SYNOPSIS:
Short, simple script. Takes place in a bedroom. DEBBIE PRICE, 70, looks at herself in the mirror and sees wrinkles. She recalls that people once said she looked like Brigette
Bardot. Her daughter, MARCI, 36, comes in to see her. Marci asks what she is doing. Debbie tells her about Brigette Bardot, but Marci has no idea who that is or was. Marci looks at the pictures of vintage bathing suits hanging on the walls. She asks about the red, polka dot bikini she knows her mother has kept. Marci wants to try it on. Reluctantly Debbie gets the suit and Marci wears it. Debbie takes a cell phone photo of Marci in the bikini and posts the picture online. It instantly gets many “likes.” Marci tells her mother that she thinks she still looks like Brigette Bardot.
