No Talent Scouts

Occasional Wife – Season 1

Peter is asked by Mr. Brahms to help the wife of an important client get her daughter Nancy into acting. It becomes obvious that Nancy has no talent or ambition for acting and is only being pushed by her mother. Peter takes Nancy to visit an off-Broadway producer friend to discourage her. The producer, however, sees dollar signs and allows Nancy's mother to back his play. Peter helps Nancy realize she has no talent and she pretends to be a tempermental actress in front of her mother who finally realizes that Nancy has no desire to become an actress. The man-in-the-middle does exercises in his bathrobe.
