Applause (1973)

Poster for Applause

In the spotlight, glory glitters, but the shadow of sacrifice remains.

An aspiring actress, whose sugar-coated appearance belies her ruthless drive, worms herself into the life of an aging star and schemes to replace her on the stage as the star of a new play.
