Day 7: Sunset Boulevard, broken dreams boulevard... “I‘m ready for my close up!”

When a star‘s career is over and her reign has been extinguished.

drbethandherkindle This musical is hilarious! 7y

CrowCAH @drbethandherkindle I‘ve not seen the play, but The Oldies movie, and I don‘t recall it being funny, quite the opposite; serious. 7y

drbethandherkindle @CrowCAH I think the most recent time I saw it was as a community theater production, so it could have been an unusual interpretation 7y

CrowCAH @drbethandherkindle oh, that could be. 7y
