Outrageous Fortune
“The CIA is trailing them, the KGB is tracking them, the phone company is tracing them, the police are chasing them, the cowboys are herding them, and the Indians are hunting them. Are they going to fall for all of that?”

Sandy Brozinsky, a brash, loud actress, decides through happenstance to also study with Korzenowski.
