Addison McGhee started life as Ada Sinmac Ghee in a depressing refugee camp, which might as well have been a million miles away from Hollywood. But when her family was resettled in a small Nebraska town and introduced to the wonder of television, Hollywood soon became her goal. Not long after high school she made her way to Tinsel Town and eventually worked her way up to becoming the next big thing. Emphasis on “next.” She was always on the verge of making it, never quite succeeding. She’s about to give up when television tycoon Cal Gupton calls and offers her a talk show job in New York. Suddenly she really does make it—and she even falls in love along the way. So how does she end up in jail, awaiting a deportation hearing?
