Meg is big, busty redhead from a small Idaho town with stars in her eyes. She saves $1000 and takes a bus to New York, after having lost her virginity to Jack, a potato farmer’s son and an ox of a boy. Since she gave up her virtue, he expects they will get married so Meg high-tails it out of town.
In NY, she meets a talent agent, Bonaventura, a short middle aged slimeball who knows he can make Meg into a star. He doesn’t require her to sleep with him — he does not mix buisiness with pleasure — buit she does have to sleep with certain men to get places: beauty contest promotoers and judges, money men, directors, producers, actors. Bonaventura moves Meg around like a puppet — every act is pre-planned and for publicity.
