In the
comedic farce Soapdish, the behind-the-scenes lives of several
soap opera actors are just as melodramatic as those of their television counterparts.
Sally Field stars as
Celeste Talbert, the star of a declining TV show. To make matters worse,
Talbert's career is thrown into turmoil when her rival,
Montana Moorehead (
Cathy Moriarty), tries to persuade producer
David Barnes (
Robert Downey Jr.) to write
Talbert off the show. Smitten by
Moorehead,
Barnes comes up with a scheme to get
Talbert off the show by hiring her niece
Lori (
Elisabeth Shue) and then
Jeffrey (
Kevin Kline), an old flame and cast member who was written out of the show 20 years prior. Soon, mayhem rules on the set as the cast and crew tangle, culminating in a special episode, broadcast live.
