Being Julia

Synopsis

Julia Lambert is a celebrated and glamorous actress, famous throughout England and happily married for years to her agent, Michael. But underneath the artifice, she is tortured by her fading looks, her philandering husband and her estranged son. When she meets Tom, a young American fan, she is swept off her feet, and embarks on a secret and passionate affair which threatens to create a social scandal that could destroy her career and marriage; until she discovers he has had an ulterior motive all along. There is no way that Julia Lambert is going to be taken for a fool, and she plans her revenge, the ultimate act of a woman scorned.
