|
|
|
Kathy is stuck doing her voiceover work forever and never gets in front of the camera
|
|
|
she is made head of the studio
|
|
|
R.F. gives her a 500% raise per picture
|
|

|
|
|
Don 'fesses up and announces to the movie crowd that he is in love with Kathy
|
|
|
the stage curtain opens while Lina is lip-synching/Kathy is singing
|
|
|
Lina isn't found out - the bribery thing worked well for her!
|
|
