Her housemaid, Sally, is worried by her behavior and tells Barbara's friend, and her agent, Danny Weiss. He tries to make Barbara move on, even getting her a role in an upcoming film. But Barbara lives in the past and won't accept that she's older now. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Trivia Ida Lupino, who starred in this episode, would later direct The Masks (1964). She thus became not just the only woman to direct an episode of the The Twilight Zone (1959), but also the only person to both star in an episode and direct one. See more »

To Barbara Jean Trenton, movie queen of another era, who has changed the blank tomb of an empty projection screen into a private world. It can happen - in the Twilight Zone.
