| The Decorator 1999
Clark Calloway, a young New England born decorator
works in New York City for the legendary interior design
firm Deidre Dawn & Company, alongside the aging
and cantankerous blueblood Deidre and widower, Paul
Hedges, chief design associate. Clark enters
the world of glamour as the firm’s clients number
the ‘who’s who’ in the theatre, film,
hotel, sports, and business worlds. Clark’s
talents include not only design and decorating, but
also attracting the amorous attention of the magical
movie star ‘goddess,’ Pamela Raven, and
those of her niece, the rebellious, anti-establishment
and orphaned Holly Raven.
When Clark becomes involved with Maria Pucci, a young ‘on-the-way-up’ starlet,
and with Allen Friedberg, head honcho at Metropolis
Pictures in Hollywood, sparks and drapery fabrics fly,
amidst a background set in the early 1970’s,
when the ‘pot and pot’ cultures were just
beginning.
