"Traces the coming of age of Heidi Holland, a successful art historian, as she tries to find her bearings in a rapidly changing world."
""Wendy Wasserstein wrote the script for this movie based on her Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Jamie Lee Curtis is effectively cast as Heidi Holland, a woman on the long and often bumpy road of self-discovery from the 1960's to 1990's. The movie follows her path from high-school egghead, to feminist supporter, to intellectual art dealer/mother, and chronicles her ups and downs and revelations."--TNT website, viewed May 13, 2008 (www.tnt.tv)."@en
"This comic play charts the 1965 through 1980s experiences of a feminist art historian and her friends and lovers. We follow Heidi Holland through the decline and fall of '60-isms--from campaigning for Eugene McCarthy to challenging male bias to consciousness-raising. Along the way we meet her "family." There's Scoop Rosenbaum, Heidi's on and off lover, who switches political ideologies and girlfriends and becomes the founder of Boomer, an influential lifestyle magazine. There's handsome Peter Patrone, Heidi's witty high school comrade--a successful pediatrician who retains his idealism and remains her soulmate. And there are Heidi's women friends, the sisters who share her ups and downs and her determination to march into the 21st century. This edition includes photographs from the theatre set."@en
