A young girl, Fennis Wilson, is cast in a movie, launching her career to stardom, the very thing her older sister desperately wants. Stardom is the furthest thing from 12-year-old Fennis' goals in life, as she's more introspective and intellectual. When the movie falls in her lap, it creates tension in the family that threatens to tear the family apart, while Fennis just wants everyone to be happy, especially herself.
Directed and written by
Rodney Ackland , who was a neighbor of the Howes family. Sally Ann auditioned and was chosen for the part after over two hundred auditions of other girls.External links
