Paper Dolls Summary
Director: Edward Zwick
Genres: Drama
Rating:
The pilot film for the ABC series of the same name, Paper Dolls concentrates upon two pretty teenagers: Taryn Blake (Daryl_Hannah) and Laurie Caswell (Alexandra_Paul). Prodded on by their ambitious mothers (played by Joan_Hackett and Jennifer_Warren) and further exploited by a ruthless agent (Joan_Collins), the two otherwise normal girls are transformed into 2,000-dollar-per-day fashion models. Although the glamour and excitement of the modeling world is thrilling at first, both Taryn and Laurie suffer mightily at the hands of those older than themselves. To make matters worse, both girls are thoroughly ostracized by their fellow teens. First telecast May 24, 1982, Paper Dolls became a weekly series over two years later, by which time the original stars had been replaced by Nicollette_Sheridan (as Taryn), Terry_Farrell (as Laurie), Brenda_Vaccaro (as Taryn's mother), and Morgan_Fairchild (as Racine, the agent); only Jennifer_Warren was carried over from the original film.
