Summary:

Based on the tragic life of America's first supermodel. It is the late 70's in New York City - the home of Studio 54, designer jeans, drugs and disco. One girl is living life in the fast lane. She can have any man - or woman - she wants. Sex, money, glamour, fame - it was all within her reach. She walks toward you across the dance floor, struts toward you down the runway, stares at you from the cover of a magazine. She was a star who appeared on the covers of Vogue and Cosmo before dying of complications from AIDS in 1986.
