Girls Will Be Girls Plot Summary
What happens in Girls Will Be Girls from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 1-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Jack Plotnick plays Evie Harris, a washed-up, alcoholic, aging C-list actress whose career has spanned kinescope, stage, television, and film—from the TV special Christmas Evie to vaudeville-era promotional appearances for Dr. Vim’s Miracle Elixir, to the disaster epic Asteroid.
She lives in a tackily out-of-style bungalow with Clinton Leupp as Coco, a homely, lonely doormat of a spinster who carries a torch for the handsome young doctor who performed her abortion years ago.
Evie’s life is turned upside down by the arrival of Varla Simonds, the starry-eyed daughter of Evie’s rival, late actress Marla Simonds.
Evie acts very competitively around Varla, especially as she recognizes the growing chemistry between Varla and her sweet, handsome and microscopically endowed son and ambulance-chasing lawyer, Stevie.
