Summary Claire Makes It Big (1999)

Clair is an actress tired of being passed over for roles in favour of thinner but less talented girls. She "enhances" a movie by substituting herself in place of another actress, receives rave reviews and is celebrated across the country.

Jeremy Workman's award-winning short comedy follows the travails of a talented actress and her difficulties landing a decent movie role. A sharply written and briskly directed satire of the acting and filmmaking professions that then turns into a hilarious wish-fulfillment fantasy, it also features a lovely lead performance by Mara Hobel (whom Joan Crawford-heads may recognize as the child Christina Crawford in Mommie Dearest) and funny supporting turns from more recognizable folks like Clancy Brown, Paige Turco and Peter Bogdanovich, along with a voice cameo from the late Don LaFontaine, the voice of movie trailers.
