This riveting drama took New York by storm in a production directed by Mike Nichols and starring William Hurt Sigourney Weaver Judith Ivey Christopher Walken Harvey Keitel Cynthia Nixon and Jerry Stiller. Characters nose-deep in the decadent perverted cocaine culture that is Hollywood pursuing a sex-crazed drug-addled vision of the American Dream. Later stage and screen incarnations have attracted such actors as Ethan Hawke Meg Ryan Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey.
