey.
- OK.

sarah,

I think you better go
to home.

I will stay here
and I'll take care of him.

You can go.
I'll call you.

Bye bye.

Out of here.
Out.

We found you lying on the street.
On Jackson street.

It was raining and we brought you here.

You are really
John Tower's son?

I can't meet a single girl
without using those same references.

- If you're alright...
- What are you saying?

I thought I would stay until I made sure
that you were fine

And since you are,
I should better go.

Sit down, don't leave me now.

I won't try anything terrible,
except suicide.

That's why I came here
to drown in the bathtub.

If you want to check it,
she is still full.

Yesterday afternoon I got drunk,
I entered here and I was tumbling

completely naked
to the bathtub.

I put my head in the water
and I almost got it.

but i have no talent
to commit suicide

At the Axford Hotel in New York
I took 17 sleeping pills.

But they gave me a stomach pump
and I spent the night in the ER.

I tried with gas, but only got
color on the cheeks.

I simply don't know how to do it.

What do you live for?
Be honest, tell me.

any day you'll be kissing
in the back seat of a car

with a boy from the city. and like all
your friends, you will also get married.

You will start to gain weight and your husband
will get away with...

with a hotel maid.

you will have children
you will suffer for the rent,

you will get gray hair and suddenly you will look
back and say "what happened?

Everything ends".

Your friends will die and you will die
in the melancholy

crying bitterly after
some white curtains

And finally they will put you in a grave
in a wooden box.

And what will your life have been
except pain and suffering?

But what do you know?

ripped socks villager?

You don't know what loneliness is.

For you it will be not having a date
Saturday night,

and you do not know the great and terrible
pain of desolation

The desolation.

I'm cold, close the window.

Close the.

The last time I saw my father
it was 6 years ago.

He was sitting in the living room of the house
that he has in Sherman Oaks,

playing solitaire and drinking wine
because he is too expensive

buy some whiskey
irish on rye

He was half hidden behind
the thin white curtain

from his cigarette smoke,

in an empty house

He empty.

My mother suffered a nervous breakdown
when I was 11 years old

and my brother Tom is admitted
years ago in a madhouse,

where he spends the day collecting
imaginary chords of the soil.

My older brother Tom.

My father asked me "Where
have you been the last few weeks?"

The last weeks...

It had been a year and a half
in the Spanish Civil War.

And I said "I need psychiatric help,
Dad, I'm lost.

sometimes i have to push myself
so as not to throw myself out a window.

I ask you to be good to me."
He responded to me

"I keep a crazy son,
I have enough with that."

This is my father.

Star of the cinema, the theater and the radio,
admired by all.

But you can't understand it.

You can't understand it.

You don't know what loneliness is.

I'm sure you just cried for...

teenage love stories

I love you John.

I love you very much.

I don't know what to do if the army
it sends you to another place.

I think I'll die.

I will follow you.

Really, I'm serious.

I wish we were married.

She would make a good wife.

We would have a good home.

We would never regret it.

- But you're not interested in me, are you?
- That is not true.

I'm just someone to hang out with
weekend,

- who to take advantage of.
- Is not true.

Every time you make me wait in front
from the hotel an hour or an hour and a half.

And I never know if you'll come.

soldiers pass

and they play jokes on me
until I get mad.

Why do I do it?

And for whom?
You're not even interested.

I cry every night before I sleep,
thinking of you.

I think about the damage they have done to you
in life.

And I think about taking care of you and creating
a home for you

But I'm just a girl
how could it be another

It isn't true.

You are the only thing I have in life,
The most important thing.

Do you think I'm a conqueror who
does he go around collecting women?

You're the first I've talked to
in months.

sometimes i feel so alone
in my hut

that I have to stop myself so as not to go out
running to call you on the phone.

I wish you would. Hopefully.

I fear destroying the only thing that means
something for me.

That is not true.

Nothing had made me so happy in my
life like what you just said.

I am very little for you.

I really want to hug you,
Johnny.

We do not understand each other. now i love you
and then maybe I regret it.

You have a passion for respectability
and I horror for loneliness.

The worst that can happen to us
is that we get married.

I'd hate you before you took off
the makeup of the ceremony.

She would make a good wife, John.

We would have a good home.

I love you.

May God bless you and protect you.

May the light of God shine upon
you

and show you his mercy.

- I want to thank you for everything.
- There is no reason to.

- You deserve everything.
- I'll call you Monday morning.

Don't go to sleep late.

Thank you for the gifts
and for everything.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

call me tomorrow morning
and tell me how you feel.

- Does anyone want a ride?
- Bye, Mom.

Bye, Mom,
see you Monday.

Bye, bye!

Bye bye!

I'm happy.

I'm happy!

I want to thank you for having
endured the ceremony,

that is, the priest
and all the formalities.

I know you hate all
Those little formalities.

But for me they are very important.

Want you to know
that I thank you.

Well,

i guess i should clean up
all this a little.

Are you comfortable?
Are you okay?

I'm fine.

- What are you thinking about?
- In nothing.

Give me a chance,
don't turn your back on me.

I told you I'm fine!

I'll try to make this work

but now leave me alone.

I already got them to transfer me
to a combat unit.

I'm leaving next Tuesday.
I hope they kill me.

I hope so too.

Alright, I'm coming.
I'm here now. What do you want?

What's happening to you?
What's the matter?

Shut up now.

Mom will give you a kiss
and you will shut up

OK?
She is already.

What's the matter?
You have already eaten.

Do you want to finish the bottle?
I'll give it to you

Shut up already, come on.
Be quiet!

Here she is.

Don't you want it?
Come on, just a little.

Shut up now.

You're wet?

You are not wet.
What's happening to you?

Shut up now.

Shut up!

Shut up now.
Shut up now. I'm serious.

I'm serious!
Be quiet!

Shut up!

Leave me alone!

My God, my God...!
Mom, I can't take it anymore!

I have to get out of this town!
I'll leave the girl with you!

I can't, it's too much for me!
I can't take it anymore, I can't stand it!

I'm only 19 years old!

I have a nice figure.
They still look at me when I walk down the street.

I want to have fun!

And what will you do with the little one?

I don't want her...
I don't want it!

She not the one she wanted when she was born
and I don't want it now.

SECOND PART
PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG GIRL

HOLLYWOOD
1947

Hello, where are the others?

Do you know that Dutch Seymour called you
10 minutes after you left?

I'll have to call him.

Today you go out again in the column
by Abe Sullivan.

- Yes, I know.
- Hear this.

"The great boxer Dutch Seymour
He's talking about wedding bells

to the star Rita Shaw, formerly called
Emily Ann Faulkner,

Wicon City, Maryland."
Why would he have written this?

Because yesterday I called Joe Glass
and I said "Joe..."

can you bring me a tail
with crushed ice?

I said "Joe, Dutch Seymour
He won't stop begging me to marry him.

Could that be news?"
And I told him too

"If you manage to publish it, let it come out
my real name, Emily Ann Faulkner."

I spoke with my mother last week
and she told me that nobody believes

that those articles refer to me.

Do you know that my mother
she didn't know who Dutch was? Oh really.

I said "Mom, Dutch Seymour is
one of boxing's greats.

- Now do you drink before eating?
-He had 5 glasses before you came.

You should have seen him last night.
He is turning into an alcoholic.

his mother has
the broken heart.

I'm going to have to change apartments,
Hillary.

nothing but screams are heard
and discussions all day.

- Who do you live with now?
- With Sandra Shelby.

She thought you were with Charlene.

Seriously, Dutch Seymour?
does he want to marry you?

I don't know what he has seen in me.

I'm serious. I've only done
seven movies,

and he only spoke in two of them.

Although I must say that, since
that article came out this morning,

I have received four calls.

I just spoke with Hal Kings
of the Metro.

And I'll talk to Burt Harris
within half an hour.

I know a couple girls that went out
with Dutch Seymour,

They say that he is very boring.

Hillary, Dutch has dated almost
all the girls in hollywood

But he is a lost soul.

He must be very hard for a man
be a sports celebrity

and then retire and be nothing.

Do you know that he travels from one place to another
country giving talks to boy scouts?

And if he doesn't spend the day in the room
from the hotel calling his friends.

He calls me twice a day.

I think marrying him would suit him
to my career

Yes, I think I'll get married. Is better
to live with Joanna and her mother.

I'm going to call Dutch.

How about married life?
Miss Seymour?

Mrs. Seymour.

I have never been happier in my life.

It has been a wonderful trip.

But you have been there before
four or five years ago.

Do you think marriage
Will it interfere with your career?

I haven't thought about that yet.

But I don't think it happens.
TRUE?

Know?

Just arrived here

she would go to the bars and let the
men will try to link me

to have someone to talk to.

At that time she did not drink.

She sat me down with those men
until they got drunk

and then I would go home to read.

Sometimes I fell asleep
reading.

She lived with a Greek marriage
on South Orange Drive,

and I felt as lonely as a castaway
on a deserted island

But he never took me home
none of those men.

At that time I couldn't bear the idea
that no one touched me.

I was just about
to lose reason.

Hey me too
shortly before we got married.

I take great care of my appearance.
I've always been like this,

since I was young my family
taught me. They were very clean.

That was my personal stamp,
go impeccable.

I don't know, but half a year before
of getting married, it gave me...

for not shaving in a week.

God,

someone like me... without shaving.

I never stopped doing it
I even did it twice a day

if I had to go somewhere.

Sometimes I would go days without going out
from the hotel room.

I was sitting like an asshole
stubbly.

It was driving me crazy.

What was it about, Dutch?

I don't know.

AI doing nothing all day,
the man ends up wasting away.

I'm still young.

I don't know what I want to do
but i want to do something

Maybe a business.

Can't be forever
former world champion

of the lightweights.

Hey, what do you think he could do?

I don't know.

I want to leave Hollywood
sooner.

Oh really?

Here I am not doing anything.
Why fool us?

would you like us to go
to Saint Louis?

To St. Louis?
What would we do there?

My father died and now
my brother runs the business.

He is a contractor.

He writes me often to come back
and participate in the business.

I would also like to return
and participate.

I was very important there.

He had... a good reputation.

Hey, we'd buy a house
and we would organize parties.

You already met my brother
at the wedding

He likes you a lot, really.

I think it would be nice...

and authentic.

we would no longer be suspended
in the air like now.

It would be nice, would you like it?

Dutch,

you love Me?

Of course.

I mean really.
Do you really love me?

Of course I love you, honey.

So,

let's go
Let's go to Saint Louis!

- THERE I even have relatives.
- Oh honey.

We will be very happy,
you'll see

You love me Dutch.
You love Me!

You love me, you love me.
You love Me.

how does it feel when
Do you love someone, Dutch?

You've never loved anyone, huh?

No one has ever loved me.

in many ways i am
a terrifying girl.

I gave up my three year old daughter

giving it up simply
to my first husband.

He sent me some papers

and I signed them without even
read what they put.

I have never been to New York
to visit her.

I still don't understand
because you love me.

You are like a girl.

Like a girl.

I like children.
I adore my brother's children.

I'm crazy about them.

Honey, I'm going to take a shower.
Then we'll go downstairs, have dinner,

we'll have a couple of cocktails
And we're going to Burt Lancaster's house.

We are invited.

- Is something wrong?
- Excuse him.

- I want to go upstairs, Dutch.
- Aren't we going to Lancaster's house?

- I want to go upstairs!
- Hey, honey...

Dutch, I can't go to Saint Louis.
Can't!

- We're not going, honey.
- You'll get tired of me anyway.

- Why do you say that?
- I'm sure you'll let me.

If we go to St. Louis you will be ashamed
from my.

You will regret taking me.
Your family won't like me.

- Come on...
- How am I going to like them?

I'm nothing but a whore.
Dutch, give me another chance

for my career.

If I become someone you can
take me to St.Louis,

and I'm sure I'll like it
to all your friends

and you will be proud of me.

Honey, you're acting like a girl.
Come and sit.

- I'm sorry.
- Come here and calm down.

- Dear...
- I'm sorry. I'm good for nothing.

- Don't say that.
- I'm useless.

Dear...

Can you get me that?

Aren't you going to brush your teeth
or take a shower?

do you have to pose for this
kind of photos?

She didn't know that she was going to take them out
in the magazine

She told me they were for Esquire.

Won't you come with me?

Where to?

- You know where.
- I never know where you're going.

Lester Blackman throws a party
on the plate

because the movie will end
tonight.

Lester says my paper
It's the highlight of the movie.

And that R. M. Lucas, the vice president
of the producer,

He has seen the evidence and thinks
also that my role is the best.

And they're going to have that party on the set.

Are you coming or not?

I don't like this dress.
I'm going to change.

Close the blinds, will you?

So that?
They just have to buy that magazine.

I haven't cheated on you once
in the eleven months of marriage.

I could have signed a contract
with Lester Blackman hundreds of times,

whenever I wanted. but i told him
"Mr. Blackman, I am a married woman,

I do not do those things".

I haven't cheated on you once.

That's something
that you can't say

Why don't you shave?

You've been locked up here for two days.

You better get smart.

You sleep until one, two,
four, five in the afternoon.

Yeah, maybe if I had a wife...

That?

Youdon't think about me,
you never have.

- Whenever you've wanted it...
- Be quiet.

Be quiet! you married me for
appear in the newspapers, nothing more.

And why did you marry me?
Do you want to tell me?

- You're a floozy!
- Come on, tell me!

I even have to carry
my clothes to the laundry.

- Why did you marry me?
- Because? Now you ask me?

Do you want the whole world to hear you?

I married you because I believed
that you were a good girl

And that you liked me.

I want to get out of this damn town!
I don't know what I'm doing here!

I don't know where to go or what to do.

I'm here, Dutch.

I'll wait for you if you want to get dressed.

Dutch...

I leave.

OK?

Lester, my wife,

- Do you really have artistic talent?
- He's got something, Dutch.

It's fine in this movie.
It will draw attention.

It has what I call...

the quality of availability.

If I show the prettiest one, it makes
all the men in the audience

think you could make it yours
if they got to know her.

And she's a good comic actress.
R. M. Lucas has seen the evidence.

He is excited. he wants to hire her
and run a big ad campaign.

A boom.

lester,

I heard you want to go to bed
with my wife.

If I hear it again,
I'll break your head.

Dutch, I want to go with you.
I want to go to St. Louis with you.

Dutch...

Dutch...

I couldn't resist living in St. Louis
and be a "nobody".

You'd get tired of me in three months.

I would go crazy doing nothing
in all day.

Dutch...

Hello Lester.

Rita, I don't need to tell you
who is it, right?

Mr. R. M. Lucas, one of our
vice presidents.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Lucas saw the movie last night.
He is excited about your scene.

You are a very attractive woman.

She has great comedic qualities
and she is very sensual.

The public's response to you
It has been very interesting.

We think it's going to be something big.

I have a role for you.
6 weeks of work.

Your agent will tell you to accept it.
and we will send you the script.

Also, we would like to hire her.

The technicians would
very favorable.

Why don't you come to my house tonight
and calmly discuss the matter?

I usually have dinner at eight.
I'm sure you'll like the menu.

- Should I dress up or... will it be informal?
- However you want.

Mr. Blackman
will give you the address.

Say hello to her husband for me.

He is a very kind guy.

Well, a star is born.

THIRD PART
REFRAIT OF A GODDESS. 1952

Joe, Sally!

Hello, come here.

I want to introduce you to my mother.

Mrs. Faulkner, Joe and Sally Wilsey.
My mother arrived yesterday.

Nice to meet you.
How is she?

My mother read in the newspapers
that she had had a nervous breakdown.

She called me on the phone.

I already told you, right?
About the call that cost $81.

She knew my mother was coming.
Come on, sit down.

How long is she going to stay she,
Mrs. Faulkner?

She says that she will stay two weeks,
but I want her to stay to live.

This will be her new home.

She had been trying to get her to come for years
and she will leave the sad house where she lived

with my uncles.

Now that she's here
she here she will stay.

Mom, Mr. Wilsey is the producer
from the movie where I had...

the famous nervous exhaustion.

they were by my side
at all times.

My oldest and dearest friends.

They were the only ones that came
to visit me at the sanatorium,

apart from...

Shirley Donahoe. She is my hairdresser.

She's been in all the movies
I've done since 1949.

I wouldn't make a movie without her.

The other friends?
They behave as if she were dead.

That shows something, huh?
Although I don't know what.

Why don't you sit down?

we have actually come
to invite you to eat with us.

- We are going to go to...
- I'm sorry, Sally, I can't go.

I have to eat with my mother.
We hadn't seen each other for eight years.

Eight years.

It is not normal between mother
and daughter, huh?

Joe, Abe Sullivan called me yesterday.
He said that he just found out

that he was not going to see
to that psychiatrist.

Yes, I know.

And I told him:

"I am not crazy!
Why do I want a psychiatrist?"

why don't you stay here
and you eat with us?

- No, Rita, it's just...
- No problem.

I'll tell the cook.
I will not be late.

Rita, let's eat with
Arlene Cube in Frascatis.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

I want to thank you for what you have
made by my daughter when she needed it.

Talk about your friendship
with deep affection.

Ms. Faulkner, just
We know her daughter.

I didn't meet her until
we started my film 4 months ago.

And my wife only does
three weeks that she knows her.

I went to visit her at the sanatorium because
I delayed the film thirteen days.

That cost me more
of $150,000.

It saddens me to think that we
Consider your best friends.

But I'm glad you're
you here,

because you need someone.

I tried to convince her to go
to see that psychiatrist again.

- The truth is that I don't know how to do it.
- Talk to her, Mrs. Faulkner,

I assure you that you need
to that psychiatrist.

Talk to her.

American citizens, allow me
to tell you that the time has come.

The moment has come
of a new victory.

another glorious victory
Republican Party,

and a happy relief to
the long-suffering american people

on the opening day.

It's not...

It's not a detraction from honor

and the glory of our
first president.

This man's day is
that of our generation.

And as Harry Lee said of the immortal
Washington,

he is the first in the war,
the first in peace,

and the first in the heart
of his compatriots.

Are you okay, mom?

Everything's fine.

I think this is the house
biggest I've ever seen.

Yes, I think that the house of which so much
boasted Mrs. Phillips

- would fit inside the living room.
- Sure.

I have asked for; the congregation
Los Angeles Adventist and there is one.

- I'll take you tomorrow.
- Good.

I do not want to get lost
the sabbath ceremony.

Keep up your prayers, mom.

I will sit there.

Now I earn 4,000 a week,
Did you know?

Have you seen the latest Film Daily?

Do you know that they consider me a
of the six highest grossing actresses?

And do you know what she has collected
movie in New York in a week?

They premiered it at the Roxy and
they got $135,624.

It's a record.

- What do you think of your daughter?
-That she is very well.

What are you reading, mom?

"You will know that I am the Lord and
I have opened your graves

oh my people

I have taken you out of them,
I will infuse you with my spirit

and you will live...

I'm glad you came, mom.

I could go crazy spinning
in this big house.

I wanted to come the day I read in the
newspapers about your nervous breakdown.

I do not know what is happening to me!

Do you know what happened to me that day?
that I had the crisis in the studio?

I started to scream.

I saw a cat on the set.

And I started yelling "Get away from me."

And I like cats, you know.
Here I have two conjoined twins.

i think my nerves
they reached the limit.

I was drinking a lot.

I confess the sin of drinking.

Mother,

I can't stand being alone.

Sometimes I bring men home
But when they leave I don't know what to do

Because I can't stand being alone.

I wake up many times
in the middle of the night, sweating.

I have palpitations
and I can't breathe.

So I call the servants
and I ask you

keep me company
until dawn.

I need you here, mom, with me,
Because I feel like I'm going crazy.

Seriously, I think I'm
freaking out

We are on this earth to suffer.

I'll take care of you, mom.
Really, I will take care of you.

You will go with me wherever I go.
You will be by my side.

last week after
to talk to you on the phone,

I went to see Mr. Weingwright, the old man.
To him and to your aunt, who was there,

I looked at them and said:

"Wealth and fame are nothing.

There is my daughter
the envy of her generation,

that she was falling apart
by phone...

And I added "My daughter is coming
to the cataclysm of it.

She has lived tormented and in sin.

She has borne the mark of the beast
about her.

She must join Jesus
and then

maybe he can redeem himself

how will all men be redeemed
of the curse,

when their bodies come back
to mother earth...

Just open your soul.
Open your arms

and let Jesus Christ come into you.
You shouldn't hide anything from him.

Let HE fill your body
and your soul,

and you will be transported
to peace and love.

lord

I give myself without any rancor,

and i feel your sweet love

And your peace.

I feel it close to me.
Very close to me.

Open your soul and your heart.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh...
My God, my God...

Life is pain, sin and torment.
Jesus Christ absolves you, daughter,

and there is no pain, there is no sin
and there is no torment

because your body is full
of his eternal love,

his eternal compassion.
Open your heart

and let Christ in
in every part of you

- Joe!
- Hello Rita.

- How are you dear?
- I'm sorry I'm late.

But time flies.
Mom, we are here.

- Sit down, Joe.
- Thank you.

I have taken my mother for a walk
by Sherman Oaks.

I have shown him the huge house
that Johnny Tower has. Or had.

Do you know who the father was?
of my first husband?

I don't know who will live now.

There are many orange and lemon trees
over there.

I guess my mother
will have gone up

She makes me very happy to see you so well.

Joe, I'm happy.

Know?
I have found God.

I assure you.

I think you and Sally I can
tell them, because you will not mock.

Last Wednesday I woke up
at midnight with my old panic.

Joe, you were around when we were shooting
in Arizona.

You know how I was that night
when i tried to kill myself

Wednesday night,

I went to my mother's room
I woke her up

And we pray.

I asked God to save my soul.

She took my hand
squeezing it with her fingers.

I think that saved me
that my mother held me tight.

Now I know why she had those
nightmares when she got me drunk.

It was the most terrible thing in the world.

My first husband used to tell me
I just felt.

Now I know what she meant.

It is like...

if the rest of the world
was elsewhere.

like an echo

It's hard to explain.
Anyway...

my mother held my hand
and we pray. AND...

I felt like she disappeared.
She was lost.

I felt light
and worry free.

it was so wonderful
that we spent the night chatting.

Then dawn came.
It was wonderful.

The sky was red, as if on fire,
as if god was telling me

"Everything's fine".

As if it told me
personally.

i felt so good
who wanted to scream

oh my god it's wonderful
be with my mother!

Rita, it's wonderful to see you like this.

Joe,

I'm about to go back to work.
Now I'll call Abe Sullivan

to tell the studio that they can
send me scripts whenever you want.

If you think I'm going to pay you
the train ticket, you're crazy!

And I won't take you to the station either.

You can go by yourself.

I will not send you money again!
I won't send you anything.

Honey, for the record I warned you
arriving.

Mom, what have I done to you?
Will you tell me, please?

I did not intend to stay more than
Two or three weeks.

I have done my best
to make you happy.

I have been here
more than two months.

I made a donation of 10 thousand dollars
to help you in your missionary labors.

Honey, you know your Uncle George
he is very ill.

And Alice Mary has to handle it
from the store,

they can't manage without me.

Nothing I do pleases you
TRUE?

I don't think you've ever been pleased!

All you do is run from me.

I hate you so much I don't know how to tell you.
You can leave my house, go away!

You never cared if I was
alive or dead. Get out of here!

I do not want to see you again,
not even in your grave!

I hope you die soon
that that heart of ice

break you into a thousand pieces!

I wanted to tell you!

God does not exist!

Do you hear me?
God does not exist!

Have you heard what I said?

God does not exist!
God does not exist! No!

God does not exist!

God does not exist.

I hope all those people think
who is overwhelmed by pain,

but he has come to his mother's funeral
completely drunk.

It's not out of disrespect.

She is almost always drunk.

Hi Emily Ann.

John!

I didn't expect to see you here.

I present to you my aunt, Alice Mary
and to Miss Highwood, my secretary.

my first husband,
Mr John Tower.

I beg you to excuse me.

I heard a heavenly voice say
Inside me

"Blessed are those
who die in peace with the Lord".

"Yes," said the spirit, "because
they will rest from their labors

and earthly sufferings."

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
because heaven and the first earth

they were left behind
And there was no more seed.

And I, John, saw the holy city,
the new jerusalem,

that descended from heaven from God
prepared like a wife

for her husband.

And I heard a voice from heaven that said
"Pay attention,

the tabernacle of the Lord is
Between the men..

I want to die! I want to die!
I want to die, I want to die. he

Let me go, let me go!
I want to die, I want to die!

Mom... I want to die.

We are here, on the porch.

You and the girl have been very kind.
coming to the funeral

My daughter asked me to come.

She's asleep, Mr. Tower.

I gave him a sedative
when she faded away

To my daughter
he would very much like to meet her.

I think I won't let him see her,
Mr Tower.

What authority does she have in this,
Miss Highwood?

I've been with Miss Shaw for three years,
and I have great affection for him.

If there is something in this world that I will remember
Until the day she dies

It is the image of you, two years ago,
in that lawyer's office,

while that woman begged him
hysterical and kneeling

that she let him see her daughter,
and you said no.

It didn't seem like a good idea to me that my daughter
she spent two weeks with a hysterical.

Does she know that she that night
did she try to commit suicide?

I guess her duty is to care
of that poor woman.

EI mine is to make my daughter
love life

My daughter was a strange girl
for a long time,

like her parents.

And like her grandparents.

and as the generations
that preceded it,

and who came to the brink of suicide
and the madness But now she is fine.

She likes to live.

I think she will be a happy woman
When she grows up.

Her great desire is to meet her mother.
She is a loving girl.

She has given me little interest
how i feel about life

And I think Rita
she could give it to him too.

You take care of your girl, Mr. Tower.

I'll take care of mine.

So she's finally found
to a mother

- I'll be back later.
- No.

You can wait right here.

She will be up soon.

I'd better go upstairs.
She likes to see me when she wakes up.

Hi little girl.

Mr. Tower is downstairs.

- Is the girl with him?
- No.

- Can you tell him to come up?
- OK.

He is starting again.

- I'm getting nervous.
- Rita.

A telegram of condolence has arrived
by Joe and Sally Wilsey.

Who are they?

Oh yes yes...

I remember now.

sometimes i thought
what would become of them

I dont know I dont know i dont know.

We shouldn't be here. No
we should have come to this town.

It's the same as always.
The same as ever.

Have you seen the house where I grew up?

Have you seen her?
Horrendous, huh?

Horrible, horrendous, horrendous.
My God...

I'm still the same.
I am the same.

I will never be different.

She was a girl... miserable.

A girl who was walking through these
dirty streets with her booties.

I would like to sleep,
but for the rest of my life.

i wish i could sleep
the rest of my life.

do you want a sedative
to see your ex husband?

Do you have sleeping pills?

YEAH.

I have an idea. Hey,

why don't you go downstairs and tell him
to my ex-husband to go up?

Then I'll take some pills to
sleep, and rest on the plane.

OK.

- A sandwich?
- It would be good.

Hi Amy.

Do you know what she was thinking?

I thought that life is a farce.

It's actually nothing.

I am 31 years old
and when i look back

The only thing I can think of to say is
"And?"

I have a nice house, you know?

A garden...

as far as the eye can see.

Flowers... red of paradise
and tulips.

I can't get out of a taxi in New
York without having hundreds of people

around me screaming
how much they love me

I have met men.

Many men,

with anonymous faces,

because I don't remember any.
They are anonymous.

And I swear that I can't think of any
reason to get up tomorrow.

- Life is a farce, huh, John?
- No.

I'm remembering you

drunk as a cuba
in the room of that hotel,

the Montgomery Hotel,
telling me these same things,

and citing the great poets.

"Life is a bore, said the
preacher, no one can change it."

When she was little,

she dreamed very often
that she drowned me

"Quiet and dark streams
out of nowhere, where everything drowned".

I think it must be
a nice feeling...

lie down and float...

let the water cover you.

I can't take this life anymore, John.
How are you?

We couldn't talk much
The last time we saw each other.

I still resist.

You seem so good.

I see you haven't changed.

I wish we would have
met today.

Hug me, Johnny,
hug me, hug me...l

You're the only man I've ever wanted.

You didn't love me either
You needed me, but you didn't want me.

You have never known what love is.
They didn't teach you.

life is unbearable
if you don't love someone

Come with me, our daughter
she is waiting in a bar.

I want you to meet her.
people like us

we can't love anyone
more than our own children.

She has given me moments
of happiness,

moments in which I have verified
that life is beautiful.

- She wants to meet you.
- I can't see her, John, I can't.

We have come because
she wants to meet you.

I can't look at her, Johnny!
She hates me.

- Amy...
- Leave me, leave me!

Leave her.

Would you rather see her taking love in doses
in cheap hotel rooms?

I'm useless, useless!

I had my mother suffer for
17 hours when I was born.

I have caused nothing but pain to all
the ones I've known ever since!

where are the pills
where did you put them?

A useless one!
Leave me alone!

- Rita, tell me where the pills are.
- Leave me, please!

Where are the pills, honey?

- Under the mattress.
- Lie down, honey.

She was going to a psychiatrist
for four months.

Then the doctor said that she
she will never respond to treatment,

that she will always be herself.

She now she follows a simple therapy.

I'll take her to California
to keep making movies.

It's the only thing he knows how to do.

And what happens next, will happen.

But I love her.

And I'll take care of her.

Goodbye, Amy.

when i'm in hollywood
will you come to visit me?

Of course.
