Lady Boss is a 1990 novel written by Jackie Collins and the third in her Santangelo novels series.
The novel was adapted as a TV movie miniseries in 1992, starring Kim Delaney in the title role of Lucky Santangelo. Co-stars include Jack Scalia, Yvette Mimieux, Joan Rivers, Beth Toussaint, Alan Rachins, Vanity, and John Randolph.
Plot
[edit]Lady Boss tells the story of Lucky Santangelo taking over a movie studio in Hollywood called "Panther Studios."
Miniseries
[edit]The novel inspired an NBC miniseries with the teleplay by Jackie Collins and directed by Charles Jarrott in 1992.[1][2]
It follows 1990's NBC miniseries Lucky Chances, although only Phil Morris reprises his role as Steven Morris. Kim Delaney replaces Nicollette Sheridan as Lucky, Jack Scalia replaces Tim Ryan as Lennie, and Joe Cortese replaces Luca Bercovici as Santino.[3]
Future President Donald Trump appears in a cameo appearance as himself, as he did previously in 1987's CBS miniseries I'll Take Manhattan.[4]
