The Starter Wife

All about one woman's rise

Emmy award-winner Debra Messing stars as the bored and pampered wife of a Hollywood studio executive who is dumped just weeks before her pre-nup was set to expire (and just as age has begun to take its toll)! Abandoned by the Hollywood community that once adored her, she now must look beyond the confines of her isolated life and find in the real world around her all new possibilities she never saw before. A sexy, savvy, and savagely funny television event, The Starter Wife is an Emmy-nominated saga of one woman's rise, fall, and rebirth, as seen through the filter of the Los Angeles social scene. Based on the bestselling novel by Gigi Levengie Grazer.
