Movie Stars

Movie Stars was a WB network sitcom TV series created by Wayne Lemon that premiered on July 11, 2000.

The show starred Harry Hamlin, Jennifer Grant, Marnette Patterson (who replaced Shiri Appleby from the pilot episode), Zack Hopkins, Rachel David, Anne Haney (who only appeared in the first season), Mark Benninghoffen and Joey Travolta, Don Swayze & Frank Stallone (who appeared as themselves).

After 2 seasons and 21 episodes, the show was cancelled.

Plot
Reese Hardin (Harry Hamlin) was the star of over-the-top but high-grossing action films while Jacey Watts (Jennifer Grant), his second wife, was an often-nominated dramatic actress.

They lived in a fancy house in Malibu, California, (next door to Tom Hanks, who was never seen) and raising their children, Apache and Moonglow. Also living with them were Reese's less successful brother Todd and Lori, Reese's daughter from his first marriage. Apache always tried to come up with marketing ideas for his parents; in the second season he worked to try to get Jacey the Oscar he felt she deserved.

A running gag was that Todd's poker buddies were the less-successful brothers of John Travolta, Patrick Swayze and Sylvester Stallone.
