a thinly-veiled portrait of the legendary Barrymores, portrays another renowned
"Royal Family of Broadway", the Cavendish clan, comprised of three generations
of legendary American actors: dowager Fanny Cavendish (Joanne Westervelt) widow
of the premier actor of his day, who at seventy is planning an upcoming tour;
brother Herbert (Richard Michael Roe), a histrionic player now in his decline;
Fanny's daughter Julie (Benita Zahn), at the height of her Broadway fame; and
son Tony (Randy McConnach), who has forsaken the stage for Hollywood. Heralding
the third generation of players, Julie's daughter Gwen (Stephanie Insogna) is
just beginning a promising ingenue career. </SPAN></SPAN></EM></FONT></P>
