Hollywood Wives: The New Generation is a sleazy story about self-centered women. It reminds you of a drug store novel. However, Farrah gives her last performance in a leading role and proves she is still sexy at 56. Also, Farrah was a damn good actress. It is wonderful that she had a good leading role before she got sick and ultimately left us. The draw backs are the younger actors. Even though they are pretty to look at, the actors just can't act. Melissa Gilbert does a good role and so does Robin Givens with Jack Scalia. Robin Givens proves she can act but her role is small compared to Farrah's and Melissa's. However, then again, I guess they are bigger stars. If you are a Farrah fan, this is a must for your collection. Farrah proves she is a sex symbol in her late fifties and women can be just as sexy as men, late in life. She will become a legend like Marilyn Monroe. In summary, the movie involves wife beating, adultery, selfishness, and kidnapping. However, this is Farrah's last starring role and a good one to remember her as being the sex symbol and actress that she was.

Though the 1st was much better,I will be getting this for the fact that the late great Farrah plays the lead.
She's looks amazing in this movie and I hope all of her other films get a much overdue dvd releases

THIS IS A NICE MOVIE TO REMEMBER FARRAH BY. SHE WAS THE LEAD CHARACTER, AND I ENJOYED THE MOVIE THOROUGHLY. I THINK OTHER FANS WILL TOO. WORTH BUYING AND WATCHING FARRAH, AND SHE LOOKS GORGEOUS.

It's so difficult to find the movies based on Jackie Collins books...I was thrilled to find this and receive it in great condition.

Farrah Fawcett made some terrific TV movies/miniseries in her time - "Small Sacrifices", "The Burning Bed". Unfortunately, "Hollywood Wives" is not one of them.

Even if you see this in a bargain bin like I did, and are expecting a camp-tastic, over-the-top, so-bad-it's-good hootfest like "Lace" or "Valley of the Dolls 1981", don't bother with it. You will be sadly disappointed.

Despite the fact that this is a Hollywood production about Hollywood, the script is ludicrous. We are expected to believe that Farrah's character is a successful 50-something actress with a hit film in which she also performs the soundtrack herself. Can you actually name a 50-something actress who had a hit single from her own film?

None of the characters in this fiasco are likeable. The male actors are all forgettable. Robin Givens and Melissa Gilbert both play self-centered, "put-upon" women. I actually found myself identifying with the villain more than any of the other characters. I was hoping he would do away with Fawcett's spoiled daughter.

I miss Farrah. She seemed like such a fun person. When I want to remember her I will watch her as Jill Munroe, Diane Downs....anything but in this mess!

This DVD is for completists who need to see everything Farrah's ever done, everyone else needs to stay far, far away.
