The Lonely Lady (1983) Following her role in Butterfly (1982), Pia Zadora also starred in director Peter Sasdy's trashy The Lonely Lady (1983). It was an adaptation of a Harold Robbins novel by Ellen Shepard, about "the story of a woman's struggle for fame in Hollywood."
The movie’s whole plot hinges on Pia’s ability to rewrite a scene better than her jealous writer-husband. When the star of her husband’s movie weeps that she can’t play a certain graveyard scene, Pia whips out the portable typewriter and writes brilliant new dialogue for the star.

The plot follows Jerilee Randall, an aspiring screenwriter who deals with many abusive men in her attempts to achieve success in Hollywood. A critical and commercial failure, The Lonely Lady was the last adaptation of one of Robbins' best selling novels before he died in 1997, and, to date, the last such adaptation of any of his works.
