"Lipstick Jungle" finale leaves me wanting more...
For the first 11 minutes of last night's season finale of "Lipstick Jungle," the character of Kirby (Robert Buckley) didn't have a shirt on. No wonder I love this show! Well, that's one of the reasons. The truth is, I love the three leads - Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price - and their glamorous lives as a movie studio head, magazine editor and fashion designer, respectively.
Sadly, Nico's (Raver) steamy affair with Kirby hit a snag when her boring hubby had a heart attack and now she's freaked. I loved tonight's subplot which had Wendy (Shields) trying to get a reclusive old-school screenwriter to finish her script so they can begin a tight production schedule. The awesome thing about this was having the screenwriter played by the glorious Marsha Mason who I haven't seen much of since she did a buncha episodes of "Frasier" several years back as Martin's (John Mahoney) boisterous fiance who Frasier and Niles did not much like.
Marsha was a major movie star in the 70s and 80s - nominated for four Academy Awards - starring in such films as "The Goodbye Girl," "Only When I Laugh," "Cinderella Liberty," "Chapter Two" and "Max Dugan Returns."
It was great to see her again...
