Crowned Heads takes us into the interlocking lives of four film stars. First we meet Fedora, longest-reigning beauty of them all. Sexy Lorna comes next. We find her in a secluded resort trying to heal herself after many jobs, many men, and much trouble.
Bobbitt is a former kiddie star now in her thirties and still "adorable." And Willie, for decades a worldwide symbol of elegance and wit, is alone in his Hollywood showplace mourning his past until the future breaks in.
