Season 2, Episode 1
Demi Moore plays a secretary looking for answers to her life. She goes to see a fortune teller who informs her that she will lose her current job, but she will have another before the day is through. Sure enough, she gets fired from her job, but immediately gets another as a cocktail waitress in a burlesque nightclub. Well, our lovely waitress is absolutely bewildered by this prediction, so she goes back to the fortune teller to find out what else life has in store for her. She's told she will meet not a tall dark stranger, but a rather large one whom she will marry. He will inherit a large sum of money from a wealthy relative and soon thereafter go up to the big buffet in the sky. She meets Jeffrey Tambor wearing a fat body suit and hideous facial makeup. He becomes fascinated with her and proposes marriage. She trots back to the fortune teller to make sure that this is the man who will make her rich. She marries the disgusting ogre and bides her time waiting to get her grubby golddigging hands on that inheritance. Time goes by and nothing happens, but the fortune teller ensures her that it will still happen. Soon after, she's at the local automat and, miracle of miracles, happens to be the one millionth customer and thereby wins a million dollars. She heads home with her new found fortune to pack her bags and leave the big slob. He just isn't having it and if he can't have her, no one can. He brutally stabs her to death and does indeed inherit a fortune from a relative and soon thereafter dies... by electric chair. I forgot that this series was not broadcast on regular TV, but was on HBO. There are some nice pastie covered titties in the burlesque club and the 1950 setting is a nice change. - DirectorArnold SchwarzeneggerStarsWilliam HickeyRick RossovichKelly PrestonA wealthy and elderly man subjects himself to a revolutionary new treatment in order to please his gold-digger girlfriend.
