The Fan

Approaching age fifty, screen and stage star Sally Ross is nervously hitting a new milestone in her career in being in rehearsals for her first ever Broadway musical, yet she is somewhat unfulfilled at this stage in her life. While she has the loyal support of a plethora of staff at this crucial time, she really wants the support, and more importantly love, of her Los Angeles-based ex-husband, actor Jake Berman. Jake is there for her whenever he can within the confines of his current life which includes being engaged to a much younger woman named Heidi. While Sally has had her fair share of rabid fans, her personal secretary, Belle Goldman, has largely been shielding her from the latest, Douglas Breen, whose somewhat innocent early letters have become increasingly suggestive to crossing the line in he professing his love for her. Douglas knows that his letters are not being seen by Sally directly as Belle signs her own name on Sally's behalf in responses to any fan, and thus in his psychopathy will do whatever he feels he needs to to get Sally to know how he feels about her. If he is able to get directly to Sally, he may have a different target in his anger if he is spurned by her.
