1956 Movie Star
Meet Susie and Jack, wholesale buyers for the McCurdy's chain of Department stores. These two are gunning for the same Chief Buyer. Of course the friendly rivals make the classic They hop in bed together! Susie and Jack's fates become entwined with a pair of talented young women, Ramona and Nikki. Ramona is an aspiring trans model & actor. Nikki is writing a draft of her first novel. Both of these ambitious Latinas are making their move as they strive to leave the mean streets behind. This "what if" take on mid-century Manhattan is the jolly conceit of cartoonist Steve Lafler with his new graphic novel 1956 Movie Star —enjoy as you lean into that transcendent Coltrane solo over a martini just past midnight in New York City, smack in the center of 1956.
