O'Dwyer & Grady Starring in : Acting Innocent

By Eileen Heyes

Lights...Camera...Murder. New York City, 1932. Kid actor Billy O'Dwyer's manager may be a tough cookie, but it's worth putting up with her to work in pictures. Everything's swell -- that is, until actress Amelia St. Augustine turns up dead, and all fingers point to Roscoe Chubby Muldoon, famous actor and all-around good guy. Billy's sure Roscoe's innocent, and Virginia Grady, Billy's new costar, feels the same way. -- So Billy and Virginia step out of the spotlight to investigate -- after all, there's no place in the city Billy can't charm his way into. But this mystery has no script, and the stakes are high. If these two stars guess wrong, it could mean the end...
