Fedora
Youth had been a habit of hers for so long that she could not part with it.
A dark Hollywood mystery that uses the obsession with eternal youth and beauty to explore vanity, deception, and the corrosive cost of fame.
Down-on-his-luck Hollywood producer Barry 'Dutch' Detweiler attempts to lure Fedora, a famous but reclusive film actress, out of retirement, only to discover the horrifying truth behind her success.
