Adapted from the
Edna Ferber and
George S. Kaufman play,
Stage Door is a
comedic portrait of the theatrical community in New York.
Katharine Hepburn stars as
Terry Randall a young woman who comes from a wealthy, socially connected family. Aspiring for a career on the stage,
Terry opts to see if she can make it on her own gumption and moves into a boarding house with several other wannabe Broadway starlets attempting to make a mark for themselves in show business.
Terry's sassy roommate
Jean (
Ginger Rogers) just might get the opportunity to do that when she meets a lecherous producer, but at what cost? Unamused by
Terry's attempts to pull herself up by her bootstraps, her father offers her an opportunity for a starring role in a show that's sure to fail.
Lucille Ball,
Eve Arden, and
Ann Miller are among the other residents of the boarding house.
