Based on an idea by Leonard Spigelgass.

Silent film director Mack Sennett discovers waitress Mabel Normand and transforms her into a screen star. Their careers soar as the new medium explodes, but professional pressures and personal conflicts strain their relationship. Amid slapstick comedy, glamour, and the darker side of show business, their love story unfolds against the backdrop of early Hollywood’s triumphs and tragedies.
