Finally got the idea for the beginning of the movie after reading Newsday's local story about a local 6 year old girl who is strangled by the family dog while wearing a scarf. Part of the proceeds must, by all fair-mindedness and ethical standards, go to this family.
The story is, a young woman, tormented by tragedy, divorces her husband and becomes a wildly successful actress. The success is empty, and she continually is in tears, she is not happy. She attempts to lose herself in the Hollywood lifestyle, which is not "her".
In the story, her husband (then, ex-husband) is a careful businessman, who bureaucratically protects his family with every paper means possible. As she says in the movie, "Everything would be just fine here, if only we were all paper dolls." The daughter is protected by life insurance. However, the wife is so busy doing clerical tasks (or something along those lines) that there is not time to adequately protect the daughter, who in the story, is an aspiring child actress.
Her daughter loved her, and wore her scarves around the backyard. Phone calls from casting agents and directors are still piling in before, during, and after the funeral. The main character is still crying when she picks up the phone, and that's exactly what the director is looking for, a beautiful crying woman.
Even if the alimony is only a pittance from the husband, the life insurance check is huge. The female lead throws the check in the fire the first time she receives it, along with an empty bottle of champagne. Life means nothing to her, and she spends all the money she receives as quickly as she receives it - destroying houses and sports cars as quickly as if to destroy her sadness, for just a short time.
She longs for her little life, her little happiness, her little family - however, this is gone for her. She (the main character) plows through relationships, modeling endeavors, singing attempts, fashion design work, and acting. Her one treasured possession is a curio cabinet that contains her daughter's beloved Poochie (by Boyd) as well as her Poochie collection of toys from the 1980's, as well as a few religious objects. When she returns to the house, stumbling drunk, and falls into the curio cabinet, she hopes to die. This does not happen, even though she refuses to call an ambulance. All day Saturday she stumbles about, ignoring voice mails, drinking one small flask of wine in the house, and she cannot find anything else. She goes to the hospital on Sunday morning, driving there, hoping that she will get into an accident on the way there, even hanging her scarf out of the driver's seat. However, the scarf catches in the door, instead of dragging on the ground. Nobody at the hospital recognizes her, and the doctors insist on keeping her there overnight.
Worse yet, she goes to her lawyer's office, and is too woozy and sick to notice that she has just signed the reissued check from the life insurance company for her daughter. The lawyers insist that she visit Sedona "for her health".
Poochie is also the name of a rap singer who will be releasing an album February 25th.
Somehow, the main character pulls herself together and turns out of despair. Well, this is at least what Rin Shin is hoping will happen.
