Pittsburgh
10 p.m. (ET/PT) on Starz Cinema
Does love conquer all? Jeff Goldblum seeks to find that out in
Pittsburgh. After the actor gets engaged to his Canadian
actress/girlfriend (whom he's known for three weeks), she tells him
that her visa in the States will expire unless she gets an acting
job. Why work on Broadway when you can do the "The Music Man"
regionally in Pittsburgh? Thinking she'll have a better chance of
getting the lead as 'Marian, the Librarian,' the couple decides to
do a "buy one -- get one free audition." Goldblum bypasses a Michael
Bay film, which baffles his Hollywood manager, and returns to his
hometown with girlfriend and friends Ed Begley, Jr. and Illeana
Douglas in tow. Also stars musicians Moby and Alanis Morissette,
Conan O'Brien, and Keith Addis, Goldblum's manager.
