Synopsis
Brooke Collier (Golden Globe Winner* Mia Farrow) is a neurotic Hollywood starlet who still clings to her rag doll like a child despite the rising amount of very adult problems in her life - her career has stalled, she's having an affair with a married man (Emmy Award Winner** Ed Flanders), and she suffers violent, irrational mood swings. In an attempt to rebound from her life's failings, she accepts a marriage proposal from a millionaire (John Colicos). Throughout all of her internal, and occasionally external conflicts, her only friend is a frustrated writer and neighbor, Harlan Webb (Emmy Award Winner*** Hal Holbrook). As Brooke's situation and temperament become increasingly dire, Harlan may be the only thing that can save her from herself. GOODBYE, RAGGEDY ANN is a very human story of what exists beyond the glamor of Hollywood brought to life by a stellar cast- including Golden Globe Winner**** Martin Sheen as Brooke's agent. * (1965) New Star of the Year -- Actress ** (1976) Outstanding Single Performance by a Supporting Actor in Comedy or Drama Special, "A Moon for the Misbegotten"; (1977) Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama or Comedy Special, "Harry S.
