New York City
Legends!, a comedy by James Kirkwood, centers on two somewhat desperate and waning movie stars: Sylvia and Leatrice. Both actresses are courted by an unscrupulous producer to co-star in his Broadway show, despite the fact that they have hated each other for decades. He convinces both ladies to go along by misleading each of them into believing that they will be starring in the show with Paul Newman. This hilarious set-up provides the background for the full-blown comic confrontation between these two stage divas and the surprising and riotous resolution, played to the hilt by Joan Collins and Linda Evans.
